Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up, everybody? Welcome to My wife Loves Wrestling Podcast.
I'm Miles Webber and like she is, and she loves wrestling.
I do, I do, so do I.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
It's kind of fun. I don't know if my belly's
eating this, but like wearing this shirt.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Pregnants like I'm your Poppy shirt has me feeling some
type of wa.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I was, like, it's kind of cool because it's like
right over where our daughter is resting.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Like well, and just the confusion of like, but you're
pregnant and you're a poppy.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, oh yeah, you are a poppy. I need to
get the I'm mommy you do? Sure that needs to
happen too, because I've got the riar ripley one. So
but no, we are very excited today, as we are
every day we get to record this podcast. Man, we've
got a very special guest. He's a hilarious comedian who
travels all around telling hilarious yuck yucks and and laugh
(00:51):
them ups. I want you to give it up for
my good friend, Eric Escobar.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yes, happy to be here, not Miles wife, but I
do love wrestling. This is very exciting. One out of
two boom you got a belt on. I got a
belt on I got I'm very pink today. I was
very pink today, but today's a pink day. It is
a pink hat. Got this pink comedy belt. I used
to in an open mic where we had a belt
for the best joke of the night. Oh wow, it's
(01:17):
a fun thing. And then every comic would sign it.
And after about a year of an open mic, it
just got very beer stained and gross. So this is
the new belt. Nice, the upgrade. It's wonderful. I love
it every opportunity. Let's wear it. You got your.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Face on the little plates on the side.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
I do, I do. So if it gets stolen, it
can only be stolen by bearded, bald but suited men
who are maybe wearing a Filipino flag in the back.
That's the rule.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Which are the people who tend to steal title belts?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
That was most of the open mic. Actually, ye great.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
If you like make it where you can have a belt,
people will do just about anything. Like I was in
a league for beer pong, and partially only because you
got to have tidle belts. Like if you it of like,
I want a belt, so go a long way.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I love it. I was on a little show called
it you have mister Beast. You guys got so we
had a show called Beast Games. That's me on it
And I got this belt and I put his logo
on it, and I was like, I'm going to breathe show.
I think it got me on the show. So now
every audition I do I utilize this belt, I'll be like, oh,
price is right, prices right, price is right, Champion, can
(02:26):
I need the brilliant brilliant?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Well, you are also on I can see your voice.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
My voice, your voices the voice show we were. It
was really fun. It was great spoiler alert. I was
a bad singer and it was fun because they had
to train you through like vocal training and coaching on
how to be bad. It'd be like, oh, like, pretend
to sing this song. You're too on ritten too good,
or your your your tone is too nice because.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
They need you to like ham up the being badness.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Yeah. I thought I was gonna horrible singer, But I
don't know. The half Filipino jeans like they were coming
through somewhere in my soul.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Those magic mics in the back of the car, you know,
just put that done.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
My song good Filipino accidents could be my poppy. Maybe
maybe he is the husband I am the one. We'll say,
we'll see.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
We did want to ask you, just off the top,
like when did you fall in love with wrestling?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Man? I fell in love with wrestling twice. The first
time I had a crush on this girl in my
class in fifth grade who was in love with China.
She was a big China person and a big lead
a person Leada and the Hardy Boys because she loved
like the you know, the women wrestlers and everything. So
I started watching wrestling to impress her and have something
to talk about. And then I stopped having a crush
(03:46):
on her and then developed a crush on China and
Lida Yeah, And I was like, oh, this is great.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
No part was a red flag of like a girl
has a crush on another girl and you're like, I'm
gonna try and mess shoot.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Your shot three time, Sam Muzaine does any opportunity, got
halluva kick it in the face. That's what I said.
That's what I say, So I got. I was into
it for a long time and then there around high
school I kind of fell out ruthless aggression. I kind
of fell out, which is weird because I was never
a big Orton fan or Sena fan. They're great, but
I just it was when I whoop, it's as doubt
(04:20):
and then I would say around twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen,
I'm from LA. I have a buddy who took me
to p w G. I don't know if you guys
are for fans of Oh yeah, I heard yeah, and
it was wild. I look back at the card that
I saw and it was a It was an event
called Black Cole Sun. I think it was god. The
whole event was wild. It was like Adam Cole, uh, Cedric, Alexander,
(04:41):
Chuck Taylor, Oh my, Christopher Daniels, Ricochet. It was crazy
that this wild match at the end where I think
it was, Oh, it was Ricochet versus Kyle O'Reilly for
the championship, but originally it was supposed to be Roderick
Strong versus I think Kyle O'Reilly. So they're like, hey,
Roderick's strong. He couldn't make it, but we have a
(05:03):
great person. It's Ricochet. Everyone popped. It's great. Ricochet. Kylie Riley,
great match, Kyler Riley, wins. I don't know where the
lights go off comes back on. He's there. I just
said his name backbreaker. Uh, roder Strunk is there. He's like,
just kidding, I didn't miss my flight. Let's have a match.
And I'm like, only in indie wrestling, can you be like, Oh,
(05:24):
I skipped my flight, just kidding. I made my flight.
I'm like, this is the best Little Veterans Hall I've
ever been in. It was great.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
These are so fun.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
It was such a different When we lived in Vegas,
we went to f s W a couple of times,
and it was when Carrie and Cross was right.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Before he signed with like a few weeks before. And
then also m v P m VP and that was
more of a thriller, but you got th scary MVP.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
So but it's it's such a different invite, like because
it's so close quarters. Yeah, there's so much shit talking
because the wrestlers can hear you, and oh, it's so
much fun.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Well, we brought our friend Chelsea Bears and when she
found out that heckling was permitted, she's like, oh, this
is the best. And I'm just like, oh, yeah, they're
right there, man. I'm like, yeah, talk shitah.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
It's amazing. When I was living I used to live
in Occidental sort of by Santa Rosa, by Santa Espal
and we would drive down to hood Slam while and
you would be you would be smoking a joint and
then give it to a wrestler and then match. They
would smoke the d in the past, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Like, what.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Wild like the amount of just like I don't know.
I think a big part of comedy that I love
so much is the community and the connection and the
and I feel like wrestling is almost that times a million.
The community, the we're on the same page. Noss that. Oh,
it's it's it's beautiful. The only difference between comics and
wrestlers is I have a bad set. I cry, I
have a bad set. They no longer have an arm
(06:56):
you know what I mean, Bigger steaks.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, well, I think that that's part of the cool thing,
even like when they're doing like Summer Slam or WrestleMania,
like the whole week leading up to it, and even
when we went to WrestleMania this year, we like joined
a whole bunch of Facebook WrestleMania group. Yes, cool, just
to like also see like where people are at and
what people are doing, who's selling what? But yeah, just
that sense of community, even in just the groups is
(07:22):
so dope.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Absolutely. Yeah, it's a very tiny, nited community. You say,
who's selling what? Are you guys? Collectors of a specific thing?
Are you guys like people like belt people.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
We really wanted the chair, the two chair, partially for
me and partially for our son because when I was
pregnant with our son, I went to SummerSlam in Las
Vegas where it was Roman Reigns and John Cena and
we have that chair.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
He got it for me for.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
I sit on their face.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Some people got to pay for that, John Cena and
Roman Reigns.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
I'm just like, all right, let's go boy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
And so our son was like he's understanding that now
that's an option, and so he was like, oh, can
I get like a Sena and Cody Rhads chair?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And it's like it's not that easy.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Yeah, And so I mean we were hoping that like
maybe somebody didn't want to check it and fly back
with it, and like they'd just be.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Like yeah, But now it's like a whole process to
be able to get that chair out of this stadium.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
You have to have like a certain color wristband. Like
if somebody tries to sell you it while you're still
in the stadium, unless you have that wristband, security.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Is not going to let you walk out with it.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah, yeah, I'll stop.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
We saw people getting stopped there. It's like you don't
have the wristband, so you can't take that out.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
And those risk people made like a thousand dollars a
chair and.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Gone sell Yeah yeah, yeah man. So it's a whole
process now to get those chairs.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
So we'll keep our eyes out on the internet or
anybody out.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
There listening or watching it. We got that WrestleMania forty
one John Cena and Cody Rhoads chair.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Our son would really like I just have obscure like
stuff like I have a cardboard cutout of John Cena.
That's probably how old and I'm turning thirty six, so
that thing's probably almost twenty years old.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, I don't sign it at like mall right.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah he it was when the movie Twelve Rounds came
out and he was doing an autograph signing at the
mall when like video stores were still a thing.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
That's great, and so I guess I.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Brought the cardboard cutout with me, and man, it was
a battle because I didn't I'm dumb at the time.
I didn't know how long that line was going to be.
And another risk band thing. You had to have the
wristband and you had to have the DVD for him
to sign. The movie stores were out. My ex was
an angel at the time and went across to like
(09:44):
I don't know if it was Circuit City or something,
and just bought the DVD there and I stayed in
line with the cardboard cutout the whole time. And then
as I got closer to the front of the line,
this couple was walking off and we did the whole
slide the risk and onto my hand because I let
them take a picture with the Cena cardboard cutout.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Because that was the thing.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
And so my ex's wristband broke and mine did it,
and I looked at him, He's like, oh. And so
I got to meet Sena and I.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Put the cardboard cut out so proud of it, and
he just looks up.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
He's like, this is impressive, and I was like thanks,
and he wanted to actually like hear the story of
how I got it, and security was trying to like push.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Me through it, and you were like.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Scena put his hand up to security and was like
I want to finish hearing her story. And so to
this day we still have it. I mean, it's holding
on by your threat. We need to figure out how
to laminate it.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
I feel like Miles like, good, all right, I've had
enough time competing against this sena cutout. I mean that's
been like.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
A staple in our home, our entire relationship. Like back
in the day we had roommates for a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
We would hide it in the house to try and
scare each other, Like the pantry when you open the door,
he was standing there, or like going up the stairs,
we had it like.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
We tack where he peak is out, or like in
the bathroom we put it behind the door so you
close the door and he's like right there when you
turn the light on. So yeah, no, that's he's been
hopping around our household a lot. When he turned heel though,
we did turn it a little heel turn, Yeah, we did.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Would you would you say you still have the twelve
Rounds DVD that you purchase, because that I feel as
almost just as value.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I wish I did. I wish I did.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
No, I don't have that, just the den Ambrose one,
just exactly just that one.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But I then we should get into your list. So
the list a list of Heather. So tell us what
made the list?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Man? Did you watch Raw this week?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I got the highlights? Okay, highlights, Okay, actually I think helights.
I think I caught a cult to hoolic review, you
know what I mean, like someone doing the highlights of
the highlights of the highlights bare minimum.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
You gotta go back and watch the opening promo with
bron Breaker, Seth Rowlins, Ronson.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Reid, and Paul Hamon.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Paul Hayman goes to hand Seth the mic, yeah, and
bron Breaker grabs.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
It, grabs it from him.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
And just starts talking.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
And he was like, Paul Hayman and Seth Rowlands are
setting it up where I'm going to be the face
of this company for the next two decades. And then
he keeps saying some other stuff. But you're so distracted
because Seth and Paul are behind them, like did.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
You say that?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Did you do That's funny?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
They're really hamming it, Like keep your eyes on Seth
and Paul. The whole time because they're really sticking it
up as much as they can. But then, yeah, Breaker
was just kind of talking about how much he hates
Sammy's ain right, Yeah, I just go to the gym
like I do, and like I hate his face and
I hate his music, and yeah, it was just such
(12:58):
a I was expecting him just like do you hate
him on a boat?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Do you hate him in a moat? Like I do?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Not like Sammy's say and sam I am, but I
mean so yeah, Like it was a very weird promo,
but those two behind him.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
And then we did talk about bron he's talking more
now than he normally does.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Well, I think him just saying is him talking more? Yeah,
kind of like low key in the group.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
His voice is so sexy and we were talking about it.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
If he was on Love Is Blind, those contestants would
be furious.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
He pulls it apart, splashes through it. I love you.
I don't think i've heard him speak. Is it like
a because I'm trying to picture. Is it like a
smooth jazz like deep or.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Is it like English or something Australia?
Speaker 5 (13:54):
Yea, so it is very he has a very smooth,
sexy Australian accent, so yeah, you close your eyes, you're like,
hey daddy, and then you're terrified.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Those were two very tonal changes, because when I think
of Bronson Reed, I'm like, oh, tough guys, it's like, oh,
sexy man. Okay, but even uh Steiner what's his name?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Rick Steiner, the other guy in the group we were
just talking about.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
I feel like he is super tough and like, so
for him to like show some comedy, I kind of
like that they're rounding out the characters a little more
because before they were just like two tough guys. They
were too like we're AOP two point zero. But now
it's like, okay, if you're getting a little time, if
you're getting a little funny, I'm into this.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
The promo, I think Brown Breaker's voice squeaked at one point,
yeah cracked, yea.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, and it's like East Coast squeak, like yeah man.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
And then Paul Hayman gets his time on the mic.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Did Paul Haymon starts dissing Penta in Spanish?
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Wh it goes over to think, yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Did you know He's like, I did not hould the
Hangman page is what he did. I didn't know you
could do that.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
The whole opening, it just it was good, so so
over the top.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
It was would you compare? Because a lot of people
are saying that this faction is very Evolution and I
kind of got a little taste of Evolution, but I
feel like they're very different. I feel like they're not.
It doesn't feel as like serious as Evolution was, which
I'm like stoked about, Like are you stoked about? Where?
Do you even have a name yet? This is the faction.
I don't think they haven't.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I don't think there's a name.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I'm definitely more excited about it now than I was
when it first started.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yea, after that promo that really sold me on, like okay, yeah,
let's wait and see.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
And I think it helps because Seth is very.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Comical, right, He's a big you know, he's.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
A very joker personality.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Yeah, so I think that helps a lot with it
and separate it from Evolution because Evolution was triple h Batista.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Rick Flair, our favorite Randy Orton.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I mean, Evolution was definitely a sexier group minus Rick Flair.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Well, depending on the person. You know, some people, you
know what I mean, they're into alligators, so.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
You know, I think two things to make me more
into this faction. If we can get Bronze and Reed
to change his singlet to more like bron Breakers, where
it's like the legs go down a little bit because
it's just the cut, just the straight up shot. You know,
he's kind of a bigger guy, and I mean, like
just it doesn't look as tough. It just it gives
(16:38):
very big baby energy to me. And I'm just like,
just have like the shorts going down like the kurd
angle like kind of singlet.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
And second thing, if we could.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Tone down bron Breakers Tanner, Oh, that man just is
bronzing entirely, very sure dark.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
He's a very dark Steiner, very looks like.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
A Doomba from Super Mario Brothers.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Would not want to hit him with the hammer.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
He will bite you and bark at you wholeheartedly. But yeah,
he's he's very much more like Bronze Breaker. I mean
he is very very copper looking. And so I think
tone that down, swaps singlets, and then I'm all on board.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I mean, Paul Hayman does anything.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I'd listen to him, read the yellow Pages honestly, Like
I mean.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I'm going to nominate the group to be called the Haymans.
I love or Seth in the Rawlins, but let's give
Paul the Hamans. They're all men like men. Bronson Reed
can pick up hay I feel like he see his
whole legs while he's doing it. Just there you go,
(17:47):
Paul in.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
The Haman's that's great. We did have a funny moment
this morning with our son because we were putting away
laundry and he grabbed one of her bras, sports bras,
and he's like putting around his head and I'm like,
you know, want that's mommy's bra.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
You can't do that.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
And then he's like broad Breaker, there you go, hilarious kid, Okay,
you can.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
You can wear that. That's fine. Sparked at you for
an hour, and some people are mad that brin Breaker
was like, uh barking.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
There's like, oh, he just barks like a dog, And
I'm just like, do you not know who his father was?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
His whole career, he could either do barking or bad math. Alright,
you have to choose which one. Fine with the barking, yeah,
pick a lane? All right? What else you got?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
We also, unfortunately discovered at least this version of El
Grande Americano is not Corey Graves.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
It's not because they were in the same place. That
was her theory was Corey Graves and Olgrando Americano have
not been in the same place at the same time.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Boots that he had to borrow the.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Boots said CGG on it, and.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
So I wanted to believe it was Corey Graves and
it was not because the bond breaker your tanner all
over the time.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Well there was some tanner happening because yeah, El Grande
Americana wrestled on raw and it was definitely not Chad
Gable instead. Uh, yeah, that was for sure, Kaiser.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
That was he's not doing much.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Nothing but the stance when he walks down.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
We thoroughly enjoyed, especially because of what his what his
character has been up until this point has been very
serious because of Gunther and everything. So to see the
the goofy and silliness come out on Monday night was
very fun.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
There was no one is more American or Mexican than
Woodwig Kaiser, so I feel like that should work out.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I just wonder if we were talking like are they
going to like pass it around? The character is just
gonna at some point everybody's.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Gonna truth becomes like, yeah, Mark Henry, what it was weird?
We haven't seen our truth on TV in a while.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
So, I mean he's down in the Grande Americano.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Yeah, mask and tights man.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
So yeah, I was telling him there could be like
a point where there's so many different people that have
played him that it becomes like a money in the
bank match, but the mask is up there and they
have to climb up the ladder and.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Try And is the move set that you saw on
raw a Chad Gable? Was he doing Chad Gably olympi
e stuff or was he doing more like Ludwig Kaiser
just in a mask.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I mean it was kind of like he was trying
to do lootally right type stuff. A few flips where
he land on.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
His feet, one from the top rope where he grabbed
him and went back.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Yeah, that was good.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
So I mean, but he did stuff the mask and
go with the head butt. You know, that's that's very
much so the l Grande Americano thing.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
My money is El Grande's pensa. I feel just Peny
just takes off the paint, puts another mask.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Him without the mask and everything.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
He actually he looks he has kind of a baby face,
which is wild. You are probably the toughest scariest guy
on the roster right now without the mask.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Like, yeah, well there was somebody because I think it
was like he pulled his rental car up.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Oh and so he was getting out and did the thing,
and somebody was like, well, don't like completely break k
fab and he's like, he can't drive in that mask, y'all.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Ray Mystereo does.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Ray Mysterio wears that mask all the time, like he
is constantly wearing.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Because in w c W he he lost it early.
He just found out like that it came out. We're like, oh,
that's what I was thinking. Like, no, he like showed everyone.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I think he was in the movie Ready to Rumble
without the mask. Interesting, So yeah, like I remember that
movie and like the year two thousand or something like that,
like right before they had to sell they were hoping
that having a movie with put.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Him back on the mask.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, and it did not do that. So yeah, the
whole mask thing with Ray is still interesting. But he
definitely looks different now. So this next one, David, right, this.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
One, I need my phone board, So there was a
lot of Adam Pierce.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
There was great guy, great haircut, and it.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Was I mean, I guess, are we still calling them
New Day if it's just Koffee.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
And Xavier like the Bude.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
But they were grieving and so they weren't all black
with flowers because they lost the belts.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
So they were grieving.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
But in that shot, Becky Lynch walks by and like
talks shit about Adam Pierce and then like goes up
to Koffee and Xavier and it's like, you know, one.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Of the best things you guys did was get rid
of Biggie. And then she just kind of like walks off.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Now what I did not know, But when she walks off,
Xavier goes do it Lady, which is a call to Chit,
who is a famous character now on TikTok. And so
that phrase is becoming a thing. And so we heard
that and I was like, hey, it's becoming a thing.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I love that. So all the gen Z wrestling fans
are like, this is great, this is amazing.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yeah for now, So what was fun is what ree's
surfaced on the internet in the past few days because
of Becky taking the shot at Biggie, I want to
say yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
So it looks like this is Back in.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Twenty nineteen on Twitter, Becky posted a picture when she
was two belts with her mom in that Big E
took it upon himself to hit on Becky Lynch's mom.
So there is a back and forth of Mama Lynch's
Hella Foxy. He also said I would take my jacket
(23:39):
off and toss it into a puddle so Mama Lynch
could walk across it. Scratch that, I would lay my
whole body in the puddle so Mama Lynch could walk
across me. And then Becky responded she's married, and then
side note she said to message her burner phone later.
So just a whole bunch of like I would learn
(24:01):
to become a cycling class instructor and offer Mama Lynch
free classes just in hopes of seeing her post workout glisten.
So there's just a whole bunch of these back and
forth from twenty nineteen between Becky and Biggie and him
trying to get at Becky's mom.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I would put money on slash really hope that there
is a suburd out there of just erotic fan fiction
that's only Biggie and Mama Inch like it's gotta be
a novel chat gybt right right.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Right, yeah, yeah right now, Oh my god, it'd be great.
I'd just love to see the cover, just in the
open shirt, just dipping Mama Lynch big eie with a
big e Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
I mean he does so that I would hope so
not very and even else.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I know, I know I wouldn't get so comically large
if that was.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
If that were they came, I say it, I wouldn't
say anything though, Oh you can sue plex eight of me.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
So that was just enjoyable.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I feel like Becky was like taking her shot back
at Biggie.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Like six years later.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
I just saw an article do you ever watch Reno
nine one one? Yeah? So our Ben Garrant, who was
a junior, he was like the glasses one Oh yeah
he did. He wrote Night at the Museum, He wrote
a ton of stuff. Wow. He just he's a new comedy.
I think f X or Fox picked it up, but
it's his project. But Becky List Becky Lynch is in
(25:27):
the cast, so she has comedy chops. Yeah what I mean,
She's very funny, she's very charismatic. I would love yeah,
I feel like, yeah, that's true. You have to yeah,
match those big shoes and big jacket energy. Yeah, absolutely,
so I love that. I love that. Yeah yeah, Okay,
what else not.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Raw, but just a thing that we've discussed and I
know you will probably be passionate about it. I want
to see the Earnest movies come back.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Have John play Ernest.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Oh they kind of if you squint and you and
you close your eyes too, they kind of maybe they
had a similarity.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Side by side means and yes, yes, oh he's just
he's so funny. Oh yeah, no, oh, so so good.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah, his range is insane, Like it's come a long.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Way, it really has. But I mean, yeah, he's so
so funny. Yeah, And I.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Mean I feel like early on he was taking like
in train Wreck that.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
One sneakers, very very.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Very funny, and so his improp chops are great. But yeah,
that's been a meme that's been shared. It's just like
a side by side of him and Earnest because they're like, oh,
he's kind of agent to where he's very Jim Varney esque.
And I'm a massive Earnest fan from the nineties and eighties,
and so yeah, I think that would be great. Just
John Cena like, hey, Vern, you know, like that would
(26:56):
be great.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
I feel like he's so musty. But then Batista was
also super and he slimmed down like crazy, and he
looks like a regular because he was like, oh, I
want to like get more rolls. They aren't just so
imagine seeing in a year post retirement he just like
looks like a regular dude loses the mass. He could
totally be like.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
A fantastic we want to start.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I would love that, just see just seeing it on
a ladder with a hat on and a vest talking
about buttermilk. I remember that being a thing part of
Ernest is just like he was doing commercials for buttermilk.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
It's so strange, but that would be fantastic. I would
love that petition he drank it.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Grandpa drank buttermilk and like it was like a thing
thing like and he would like out of the fridge
and now like knowing everything about buttermilk.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Eye, I have ibs. I feel like I look at
like a drop of ice cream and I'm like, God,
if I drank buttermilk, I would be dead for four
days and then come back to life, just fully cleansed.
Fully cleansed.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Maybe that's the trick.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
I think, just eat a ton dairy and then just
never leave the toilet. Right, it was all the way exactly.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Last one I have in my list before we get
back to questions, Uh, did you watch the Randy Orton
interview on Stephanie McMahon's podcast.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
It's it's a cute up and so I drove up
from Anaheim. It's like a six hour drive to be here.
I'm on up to Oregon and that is queued up
in my YouTube downloads.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Oh okay, so listen, listen.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
It's very it's they talk about such real ship and
they do so excited.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Told like, it's not let's talk about it. That's the
cody 's Cody you want to talk about tell me
your story. Yeah that sounds about right. Yeah cool.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
And so yeah, they talked for like a good hour
and a half. I want to say it was a
long podcast.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
But he choked up, man, he did.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
He teared up a couple of times when he was
like talking about like his mental health, mental health, Like
he was talking about being I think it was so
important because he talked about being insecure and getting in
his head and like having panic attacks about like if
he could still keep doing this and like so he
just started getting in his head and like having trouble
(29:08):
sleeping and all this stuff. And he struggled with that
for years and he was on medication for it and everything.
And just I looked at her and I'm like, you
can't escape it, Like we romanticize that, ah man, When
I get the status and the money and everything, everything's great,
how could it not be?
Speaker 4 (29:29):
And it's just like, nah, man, you're just gonna have
new Keeping that up becomes the new.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Stress of just like public persona, are you able to
deliver that quality every time? Which is not realistic? And
so like it was really important to see for me
and I think other guys who struggle with anxiety and
such issues and things like that, to be able to
see Randy Orton get emotional about having panic attacks and
(29:58):
everything like that, and I'm just like, oh, man, I mean,
if it's him and he can't escape it, you've really
got to just enjoy the moment as best as you can, man,
because you're there's always gonna be you know, different problems
and different things that you're always facing. So that was
important talking about his kids and you know, being a
dad and everyally.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
And how far like he's come, like as a person,
you know, because he's I feel like he's been very
open about his growth as a person. Yeah, you know,
him being an asshole in the past, and you know
he was saying, like wrestlers always bring up like stories
of shit he did, and so I think it was
cool to like see how much growth he's had in
(30:40):
in everything and he been eaten.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
So he has been eaten. I love an arc, you
know what I mean. I like he could be someone
who's like really charming and cool, but there's almost beings
more powerful where like oh you were huge, juice bag,
you were horrible, your an asshole, and you came around
and you're like, oh, here's here's how I can be
a better person. It's almost like more Well, we talked
about like kind of the correlations with like comedy and rest,
you know how they're kind of somewhere earlier. But in
a weird way. I feel like if I were to
(31:04):
have like a great weekend and every show is great,
and that that high becomes my norm, it's hard to
kind of like regular life is weird because you're in
such a high. All the time, And I feel like
wrestling is that times X amount because think about it,
like three times four times a week you have thousands
of people arena just cheering for you. Yeah, how do
(31:26):
you like go to the grocery store and get the
same like ooh, adrenaline rushia. They have it with pulp,
now you know what I mean? Like it's hard to
like little things are harder to get you that little
like whoo. And I can only imagine being a Rain
the Orton level of fame and dealing with that and
getting all that praise and act and that's just your
life and that becomes your baseline and then just everyone
else's baseline is here. Like it's a it's a wild
(31:47):
thing to consider like people in that in that light.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, well I think that was even what were we
listening to that Sena was on and we were finding
out like Sena goes to the barber and he waits
if somebody's in the chair, and he just sits there
and waits his turn and like still does like normal
person shit, he doesn't walk around with security and so yeah,
I think that's that's part of trying to keep your
(32:10):
feet grounded when you have all of that going.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
On, but niversally, he also talked about something that I
think is similar to what you just touched on, which
is like if you're reaching new highs and that becomes
your new ceiling, like everything down below kind of becomes this, like, oh, well,
how do I find the joy in that?
Speaker 4 (32:29):
If this is the new high?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
You're always chasing that and you can't live up there,
that's insane. And so, but Sena had talked about like
because they asked him like, when was the last time
like you like bombed and like doing a thing where
you felt like it wasn't good, And so the threshold
for bombing for him was just like, oh he's like
a couple of weeks ago and Lexington, Kentucky. And mind you,
(32:51):
this was a promo he cut on SmackDown where she
messaged me and was like, cause I was I think
it was on the road. Yeah, I was at a
show and she it was just like the promo that's
seeing it just cut may have been the best I've
ever seen him cut. And he was referring to that
promo as a bomb for him, and he's just like
at a crowd wasn't into it.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
They couldn't wait for it to be over. They were
booming me.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
I know I'm a heel, but still like they just
weren't that. I thought it was gonna go over better
and it didn't, you know, and so I I consider
that a horrible bomb. And we're just like, man, So like,
the more you climb up the ladder, your your definition
of what falling short, what bombing is like. It's like
(33:33):
with comedy where it's like.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
The better you get a bomb is like you get
a room.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Full of smilers, like they're having as much fun as
they possibly can for you, though you know the bar
you usually clear, and that's something you gotta be like, Ah,
I bombed on that one. That wasn't good, But for them,
it was the best show they've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
They loved that. That's the most annoying thing though. You
stand at the end of your show at your merch
table trying to sell a lighter or shirt and be like,
no one is gonna no one's gonna up to me.
They hated me. Everyone comes to you, Oh, that was
the best show we've seen ever. It was great. It's like,
why was it silent up there? Ye? Silent there for
forty seven minutes and eight seconds, but you Yeah, people
react in different ways. And I think it's really interesting
(34:12):
because if you are if you're a wrestler and you're
you're living that high all the time, I feel like
you almost like where how your whole job is connecting?
But you're so disconnected, you know what I mean? What's
how do you find those go to the barber or whatever?
Like how do you find those normal? Just like how
can I stay grounded? I don't know how to stay
(34:34):
grounded when you're doing you know, four shows a night
for ten thousand people in a room. Yes, Like, oh god,
that sounds well.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
I think we've talked about that in comedy too, and
like we've told other comics like keep going and doing things,
because you do get to a point where we see
that in comedy with the higher name, with like the
bigger names, that now there's that point of disconnect of
what they're trying to talk.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
To people about because they've they're too big and nobody.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
You can't relate.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yeah, you can't even late.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
I don't think we're gonna meet him. So I feel
I can like share this story and not get heat
or aading for it. I lucked into doing I was
at a show in New York and Seinfeld came in.
It was a Tuesday, and I think he was running
a set. This was years ago. It was one of
the last Letterman tapings, which was on a Thursday, and
I don't All four of us went up and we
(35:22):
all ate shit, We did horrible. He goes up five minutes,
says nothing standing ovation I was going to the store,
applause break this boom boom, boom, boom boom. I saw
he probably, like, I don't know, twenty minutes. His first
six or so was the Letterman stuff. I saw him
on Letterman and it kind of hit. It wasn't bad,
but it wasn't the roar of the club. And I
(35:43):
thought to myself, like, how do you know when a
bit works? Because every time you go up, you just
get this wave of like do you even know? And
it's almost a horrifying feeling to be like, I would
love to make millions of dollars and be at a
signful level, but also there's a fear of like, if
I ever get to a certain level, will I not
be able to read a crowd anymore? Yeah, Because I'm
just kidding, and it's it's insane to think about that.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
I think, what do we watch?
Speaker 3 (36:07):
We watched Sarah Silverman's UH special and she got a
standing O coming out.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Yeah, and we.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Were even saying like, well, now you have to.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Leave on that or better yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
When she said that, Yeah, she's just like, okay, you
started with that, and so anything short of that now
is going to be like a personal slide against me
as a human being to my core, like I need
that energy coming out. But to your point, yeah, that's
that's very real.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
How do you know how to? I think Bill Burr.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Said at once, He's like there's something that's why he
still goes.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
To open mics to try stuff out.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
He's like, there's something to be said about having to
get them, and like, if a crowd doesn't give a
shit about who you are, you got to get them.
You got to convince them that you are funny and
and that your stuff is universal, and that you're gonna
be able to take them on those ride and you
got to quiet their minds.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
Man.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
And so there something to be said about getting him.
And that's why Burstil hits Olpa mics.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
He's like, I gotta go someplace where nobody knows or
cares who I am.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
So that way I can try and run stuff and
see if it's really funny, because my fans are just
gonna laugh all the time at whatever it is I'm saying.
And that, Yeah, that's a that's a wild thing to
like the comedy version of Yes Man.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
I would recommend to mister William Burg go out and
buy an Elgande Americano mask, do some dropping sets. No
one's gonna know, no one's gonna know the spray tan
and it will be wonderful.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
What you have to do that is that is the
last thing with the Randy Orton interview that we talked
about is like he doesn't know how attractive he is.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
He has no idea is he You don't think he's attractive?
Speaker 4 (37:46):
You know what I can I can be fine saying
this man's a good looking guy. This guy's a handsome guy.
He looks very just like mean, you know what I mean.
There's not like a sexy vibe to him. There's like
he just looks. He just looks like I'm just scared.
I think more scared than attracted. Randy Orton type.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Did you think he was attractive like in his younger days?
Speaker 2 (38:07):
When he was thinner, like.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
Maybe I feel like I've always I think there are
certain guys where you look at him and you're like, oh,
handsome dude. And there's some guys you look at him
you just don't get that read immediately, you know what
I mean. Same thing with like women too. I feel like,
you know, I can look at me like, oh, you're
conventionally an attractive person, you know what I mean? With him,
I just that never struck me when I when I
looked at.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Him interesting, interesting, yeah, because I mean there was like
twink Orton versus now like.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Daddy, I can see that. Yeah. Same with the mac
and Tire. He has that same kind of thing. He
used to be like a skinny, like handsome boy.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
I think he looks so much hotter now. He was
hand picked.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
It's the sword, that's what.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
It's the boy and also the sword big you know
I'm talking about that, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
So yeah, I know Randy Orton and his dad area
I think, oh yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
On top of looks like there was something sexy about
that podcast where like a grown man knows what Gee
is like to like Gee over butter and he's like
and now I train.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
The way my body's opposed to it.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
I'm like, oh yeah, everything about it.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
At least got to see twin Cortons.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
But at one point he did, that's right, yes, So
it was man, it was saving.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
For the Patreon, all right. That stfore cell.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Phones before cell phones, and me and my parents went
and at the time, me and my mom were I mean,
I'm still a super fan, but we were Stocker fan
and we and at the time, you knew where the
wrestlers would park their rental cars when they went in,
and so me every time me and my family would go,
we leave during the last match and you'd go hang
(40:01):
out where the rental cars were, and there.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Was already like a group of people. So it wasn't
just us this.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
For like musicals and knew it for like professional fighting.
I was like.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Different execution, and I mean we got to see that
at night.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
I think we met like Lillian Garcia Caine, like a
couple other ones. But and so Randy was bringing his
luggage out and he was trying to get it.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
To fit in the trunk and close the trunk, and
the trunk when it closed.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
It's a metaphor or talk about the actual.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Car car trunk and he couldn't get it to close,
and so the whole the crowd is like laughing and
giving him ship, especially because he was a heel at
the time and like he actually was an asshole, and
so everybody was giving him ship. And he got so
frustrated at like us and the trunk and the whole situation.
(40:48):
He turned around, flipped us off, mooned us, put it
in the backseat of the car, and trove.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
It's more of a reward, I feel like, more of
a hook up. That's a good story. Get out of that. Yeah,
I want you did the right move, Randy r Kala
grandmother and walk away, don't show a button.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
I feel like, yeah, that's a reward for everybody at
that point. That's the opposite of a hand flip.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
So, but that was before phone, so like, you know,
it's just up here.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah, you know how long his crack is?
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Yeah, at the time. Now there's you know, more mean,
there's a lot.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
More meat on it.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Yeah, very very different connected to those games. So a
couple of final questions that will will fire your way
most underrated wrestler of all time in your opinion.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
I was thinking about this question very deeply two names
that are a little more low key but throughout to
do you have some Jack Evans. For a while I
was I worked for Luca Underground and I was a
big Lucha Underground fan. He was there, he was an
a w from it. The guy was a what the
what do the kids do? The toddler's tumbling gymnastic, gymnastics gymnastic.
(41:58):
So like I remember working for know who just be
standing there in like one of those like rope things,
just like twirling, twisting, wild guy. If you every chance,
lookup Jack Evans. But another one who I feel is
a little more WB vibes Akira t Zawa. I was
a big fan of the Cruiserweight Classic. I think that's
my favorite chunk of wrestling thing. And I didn't think
(42:20):
he was gonna win, but I thought he was incredible
in it, and that's cool. You don't have an otice
or buddies. And he does a little dance, But that
guy is a phenomenal wrestlers, very very punchy. What's it called?
Lot of things are poppy a Kira Tazawa.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
So he's not getting utilized the way he should.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
I think he's a perfect blend of a snappy I guess,
and that Japanese tough vibes, and to think of someone
who's almost you know, in that same like aura of
like a Shinsky Nakamura or like just like a straw
heavy hitter not do that. For the past few years
in WWE, I feel like it's it's it's he's underrated.
You can you have a you have a vicious man
(42:59):
on your hands.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Didn't they cut Otis?
Speaker 4 (43:01):
They cut so sad.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
I wanted I wanted him to get a push so
bad because.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
Money in the pang they did nothing with that. I
was like, this is going to be his time, and
it wasn't. I was so disappointed.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
But like, yeah, so I don't even know that he's
going to get the push because Otis is gone.
Speaker 4 (43:16):
I I can bring it out. It's right over there.
I brought a couple of shirts for this trip, and
I was like, oh, we got the resting ones for
this one. I have a heavy machinery shirt the other room. Yeah.
Otis and Tucker they always been a big Otis fan.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Yeah, man, love me some Otis absolutely.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
I think. Let me a caterpillar.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Yeah yeah, a lot of range, like can put on
a good match, nibble on his feet for a big guy,
but also very funny.
Speaker 4 (43:39):
Have a great love story, romantic exactly. Man.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
So okay, all right, those are solid.
Speaker 4 (43:46):
Most underrated match, Most underrated match. I'm a big Seawn
Michaels fan. I got Shawn Michaels on my leg. Yeah,
that's amazing. When he came back. I think it was
two thousand to Summer Slam him versus Triple H. That
was the first match where I felt like I could
like physically suspend my disbelief because his whole thing was
(44:08):
get a back injury. Walking into it. Triple H was
like trying to reinjure the back. And I think it's
one of those like people talk about, like, you know,
the great Shawn Michaels matches him and Taker, him and
Taker two, him and Stone Cold. But I think him
Triple H Summer Slam, I think that's even better than
their They're just I think it's great, it's wonderful, and
no one really puts it up there with stuff.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
So I agree. I mean, I think that was a
very underrated match because, yeah, he was coming back from
the back injury.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
Nobody was gonna happen. It was a street fight.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Yeah, so I mean the things that he did. I
think he did that moon salt onto the table, did
he not?
Speaker 4 (44:41):
Like yeah, that was every backbreaker he would get felt real.
He looks so stiff and you're like this guy is
like actually injured, you know what I mean, Like why
are you doing?
Speaker 1 (44:50):
Back is actually messed.
Speaker 4 (44:51):
Up and it like made me like tense up. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:54):
I think Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle at WrestleMania, that
match they was that, oh yeah, underrated because the first
like ten minutes is just chain wrestling. It's just him
like putting Angle and all his shoulder lock, headlock, wristlock
like and all these flips, and there's like a moment
(45:14):
where like angles in the headlock and he's just like hits.
Speaker 4 (45:18):
The mat because he's so frustrated.
Speaker 1 (45:19):
He's like damn it, like and I'm just like this
is brilliant, Like just from a you don't expect Sean
Michaels to have this type of match against Kurt Angle.
And then the build from the rest of the match
on was just like traditional like okay, big spot wrestling,
and the way that he sold everything like oh yeah,
I think Sean Michaels is the greatest of all time,
(45:39):
but I mean, like is yeah, man, I mean I think, yeah,
if you put that one on there, and.
Speaker 4 (45:44):
Then also, uh, the one with him, every match he
has is great, you know what I mean. I would
even put him in Hulk Coogan.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
And My Time, right, I know, it was a fun
little ballot exactly, I mean, and I mean the retirement
match that Rick Flair should have gone out on, which
was beautifully I love you, that would ah, I'm sorry,
I love you and just and then the oh my.
Speaker 2 (46:07):
God, Rick is not going to get better than that,
and he should have out.
Speaker 4 (46:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
No, every retirement match since then was not as good
as that.
Speaker 4 (46:16):
Like, so I think every Shawn Michael's match pre Crown
Jewel is in my top twenty, you know what I mean,
any match with him like him and a dank at
number seven, number seventeen and a half, like yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
That Crown Jewel, that was a that was just a
cluster of all the worst things.
Speaker 4 (46:33):
But even he's shown in that even he got a
moon salty outside it and looks you know, not half bad. Yeah,
that's he's so good. Also, just every Royal rumble everyone
gives WrestleMania. The I'm like, no, the Royal Rumble is
the number one thing I look forward to every year.
Give it more credit to make that the new big thing.
The Royal Rumble was like the number one thing in
(46:54):
rustle I don't know how that would work out, but
I love a good Royal Rumble.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Well it's hard because like the winner of the Rumble
gets to go on to WrestleMania to come hate and
so that's the thing that I think.
Speaker 4 (47:05):
Will always have it be like the second at all.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
You know, it's always going to be that spot, I think,
because that's the reward is you get to go to WrestleMania.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
Dude, I've never been to a real rumble.
Speaker 3 (47:15):
Do you know, do they like do like how they
do like a WrestleMania Access week, Like do they do
that for a Royal Rumble or I.
Speaker 4 (47:21):
Would imagine show. I feel like it's such a big
event that all like like we know it's the best,
and then WrestleMania is like the more commercial like oh,
you're a civilian noist. I mean, I don't know. I
feel like if they don't there's a lot of money
to be made with like some type of convention or
some type of like I don't know, Super WrestleMania store.
Just that'd be great.
Speaker 3 (47:42):
I think the hardest part would probably be if you
did that with a Royal Rumble and they have like
any people coming back that are trying to be secret.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
You don't want ex tries on the town.
Speaker 1 (47:52):
Because that's the biggest thing is the surprise entrance.
Speaker 4 (47:56):
Have the Royal Roumbo kick it off, so you have
those surprises. We're after WrestleMania and the down post and
then yeah, like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, have like a big thing,
throwing an NXT thing, throwing a throwing, a evolved throwing
enough whole thing, you know what I mean, into something
and then yeah, just with SmackDown.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Yeah, yeah, I like that.
Speaker 4 (48:14):
I think that makes sense. That makes sense. I'll take
ten percent of the royalty on that idea. WW the
creative please or tickets will also happlely.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
Yeah, we'll always take tickets.
Speaker 4 (48:24):
I'll take a signed sock, all right, just send me.
I was in there, mister man. I will say we
were kind of I got some questions before, like, oh yeah,
I would say one of the things that also got
me back into wrestling. I was thinking about it. Do
you remember the promo when Mankind was going to face
(48:45):
Triple H and he's like, oh, Triple H, you beat
me so much so I can't face you, but you
know who you can first. I think that's a friend
you now that I think that also like really solidified
my love for it. I just want Probably thre or
four days ago, there was a great promo that was brilliant,
like the.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
Way he just laid it out of just like the
corporate Mankind just all beaten up and like down in
the mouth. But then also Triple Ah selling like the
horror of like oh no, no, anybody but anybody but
you in a flannel.
Speaker 4 (49:21):
Literally crude love, dude, love, I don't know how you're
gonna face Here's a blue blood. He has money now.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
So so yeah, like that hole, that whole promo was
absolutely fantastic. So yeah, because that was the whole thing
with like him being his cactus shack.
Speaker 4 (49:49):
It's like he's probably.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
Not gonna win, like, but you're gonna leave that match
a different human being because that's like you're gonna earn
that when that you're gonna get, but he's you're gonna
get close to dying, like You're gonna lose a lot
of blood in that match.
Speaker 4 (50:08):
And so yeah, Mankind's whole bit was like you just
take it, you know what I mean, just takes so much,
but in a weird way pre w W, E E
c W or whatever, you know what I mean. Characters Jack,
he took it, but he also gave it. It was
so interesting to be like, oh my god, this whole
character you have of Mankind, that's this whole bit, but
you just whoop, Oh my god. Now he's the one
who gives that. Yes, that's beautiful and do love kind
(50:31):
of just didn't do much, but we all have great
answer answer.
Speaker 1 (50:34):
Yeah, absolutely, great tag partner.
Speaker 4 (50:36):
Great tag partner. Yeah, you want to fire off the
last question?
Speaker 2 (50:39):
Yeah, last one.
Speaker 3 (50:39):
So if you could make up your own like wrestling
persona and name, what would it be.
Speaker 4 (50:46):
I used to train to be a wrestler. I used
to do some wrestling stuff, so I kind of have
an answer. Oh yeah, I mean it's great, but it's
it's something I've done before. I used to be a
Mexicpino noir. My whole bit for stuff is Mexpo, have Mexican,
that Filipino, Mexicpano Noir would come to the ring in
which were a mask, no mouth, so what a nose
and eyes, but I would drink pino noir sounds like,
(51:10):
and I do a fake triple H thing and it
was fun, but it didn't work out well. My finishing
move was a rip chord poked to the eye, so
I would grab your arm, just like Seth used to
do with the knee, only instead of a knee, you
got your I poked. Wow, never won, but you know
it was never win, not the I poke that got whatever.
(51:32):
It was the ripcord, the really guy, I'm busy. Oh,
there's a wonderful show called the Kevin Lang Show and
they had to rest their episode and I actually got
to do it. Or I did the rip chord. I
poke on a guy and he sold it so great,
and I was like, man, this feels so good because
usual an ipokes like oh would you? But this guy
(51:52):
fell on the floor. He was flailing, and I'm like,
this is the peak of my wrestling existence can go
back from this?
Speaker 3 (51:57):
I mean, I think we should try and figure out
how to at least get you like a wine label made, yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
And like you in the mask and everything.
Speaker 1 (52:04):
Absolutely, I would drink a mexicpano no wir.
Speaker 4 (52:07):
Yeah, it's a two buck chuck, just with a sticky
note on it.
Speaker 2 (52:11):
The bella's got there speakeasy, and so we'll just.
Speaker 4 (52:18):
Mine's more of a Tilaari brand, all right, No disrespect
to them, but yeah, I mean not as not as upscale.
I also used to have a fanny pack or I
would put a fake brick in it and I would
do like a like a championship belt, hit the brick inside.
More fanny packs in wrestling. That's what I say. It's
a good merchable item. Yes, yeah, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (52:36):
It was going back to the Randy Orton thing. He
was talking about how he carries a bag.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
He carries a bag, and the way he was describing
the things he puts in a bag. I'm like, that's
a purse.
Speaker 2 (52:46):
My guy's always prepared.
Speaker 4 (52:48):
Always prepared. Over my shoulder. It's very nice. Mine stole
saga bana. But you know what, there's a variety of
a d can y one.
Speaker 1 (52:57):
Backup guess as in guess what's in the bag.
Speaker 4 (53:00):
Yeah, it's my lipstick, his chapstick. He did say it
is a lipstick. It is hardly Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (53:09):
We need to get your wine label going sounds.
Speaker 4 (53:12):
Good next to shop around some brands.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
It's kind of fun. I don't know if my belly's
eating this, but like wearing this shirt.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Pregnants like I'm your Poppy shirt has me feeling some
type of wa.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I was, like, it's kind of cool because it's like
right over where our daughter is resting.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Like well, and just the confusion of like, but you're
pregnant and you're a poppy.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, oh yeah, you are a poppy. I need to
get the I'm mommy you do? Sure that needs to
happen too, because I've got the riar ripley one. So
but no, we are very excited today, as we are
every day we get to record this podcast. Man, we've
got a very special guest. He's a hilarious comedian who
travels all around telling hilarious yuck yucks and and laugh
(00:51):
them ups. I want you to give it up for
my good friend, Eric Escobar.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yes, happy to be here, not Miles wife, but I
do love wrestling. This is very exciting. One out of
two boom you got a belt on. I got a
belt on I got I'm very pink today. I was
very pink today, but today's a pink day. It is
a pink hat. Got this pink comedy belt. I used
to in an open mic where we had a belt
for the best joke of the night. Oh wow, it's
(01:17):
a fun thing. And then every comic would sign it.
And after about a year of an open mic, it
just got very beer stained and gross. So this is
the new belt. Nice, the upgrade. It's wonderful. I love
it every opportunity. Let's wear it. You got your.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Face on the little plates on the side.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
I do, I do. So if it gets stolen, it
can only be stolen by bearded, bald but suited men
who are maybe wearing a Filipino flag in the back.
That's the rule.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Which are the people who tend to steal title belts?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
That was most of the open mic. Actually, ye great.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
If you like make it where you can have a belt,
people will do just about anything. Like I was in
a league for beer pong, and partially only because you
got to have tidle belts. Like if you it of like,
I want a belt, so go a long way.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I love it. I was on a little show called
it you have mister Beast. You guys got so we
had a show called Beast Games. That's me on it
And I got this belt and I put his logo
on it, and I was like, I'm going to breathe show.
I think it got me on the show. So now
every audition I do I utilize this belt, I'll be like, oh,
price is right, prices right, price is right, Champion, can
(02:26):
I need the brilliant brilliant?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Well, you are also on I can see your voice.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
My voice, your voices the voice show we were. It
was really fun. It was great spoiler alert. I was
a bad singer and it was fun because they had
to train you through like vocal training and coaching on
how to be bad. It'd be like, oh, like, pretend
to sing this song. You're too on ritten too good,
or your your your tone is too nice because.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
They need you to like ham up the being badness.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Yeah. I thought I was gonna horrible singer, But I
don't know. The half Filipino jeans like they were coming
through somewhere in my soul.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Those magic mics in the back of the car, you know,
just put that done.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
My song good Filipino accidents could be my poppy. Maybe
maybe he is the husband I am the one. We'll say,
we'll see.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
We did want to ask you, just off the top,
like when did you fall in love with wrestling?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Man? I fell in love with wrestling twice. The first
time I had a crush on this girl in my
class in fifth grade who was in love with China.
She was a big China person and a big lead
a person Leada and the Hardy Boys because she loved
like the you know, the women wrestlers and everything. So
I started watching wrestling to impress her and have something
to talk about. And then I stopped having a crush
(03:46):
on her and then developed a crush on China and
Lida Yeah, And I was like, oh, this is great.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
No part was a red flag of like a girl
has a crush on another girl and you're like, I'm
gonna try and mess shoot.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Your shot three time, Sam Muzaine does any opportunity, got
halluva kick it in the face. That's what I said.
That's what I say, So I got. I was into
it for a long time and then there around high
school I kind of fell out ruthless aggression. I kind
of fell out, which is weird because I was never
a big Orton fan or Sena fan. They're great, but
I just it was when I whoop, it's as doubt
(04:20):
and then I would say around twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen,
I'm from LA. I have a buddy who took me
to p w G. I don't know if you guys
are for fans of Oh yeah, I heard yeah, and
it was wild. I look back at the card that
I saw and it was a It was an event
called Black Cole Sun. I think it was god. The
whole event was wild. It was like Adam Cole, uh, Cedric, Alexander,
(04:41):
Chuck Taylor, Oh my, Christopher Daniels, Ricochet. It was crazy
that this wild match at the end where I think
it was, Oh, it was Ricochet versus Kyle O'Reilly for
the championship, but originally it was supposed to be Roderick
Strong versus I think Kyle O'Reilly. So they're like, hey,
Roderick's strong. He couldn't make it, but we have a
(05:03):
great person. It's Ricochet. Everyone popped. It's great. Ricochet. Kylie Riley,
great match, Kyler Riley, wins. I don't know where the
lights go off comes back on. He's there. I just
said his name backbreaker. Uh, roder Strunk is there. He's like,
just kidding, I didn't miss my flight. Let's have a match.
And I'm like, only in indie wrestling, can you be like, Oh,
(05:24):
I skipped my flight, just kidding. I made my flight.
I'm like, this is the best Little Veterans Hall I've
ever been in. It was great.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
These are so fun.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
It was such a different When we lived in Vegas,
we went to f s W a couple of times,
and it was when Carrie and Cross was right.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Before he signed with like a few weeks before. And
then also m v P m VP and that was
more of a thriller, but you got th scary MVP.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
So but it's it's such a different invite, like because
it's so close quarters. Yeah, there's so much shit talking
because the wrestlers can hear you, and oh, it's so
much fun.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Well, we brought our friend Chelsea Bears and when she
found out that heckling was permitted, she's like, oh, this
is the best. And I'm just like, oh, yeah, they're
right there, man. I'm like, yeah, talk shitah.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
It's amazing. When I was living I used to live
in Occidental sort of by Santa Rosa, by Santa Espal
and we would drive down to hood Slam while and
you would be you would be smoking a joint and
then give it to a wrestler and then match. They
would smoke the d in the past, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Like, what.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Wild like the amount of just like I don't know.
I think a big part of comedy that I love
so much is the community and the connection and the
and I feel like wrestling is almost that times a million.
The community, the we're on the same page. Noss that. Oh,
it's it's it's beautiful. The only difference between comics and
wrestlers is I have a bad set. I cry, I
have a bad set. They no longer have an arm
(06:56):
you know what I mean, Bigger steaks.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, well, I think that that's part of the cool thing,
even like when they're doing like Summer Slam or WrestleMania,
like the whole week leading up to it, and even
when we went to WrestleMania this year, we like joined
a whole bunch of Facebook WrestleMania group. Yes, cool, just
to like also see like where people are at and
what people are doing, who's selling what? But yeah, just
that sense of community, even in just the groups is
(07:22):
so dope.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Absolutely. Yeah, it's a very tiny, nited community. You say,
who's selling what? Are you guys? Collectors of a specific thing?
Are you guys like people like belt people.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
We really wanted the chair, the two chair, partially for
me and partially for our son because when I was
pregnant with our son, I went to SummerSlam in Las
Vegas where it was Roman Reigns and John Cena and
we have that chair.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
He got it for me for.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
I sit on their face.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Some people got to pay for that, John Cena and
Roman Reigns.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
I'm just like, all right, let's go boy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
And so our son was like he's understanding that now
that's an option, and so he was like, oh, can
I get like a Sena and Cody Rhads chair?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And it's like it's not that easy.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Yeah, And so I mean we were hoping that like
maybe somebody didn't want to check it and fly back
with it, and like they'd just be.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Like yeah, But now it's like a whole process to
be able to get that chair out of this stadium.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
You have to have like a certain color wristband. Like
if somebody tries to sell you it while you're still
in the stadium, unless you have that wristband, security.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Is not going to let you walk out with it.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah, yeah, I'll stop.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
We saw people getting stopped there. It's like you don't
have the wristband, so you can't take that out.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
And those risk people made like a thousand dollars a
chair and.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Gone sell Yeah yeah, yeah man. So it's a whole
process now to get those chairs.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
So we'll keep our eyes out on the internet or
anybody out.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
There listening or watching it. We got that WrestleMania forty
one John Cena and Cody Rhoads chair.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Our son would really like I just have obscure like
stuff like I have a cardboard cutout of John Cena.
That's probably how old and I'm turning thirty six, so
that thing's probably almost twenty years old.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, I don't sign it at like mall right.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah he it was when the movie Twelve Rounds came
out and he was doing an autograph signing at the
mall when like video stores were still a thing.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
That's great, and so I guess I.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Brought the cardboard cutout with me, and man, it was
a battle because I didn't I'm dumb at the time.
I didn't know how long that line was going to be.
And another risk band thing. You had to have the
wristband and you had to have the DVD for him
to sign. The movie stores were out. My ex was
an angel at the time and went across to like
(09:44):
I don't know if it was Circuit City or something,
and just bought the DVD there and I stayed in
line with the cardboard cutout the whole time. And then
as I got closer to the front of the line,
this couple was walking off and we did the whole
slide the risk and onto my hand because I let
them take a picture with the Cena cardboard cutout.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Because that was the thing.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
And so my ex's wristband broke and mine did it,
and I looked at him, He's like, oh. And so
I got to meet Sena and I.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Put the cardboard cut out so proud of it, and
he just looks up.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
He's like, this is impressive, and I was like thanks,
and he wanted to actually like hear the story of
how I got it, and security was trying to like push.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Me through it, and you were like.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Scena put his hand up to security and was like
I want to finish hearing her story. And so to
this day we still have it. I mean, it's holding
on by your threat. We need to figure out how
to laminate it.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
I feel like Miles like, good, all right, I've had
enough time competing against this sena cutout. I mean that's
been like.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
A staple in our home, our entire relationship. Like back
in the day we had roommates for a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
We would hide it in the house to try and
scare each other, Like the pantry when you open the door,
he was standing there, or like going up the stairs,
we had it like.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
We tack where he peak is out, or like in
the bathroom we put it behind the door so you
close the door and he's like right there when you
turn the light on. So yeah, no, that's he's been
hopping around our household a lot. When he turned heel though,
we did turn it a little heel turn, Yeah, we did.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Would you would you say you still have the twelve
Rounds DVD that you purchase, because that I feel as
almost just as value.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I wish I did. I wish I did.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
No, I don't have that, just the den Ambrose one,
just exactly just that one.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But I then we should get into your list. So
the list a list of Heather. So tell us what
made the list?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Man? Did you watch Raw this week?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I got the highlights? Okay, highlights, Okay, actually I think helights.
I think I caught a cult to hoolic review, you
know what I mean, like someone doing the highlights of
the highlights of the highlights bare minimum.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
You gotta go back and watch the opening promo with
bron Breaker, Seth Rowlins, Ronson.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Reid, and Paul Hamon.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Paul Hayman goes to hand Seth the mic, yeah, and
bron Breaker grabs.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
It, grabs it from him.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
And just starts talking.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
And he was like, Paul Hayman and Seth Rowlands are
setting it up where I'm going to be the face
of this company for the next two decades. And then
he keeps saying some other stuff. But you're so distracted
because Seth and Paul are behind them, like did.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
You say that?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Did you do That's funny?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
They're really hamming it, Like keep your eyes on Seth
and Paul. The whole time because they're really sticking it
up as much as they can. But then, yeah, Breaker
was just kind of talking about how much he hates
Sammy's ain right, Yeah, I just go to the gym
like I do, and like I hate his face and
I hate his music, and yeah, it was just such
(12:58):
a I was expecting him just like do you hate
him on a boat?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Do you hate him in a moat? Like I do?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Not like Sammy's say and sam I am, but I
mean so yeah, Like it was a very weird promo,
but those two behind him.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
And then we did talk about bron he's talking more
now than he normally does.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Well, I think him just saying is him talking more? Yeah,
kind of like low key in the group.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
His voice is so sexy and we were talking about it.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
If he was on Love Is Blind, those contestants would
be furious.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
He pulls it apart, splashes through it. I love you.
I don't think i've heard him speak. Is it like
a because I'm trying to picture. Is it like a
smooth jazz like deep or.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Is it like English or something Australia?
Speaker 5 (13:54):
Yea, so it is very he has a very smooth,
sexy Australian accent, so yeah, you close your eyes, you're like,
hey daddy, and then you're terrified.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Those were two very tonal changes, because when I think
of Bronson Reed, I'm like, oh, tough guys, it's like, oh,
sexy man. Okay, but even uh Steiner what's his name?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Rick Steiner, the other guy in the group we were
just talking about.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
I feel like he is super tough and like, so
for him to like show some comedy, I kind of
like that they're rounding out the characters a little more
because before they were just like two tough guys. They
were too like we're AOP two point zero. But now
it's like, okay, if you're getting a little time, if
you're getting a little funny, I'm into this.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
The promo, I think Brown Breaker's voice squeaked at one point,
yeah cracked, yea.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, and it's like East Coast squeak, like yeah man.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
And then Paul Hayman gets his time on the mic.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Did Paul Haymon starts dissing Penta in Spanish?
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Wh it goes over to think, yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Did you know He's like, I did not hould the
Hangman page is what he did. I didn't know you
could do that.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
The whole opening, it just it was good, so so
over the top.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
It was would you compare? Because a lot of people
are saying that this faction is very Evolution and I
kind of got a little taste of Evolution, but I
feel like they're very different. I feel like they're not.
It doesn't feel as like serious as Evolution was, which
I'm like stoked about, Like are you stoked about? Where?
Do you even have a name yet? This is the faction.
I don't think they haven't.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I don't think there's a name.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I'm definitely more excited about it now than I was
when it first started.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yea, after that promo that really sold me on, like okay, yeah,
let's wait and see.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
And I think it helps because Seth is very.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Comical, right, He's a big you know, he's.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
A very joker personality.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Yeah, so I think that helps a lot with it
and separate it from Evolution because Evolution was triple h Batista.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Rick Flair, our favorite Randy Orton.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I mean, Evolution was definitely a sexier group minus Rick Flair.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Well, depending on the person. You know, some people, you
know what I mean, they're into alligators, so.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
You know, I think two things to make me more
into this faction. If we can get Bronze and Reed
to change his singlet to more like bron Breakers, where
it's like the legs go down a little bit because
it's just the cut, just the straight up shot. You know,
he's kind of a bigger guy, and I mean, like
just it doesn't look as tough. It just it gives
(16:38):
very big baby energy to me. And I'm just like,
just have like the shorts going down like the kurd
angle like kind of singlet.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
And second thing, if we could.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Tone down bron Breakers Tanner, Oh, that man just is
bronzing entirely, very sure dark.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
He's a very dark Steiner, very looks like.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
A Doomba from Super Mario Brothers.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Would not want to hit him with the hammer.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
He will bite you and bark at you wholeheartedly. But yeah,
he's he's very much more like Bronze Breaker. I mean
he is very very copper looking. And so I think
tone that down, swaps singlets, and then I'm all on board.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I mean, Paul Hayman does anything.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I'd listen to him, read the yellow Pages honestly, Like
I mean.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I'm going to nominate the group to be called the Haymans.
I love or Seth in the Rawlins, but let's give
Paul the Hamans. They're all men like men. Bronson Reed
can pick up hay I feel like he see his
whole legs while he's doing it. Just there you go,
(17:47):
Paul in.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
The Haman's that's great. We did have a funny moment
this morning with our son because we were putting away
laundry and he grabbed one of her bras, sports bras,
and he's like putting around his head and I'm like,
you know, want that's mommy's bra.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
You can't do that.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
And then he's like broad Breaker, there you go, hilarious kid, Okay,
you can.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
You can wear that. That's fine. Sparked at you for
an hour, and some people are mad that brin Breaker
was like, uh barking.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
There's like, oh, he just barks like a dog, And
I'm just like, do you not know who his father was?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
His whole career, he could either do barking or bad math. Alright,
you have to choose which one. Fine with the barking, yeah,
pick a lane? All right? What else you got?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
We also, unfortunately discovered at least this version of El
Grande Americano is not Corey Graves.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
It's not because they were in the same place. That
was her theory was Corey Graves and Olgrando Americano have
not been in the same place at the same time.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Boots that he had to borrow the.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Boots said CGG on it, and.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
So I wanted to believe it was Corey Graves and
it was not because the bond breaker your tanner all
over the time.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Well there was some tanner happening because yeah, El Grande
Americana wrestled on raw and it was definitely not Chad
Gable instead. Uh, yeah, that was for sure, Kaiser.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
That was he's not doing much.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Nothing but the stance when he walks down.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
We thoroughly enjoyed, especially because of what his what his
character has been up until this point has been very
serious because of Gunther and everything. So to see the
the goofy and silliness come out on Monday night was
very fun.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
There was no one is more American or Mexican than
Woodwig Kaiser, so I feel like that should work out.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I just wonder if we were talking like are they
going to like pass it around? The character is just
gonna at some point everybody's.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Gonna truth becomes like, yeah, Mark Henry, what it was weird?
We haven't seen our truth on TV in a while.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
So, I mean he's down in the Grande Americano.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Yeah, mask and tights man.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
So yeah, I was telling him there could be like
a point where there's so many different people that have
played him that it becomes like a money in the
bank match, but the mask is up there and they
have to climb up the ladder and.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Try And is the move set that you saw on
raw a Chad Gable? Was he doing Chad Gably olympi
e stuff or was he doing more like Ludwig Kaiser
just in a mask.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I mean it was kind of like he was trying
to do lootally right type stuff. A few flips where
he land on.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
His feet, one from the top rope where he grabbed
him and went back.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Yeah, that was good.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
So I mean, but he did stuff the mask and
go with the head butt. You know, that's that's very
much so the l Grande Americano thing.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
My money is El Grande's pensa. I feel just Peny
just takes off the paint, puts another mask.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Him without the mask and everything.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
He actually he looks he has kind of a baby face,
which is wild. You are probably the toughest scariest guy
on the roster right now without the mask.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Like, yeah, well there was somebody because I think it
was like he pulled his rental car up.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Oh and so he was getting out and did the thing,
and somebody was like, well, don't like completely break k
fab and he's like, he can't drive in that mask, y'all.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Ray Mystereo does.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Ray Mysterio wears that mask all the time, like he
is constantly wearing.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Because in w c W he he lost it early.
He just found out like that it came out. We're like, oh,
that's what I was thinking. Like, no, he like showed everyone.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I think he was in the movie Ready to Rumble
without the mask. Interesting, So yeah, like I remember that
movie and like the year two thousand or something like that,
like right before they had to sell they were hoping
that having a movie with put.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Him back on the mask.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, and it did not do that. So yeah, the
whole mask thing with Ray is still interesting. But he
definitely looks different now. So this next one, David, right, this.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
One, I need my phone board, So there was a
lot of Adam Pierce.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
There was great guy, great haircut, and it.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Was I mean, I guess, are we still calling them
New Day if it's just Koffee.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
And Xavier like the Bude.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
But they were grieving and so they weren't all black
with flowers because they lost the belts.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
So they were grieving.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
But in that shot, Becky Lynch walks by and like
talks shit about Adam Pierce and then like goes up
to Koffee and Xavier and it's like, you know, one.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Of the best things you guys did was get rid
of Biggie. And then she just kind of like walks off.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Now what I did not know, But when she walks off,
Xavier goes do it Lady, which is a call to Chit,
who is a famous character now on TikTok. And so
that phrase is becoming a thing. And so we heard
that and I was like, hey, it's becoming a thing.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I love that. So all the gen Z wrestling fans
are like, this is great, this is amazing.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yeah for now, So what was fun is what ree's
surfaced on the internet in the past few days because
of Becky taking the shot at Biggie, I want to
say yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
So it looks like this is Back in.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Twenty nineteen on Twitter, Becky posted a picture when she
was two belts with her mom in that Big E
took it upon himself to hit on Becky Lynch's mom.
So there is a back and forth of Mama Lynch's
Hella Foxy. He also said I would take my jacket
(23:39):
off and toss it into a puddle so Mama Lynch
could walk across it. Scratch that, I would lay my
whole body in the puddle so Mama Lynch could walk
across me. And then Becky responded she's married, and then
side note she said to message her burner phone later.
So just a whole bunch of like I would learn
(24:01):
to become a cycling class instructor and offer Mama Lynch
free classes just in hopes of seeing her post workout glisten.
So there's just a whole bunch of these back and
forth from twenty nineteen between Becky and Biggie and him
trying to get at Becky's mom.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I would put money on slash really hope that there
is a suburd out there of just erotic fan fiction
that's only Biggie and Mama Inch like it's gotta be
a novel chat gybt right right.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Right, yeah, yeah right now, Oh my god, it'd be great.
I'd just love to see the cover, just in the
open shirt, just dipping Mama Lynch big eie with a
big e Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
I mean he does so that I would hope so
not very and even else.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I know, I know I wouldn't get so comically large
if that was.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
If that were they came, I say it, I wouldn't
say anything though, Oh you can sue plex eight of me.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
So that was just enjoyable.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I feel like Becky was like taking her shot back
at Biggie.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Like six years later.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
I just saw an article do you ever watch Reno
nine one one? Yeah? So our Ben Garrant, who was
a junior, he was like the glasses one Oh yeah
he did. He wrote Night at the Museum, He wrote
a ton of stuff. Wow. He just he's a new comedy.
I think f X or Fox picked it up, but
it's his project. But Becky List Becky Lynch is in
(25:27):
the cast, so she has comedy chops. Yeah what I mean,
She's very funny, she's very charismatic. I would love yeah,
I feel like, yeah, that's true. You have to yeah,
match those big shoes and big jacket energy. Yeah, absolutely,
so I love that. I love that. Yeah yeah, Okay,
what else not.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Raw, but just a thing that we've discussed and I
know you will probably be passionate about it. I want
to see the Earnest movies come back.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Have John play Ernest.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Oh they kind of if you squint and you and
you close your eyes too, they kind of maybe they
had a similarity.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Side by side means and yes, yes, oh he's just
he's so funny. Oh yeah, no, oh, so so good.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah, his range is insane, Like it's come a long.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Way, it really has. But I mean, yeah, he's so
so funny. Yeah, And I.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Mean I feel like early on he was taking like
in train Wreck that.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
One sneakers, very very.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Very funny, and so his improp chops are great. But yeah,
that's been a meme that's been shared. It's just like
a side by side of him and Earnest because they're like, oh,
he's kind of agent to where he's very Jim Varney esque.
And I'm a massive Earnest fan from the nineties and eighties,
and so yeah, I think that would be great. Just
John Cena like, hey, Vern, you know, like that would
(26:56):
be great.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
I feel like he's so musty. But then Batista was
also super and he slimmed down like crazy, and he
looks like a regular because he was like, oh, I
want to like get more rolls. They aren't just so
imagine seeing in a year post retirement he just like
looks like a regular dude loses the mass. He could
totally be like.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
A fantastic we want to start.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I would love that, just see just seeing it on
a ladder with a hat on and a vest talking
about buttermilk. I remember that being a thing part of
Ernest is just like he was doing commercials for buttermilk.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
It's so strange, but that would be fantastic. I would
love that petition he drank it.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Grandpa drank buttermilk and like it was like a thing
thing like and he would like out of the fridge
and now like knowing everything about buttermilk.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Eye, I have ibs. I feel like I look at
like a drop of ice cream and I'm like, God,
if I drank buttermilk, I would be dead for four
days and then come back to life, just fully cleansed.
Fully cleansed.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Maybe that's the trick.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
I think, just eat a ton dairy and then just
never leave the toilet. Right, it was all the way exactly.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Last one I have in my list before we get
back to questions, Uh, did you watch the Randy Orton
interview on Stephanie McMahon's podcast.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
It's it's a cute up and so I drove up
from Anaheim. It's like a six hour drive to be here.
I'm on up to Oregon and that is queued up
in my YouTube downloads.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Oh okay, so listen, listen.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
It's very it's they talk about such real ship and
they do so excited.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Told like, it's not let's talk about it. That's the
cody 's Cody you want to talk about tell me
your story. Yeah that sounds about right. Yeah cool.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
And so yeah, they talked for like a good hour
and a half. I want to say it was a
long podcast.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
But he choked up, man, he did.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
He teared up a couple of times when he was
like talking about like his mental health, mental health, Like
he was talking about being I think it was so
important because he talked about being insecure and getting in
his head and like having panic attacks about like if
he could still keep doing this and like so he
just started getting in his head and like having trouble
(29:08):
sleeping and all this stuff. And he struggled with that
for years and he was on medication for it and everything.
And just I looked at her and I'm like, you
can't escape it, Like we romanticize that, ah man, When
I get the status and the money and everything, everything's great,
how could it not be?
Speaker 4 (29:29):
And it's just like, nah, man, you're just gonna have
new Keeping that up becomes the new.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Stress of just like public persona, are you able to
deliver that quality every time? Which is not realistic? And
so like it was really important to see for me
and I think other guys who struggle with anxiety and
such issues and things like that, to be able to
see Randy Orton get emotional about having panic attacks and
(29:58):
everything like that, and I'm just like, oh, man, I mean,
if it's him and he can't escape it, you've really
got to just enjoy the moment as best as you can, man,
because you're there's always gonna be you know, different problems
and different things that you're always facing. So that was
important talking about his kids and you know, being a
dad and everyally.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
And how far like he's come, like as a person,
you know, because he's I feel like he's been very
open about his growth as a person. Yeah, you know,
him being an asshole in the past, and you know
he was saying, like wrestlers always bring up like stories
of shit he did, and so I think it was
cool to like see how much growth he's had in
(30:40):
in everything and he been eaten.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
So he has been eaten. I love an arc, you
know what I mean. I like he could be someone
who's like really charming and cool, but there's almost beings
more powerful where like oh you were huge, juice bag,
you were horrible, your an asshole, and you came around
and you're like, oh, here's here's how I can be
a better person. It's almost like more Well, we talked
about like kind of the correlations with like comedy and rest,
you know how they're kind of somewhere earlier. But in
a weird way. I feel like if I were to
(31:04):
have like a great weekend and every show is great,
and that that high becomes my norm, it's hard to
kind of like regular life is weird because you're in
such a high. All the time, And I feel like
wrestling is that times X amount because think about it,
like three times four times a week you have thousands
of people arena just cheering for you. Yeah, how do
(31:26):
you like go to the grocery store and get the
same like ooh, adrenaline rushia. They have it with pulp,
now you know what I mean? Like it's hard to
like little things are harder to get you that little
like whoo. And I can only imagine being a Rain
the Orton level of fame and dealing with that and
getting all that praise and act and that's just your
life and that becomes your baseline and then just everyone
else's baseline is here. Like it's a it's a wild
(31:47):
thing to consider like people in that in that light.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, well I think that was even what were we
listening to that Sena was on and we were finding
out like Sena goes to the barber and he waits
if somebody's in the chair, and he just sits there
and waits his turn and like still does like normal
person shit, he doesn't walk around with security and so yeah,
I think that's that's part of trying to keep your
(32:10):
feet grounded when you have all of that going.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
On, but niversally, he also talked about something that I
think is similar to what you just touched on, which
is like if you're reaching new highs and that becomes
your new ceiling, like everything down below kind of becomes this, like, oh, well,
how do I find the joy in that?
Speaker 4 (32:29):
If this is the new high?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
You're always chasing that and you can't live up there,
that's insane. And so, but Sena had talked about like
because they asked him like, when was the last time
like you like bombed and like doing a thing where
you felt like it wasn't good, And so the threshold
for bombing for him was just like, oh he's like
a couple of weeks ago and Lexington, Kentucky. And mind you,
(32:51):
this was a promo he cut on SmackDown where she
messaged me and was like, cause I was I think
it was on the road. Yeah, I was at a
show and she it was just like the promo that's
seeing it just cut may have been the best I've
ever seen him cut. And he was referring to that
promo as a bomb for him, and he's just like
at a crowd wasn't into it.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
They couldn't wait for it to be over. They were
booming me.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
I know I'm a heel, but still like they just
weren't that. I thought it was gonna go over better
and it didn't, you know, and so I I consider
that a horrible bomb. And we're just like, man, So like,
the more you climb up the ladder, your your definition
of what falling short, what bombing is like. It's like
(33:33):
with comedy where it's like.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
The better you get a bomb is like you get
a room.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Full of smilers, like they're having as much fun as
they possibly can for you, though you know the bar
you usually clear, and that's something you gotta be like, Ah,
I bombed on that one. That wasn't good, But for them,
it was the best show they've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
They loved that. That's the most annoying thing though. You
stand at the end of your show at your merch
table trying to sell a lighter or shirt and be like,
no one is gonna no one's gonna up to me.
They hated me. Everyone comes to you, Oh, that was
the best show we've seen ever. It was great. It's like,
why was it silent up there? Ye? Silent there for
forty seven minutes and eight seconds, but you Yeah, people
react in different ways. And I think it's really interesting
(34:12):
because if you are if you're a wrestler and you're
you're living that high all the time, I feel like
you almost like where how your whole job is connecting?
But you're so disconnected, you know what I mean? What's
how do you find those go to the barber or whatever?
Like how do you find those normal? Just like how
can I stay grounded? I don't know how to stay
(34:34):
grounded when you're doing you know, four shows a night
for ten thousand people in a room. Yes, Like, oh god,
that sounds well.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
I think we've talked about that in comedy too, and
like we've told other comics like keep going and doing things,
because you do get to a point where we see
that in comedy with the higher name, with like the
bigger names, that now there's that point of disconnect of
what they're trying to talk.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
To people about because they've they're too big and nobody.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
You can't relate.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yeah, you can't even late.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
I don't think we're gonna meet him. So I feel
I can like share this story and not get heat
or aading for it. I lucked into doing I was
at a show in New York and Seinfeld came in.
It was a Tuesday, and I think he was running
a set. This was years ago. It was one of
the last Letterman tapings, which was on a Thursday, and
I don't All four of us went up and we
(35:22):
all ate shit, We did horrible. He goes up five minutes,
says nothing standing ovation I was going to the store,
applause break this boom boom, boom, boom boom. I saw
he probably, like, I don't know, twenty minutes. His first
six or so was the Letterman stuff. I saw him
on Letterman and it kind of hit. It wasn't bad,
but it wasn't the roar of the club. And I
(35:43):
thought to myself, like, how do you know when a
bit works? Because every time you go up, you just
get this wave of like do you even know? And
it's almost a horrifying feeling to be like, I would
love to make millions of dollars and be at a
signful level, but also there's a fear of like, if
I ever get to a certain level, will I not
be able to read a crowd anymore? Yeah, Because I'm
just kidding, and it's it's insane to think about that.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
I think, what do we watch?
Speaker 3 (36:07):
We watched Sarah Silverman's UH special and she got a
standing O coming out.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Yeah, and we.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Were even saying like, well, now you have to.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Leave on that or better yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
When she said that, Yeah, she's just like, okay, you
started with that, and so anything short of that now
is going to be like a personal slide against me
as a human being to my core, like I need
that energy coming out. But to your point, yeah, that's
that's very real.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
How do you know how to? I think Bill Burr.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Said at once, He's like there's something that's why he
still goes.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
To open mics to try stuff out.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
He's like, there's something to be said about having to
get them, and like, if a crowd doesn't give a
shit about who you are, you got to get them.
You got to convince them that you are funny and
and that your stuff is universal, and that you're gonna
be able to take them on those ride and you
got to quiet their minds.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
Man.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
And so there something to be said about getting him.
And that's why Burstil hits Olpa mics.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
He's like, I gotta go someplace where nobody knows or
cares who I am.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
So that way I can try and run stuff and
see if it's really funny, because my fans are just
gonna laugh all the time at whatever it is I'm saying.
And that, Yeah, that's a that's a wild thing to
like the comedy version of Yes Man.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
I would recommend to mister William Burg go out and
buy an Elgande Americano mask, do some dropping sets. No
one's gonna know, no one's gonna know the spray tan
and it will be wonderful.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
What you have to do that is that is the
last thing with the Randy Orton interview that we talked
about is like he doesn't know how attractive he is.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
He has no idea is he You don't think he's attractive?
Speaker 4 (37:46):
You know what I can I can be fine saying
this man's a good looking guy. This guy's a handsome guy.
He looks very just like mean, you know what I mean.
There's not like a sexy vibe to him. There's like
he just looks. He just looks like I'm just scared.
I think more scared than attracted. Randy Orton type.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Did you think he was attractive like in his younger days?
Speaker 2 (38:07):
When he was thinner, like.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
Maybe I feel like I've always I think there are
certain guys where you look at him and you're like, oh,
handsome dude. And there's some guys you look at him
you just don't get that read immediately, you know what
I mean. Same thing with like women too. I feel like,
you know, I can look at me like, oh, you're
conventionally an attractive person, you know what I mean? With him,
I just that never struck me when I when I
looked at.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Him interesting, interesting, yeah, because I mean there was like
twink Orton versus now like.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Daddy, I can see that. Yeah. Same with the mac
and Tire. He has that same kind of thing. He
used to be like a skinny, like handsome boy.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
I think he looks so much hotter now. He was
hand picked.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
It's the sword, that's what.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
It's the boy and also the sword big you know
I'm talking about that, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
So yeah, I know Randy Orton and his dad area
I think, oh yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
On top of looks like there was something sexy about
that podcast where like a grown man knows what Gee
is like to like Gee over butter and he's like
and now I train.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
The way my body's opposed to it.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
I'm like, oh yeah, everything about it.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
At least got to see twin Cortons.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
But at one point he did, that's right, yes, So
it was man, it was saving.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
For the Patreon, all right. That stfore cell.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Phones before cell phones, and me and my parents went
and at the time, me and my mom were I mean,
I'm still a super fan, but we were Stocker fan
and we and at the time, you knew where the
wrestlers would park their rental cars when they went in,
and so me every time me and my family would go,
we leave during the last match and you'd go hang
(40:01):
out where the rental cars were, and there.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Was already like a group of people. So it wasn't
just us this.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
For like musicals and knew it for like professional fighting.
I was like.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Different execution, and I mean we got to see that
at night.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
I think we met like Lillian Garcia Caine, like a
couple other ones. But and so Randy was bringing his
luggage out and he was trying to get it.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
To fit in the trunk and close the trunk, and
the trunk when it closed.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
It's a metaphor or talk about the actual.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Car car trunk and he couldn't get it to close,
and so the whole the crowd is like laughing and
giving him ship, especially because he was a heel at
the time and like he actually was an asshole, and
so everybody was giving him ship. And he got so
frustrated at like us and the trunk and the whole situation.
(40:48):
He turned around, flipped us off, mooned us, put it
in the backseat of the car, and trove.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
It's more of a reward, I feel like, more of
a hook up. That's a good story. Get out of that. Yeah,
I want you did the right move, Randy r Kala
grandmother and walk away, don't show a button.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
I feel like, yeah, that's a reward for everybody at
that point. That's the opposite of a hand flip.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
So, but that was before phone, so like, you know,
it's just up here.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah, you know how long his crack is?
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Yeah, at the time. Now there's you know, more mean,
there's a lot.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
More meat on it.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Yeah, very very different connected to those games. So a
couple of final questions that will will fire your way
most underrated wrestler of all time in your opinion.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
I was thinking about this question very deeply two names
that are a little more low key but throughout to
do you have some Jack Evans. For a while I
was I worked for Luca Underground and I was a
big Lucha Underground fan. He was there, he was an
a w from it. The guy was a what the
what do the kids do? The toddler's tumbling gymnastic, gymnastics gymnastic.
(41:58):
So like I remember working for know who just be
standing there in like one of those like rope things,
just like twirling, twisting, wild guy. If you every chance,
lookup Jack Evans. But another one who I feel is
a little more WB vibes Akira t Zawa. I was
a big fan of the Cruiserweight Classic. I think that's
my favorite chunk of wrestling thing. And I didn't think
(42:20):
he was gonna win, but I thought he was incredible
in it, and that's cool. You don't have an otice
or buddies. And he does a little dance, But that
guy is a phenomenal wrestlers, very very punchy. What's it called?
Lot of things are poppy a Kira Tazawa.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
So he's not getting utilized the way he should.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
I think he's a perfect blend of a snappy I guess,
and that Japanese tough vibes, and to think of someone
who's almost you know, in that same like aura of
like a Shinsky Nakamura or like just like a straw
heavy hitter not do that. For the past few years
in WWE, I feel like it's it's it's he's underrated.
You can you have a you have a vicious man
(42:59):
on your hands.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Didn't they cut Otis?
Speaker 4 (43:01):
They cut so sad.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
I wanted I wanted him to get a push so
bad because.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
Money in the pang they did nothing with that. I
was like, this is going to be his time, and
it wasn't. I was so disappointed.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
But like, yeah, so I don't even know that he's
going to get the push because Otis is gone.
Speaker 4 (43:16):
I I can bring it out. It's right over there.
I brought a couple of shirts for this trip, and
I was like, oh, we got the resting ones for
this one. I have a heavy machinery shirt the other room. Yeah.
Otis and Tucker they always been a big Otis fan.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Yeah, man, love me some Otis absolutely.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
I think. Let me a caterpillar.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Yeah yeah, a lot of range, like can put on
a good match, nibble on his feet for a big guy,
but also very funny.
Speaker 4 (43:39):
Have a great love story, romantic exactly. Man.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
So okay, all right, those are solid.
Speaker 4 (43:46):
Most underrated match, Most underrated match. I'm a big Seawn
Michaels fan. I got Shawn Michaels on my leg. Yeah,
that's amazing. When he came back. I think it was
two thousand to Summer Slam him versus Triple H. That
was the first match where I felt like I could
like physically suspend my disbelief because his whole thing was
(44:08):
get a back injury. Walking into it. Triple H was
like trying to reinjure the back. And I think it's
one of those like people talk about, like, you know,
the great Shawn Michaels matches him and Taker, him and
Taker two, him and Stone Cold. But I think him
Triple H Summer Slam, I think that's even better than
their They're just I think it's great, it's wonderful, and
no one really puts it up there with stuff.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
So I agree. I mean, I think that was a
very underrated match because, yeah, he was coming back from
the back injury.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
Nobody was gonna happen. It was a street fight.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Yeah, so I mean the things that he did. I
think he did that moon salt onto the table, did
he not?
Speaker 4 (44:41):
Like yeah, that was every backbreaker he would get felt real.
He looks so stiff and you're like this guy is
like actually injured, you know what I mean, Like why
are you doing?
Speaker 1 (44:50):
Back is actually messed.
Speaker 4 (44:51):
Up and it like made me like tense up. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:54):
I think Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle at WrestleMania, that
match they was that, oh yeah, underrated because the first
like ten minutes is just chain wrestling. It's just him
like putting Angle and all his shoulder lock, headlock, wristlock
like and all these flips, and there's like a moment
(45:14):
where like angles in the headlock and he's just like hits.
Speaker 4 (45:18):
The mat because he's so frustrated.
Speaker 1 (45:19):
He's like damn it, like and I'm just like this
is brilliant, Like just from a you don't expect Sean
Michaels to have this type of match against Kurt Angle.
And then the build from the rest of the match
on was just like traditional like okay, big spot wrestling,
and the way that he sold everything like oh yeah,
I think Sean Michaels is the greatest of all time,
(45:39):
but I mean, like is yeah, man, I mean I think, yeah,
if you put that one on there, and.
Speaker 4 (45:44):
Then also, uh, the one with him, every match he
has is great, you know what I mean. I would
even put him in Hulk Coogan.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
And My Time, right, I know, it was a fun
little ballot exactly, I mean, and I mean the retirement
match that Rick Flair should have gone out on, which
was beautifully I love you, that would ah, I'm sorry,
I love you and just and then the oh my.
Speaker 2 (46:07):
God, Rick is not going to get better than that,
and he should have out.
Speaker 4 (46:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
No, every retirement match since then was not as good
as that.
Speaker 4 (46:16):
Like, so I think every Shawn Michael's match pre Crown
Jewel is in my top twenty, you know what I mean,
any match with him like him and a dank at
number seven, number seventeen and a half, like yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
That Crown Jewel, that was a that was just a
cluster of all the worst things.
Speaker 4 (46:33):
But even he's shown in that even he got a
moon salty outside it and looks you know, not half bad. Yeah,
that's he's so good. Also, just every Royal rumble everyone
gives WrestleMania. The I'm like, no, the Royal Rumble is
the number one thing I look forward to every year.
Give it more credit to make that the new big thing.
The Royal Rumble was like the number one thing in
(46:54):
rustle I don't know how that would work out, but
I love a good Royal Rumble.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Well it's hard because like the winner of the Rumble
gets to go on to WrestleMania to come hate and
so that's the thing that I think.
Speaker 4 (47:05):
Will always have it be like the second at all.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
You know, it's always going to be that spot, I think,
because that's the reward is you get to go to WrestleMania.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
Dude, I've never been to a real rumble.
Speaker 3 (47:15):
Do you know, do they like do like how they
do like a WrestleMania Access week, Like do they do
that for a Royal Rumble or I.
Speaker 4 (47:21):
Would imagine show. I feel like it's such a big
event that all like like we know it's the best,
and then WrestleMania is like the more commercial like oh,
you're a civilian noist. I mean, I don't know. I
feel like if they don't there's a lot of money
to be made with like some type of convention or
some type of like I don't know, Super WrestleMania store.
Just that'd be great.
Speaker 3 (47:42):
I think the hardest part would probably be if you
did that with a Royal Rumble and they have like
any people coming back that are trying to be secret.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
You don't want ex tries on the town.
Speaker 1 (47:52):
Because that's the biggest thing is the surprise entrance.
Speaker 4 (47:56):
Have the Royal Roumbo kick it off, so you have
those surprises. We're after WrestleMania and the down post and
then yeah, like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, have like a big thing,
throwing an NXT thing, throwing a throwing, a evolved throwing
enough whole thing, you know what I mean, into something
and then yeah, just with SmackDown.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Yeah, yeah, I like that.
Speaker 4 (48:14):
I think that makes sense. That makes sense. I'll take
ten percent of the royalty on that idea. WW the
creative please or tickets will also happlely.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
Yeah, we'll always take tickets.
Speaker 4 (48:24):
I'll take a signed sock, all right, just send me.
I was in there, mister man. I will say we
were kind of I got some questions before, like, oh yeah,
I would say one of the things that also got
me back into wrestling. I was thinking about it. Do
you remember the promo when Mankind was going to face
(48:45):
Triple H and he's like, oh, Triple H, you beat
me so much so I can't face you, but you
know who you can first. I think that's a friend
you now that I think that also like really solidified
my love for it. I just want Probably thre or
four days ago, there was a great promo that was brilliant,
like the.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
Way he just laid it out of just like the
corporate Mankind just all beaten up and like down in
the mouth. But then also Triple Ah selling like the
horror of like oh no, no, anybody but anybody but
you in a flannel.
Speaker 4 (49:21):
Literally crude love, dude, love, I don't know how you're
gonna face Here's a blue blood. He has money now.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
So so yeah, like that hole, that whole promo was
absolutely fantastic. So yeah, because that was the whole thing
with like him being his cactus shack.
Speaker 4 (49:49):
It's like he's probably.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
Not gonna win, like, but you're gonna leave that match
a different human being because that's like you're gonna earn
that when that you're gonna get, but he's you're gonna
get close to dying, like You're gonna lose a lot
of blood in that match.
Speaker 4 (50:08):
And so yeah, Mankind's whole bit was like you just
take it, you know what I mean, just takes so much,
but in a weird way pre w W, E E
c W or whatever, you know what I mean. Characters Jack,
he took it, but he also gave it. It was
so interesting to be like, oh my god, this whole
character you have of Mankind, that's this whole bit, but
you just whoop, Oh my god. Now he's the one
who gives that. Yes, that's beautiful and do love kind
(50:31):
of just didn't do much, but we all have great
answer answer.
Speaker 1 (50:34):
Yeah, absolutely, great tag partner.
Speaker 4 (50:36):
Great tag partner. Yeah, you want to fire off the
last question?
Speaker 2 (50:39):
Yeah, last one.
Speaker 3 (50:39):
So if you could make up your own like wrestling
persona and name, what would it be.
Speaker 4 (50:46):
I used to train to be a wrestler. I used
to do some wrestling stuff, so I kind of have
an answer. Oh yeah, I mean it's great, but it's
it's something I've done before. I used to be a
Mexicpino noir. My whole bit for stuff is Mexpo, have Mexican,
that Filipino, Mexicpano Noir would come to the ring in
which were a mask, no mouth, so what a nose
and eyes, but I would drink pino noir sounds like,
(51:10):
and I do a fake triple H thing and it
was fun, but it didn't work out well. My finishing
move was a rip chord poked to the eye, so
I would grab your arm, just like Seth used to
do with the knee, only instead of a knee, you
got your I poked. Wow, never won, but you know
it was never win, not the I poke that got whatever.
(51:32):
It was the ripcord, the really guy, I'm busy. Oh,
there's a wonderful show called the Kevin Lang Show and
they had to rest their episode and I actually got
to do it. Or I did the rip chord. I
poke on a guy and he sold it so great,
and I was like, man, this feels so good because
usual an ipokes like oh would you? But this guy
(51:52):
fell on the floor. He was flailing, and I'm like,
this is the peak of my wrestling existence can go
back from this?
Speaker 3 (51:57):
I mean, I think we should try and figure out
how to at least get you like a wine label made, yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
And like you in the mask and everything.
Speaker 1 (52:04):
Absolutely, I would drink a mexicpano no wir.
Speaker 4 (52:07):
Yeah, it's a two buck chuck, just with a sticky
note on it.
Speaker 2 (52:11):
The bella's got there speakeasy, and so we'll just.
Speaker 4 (52:18):
Mine's more of a Tilaari brand, all right, No disrespect
to them, but yeah, I mean not as not as upscale.
I also used to have a fanny pack or I
would put a fake brick in it and I would
do like a like a championship belt, hit the brick inside.
More fanny packs in wrestling. That's what I say. It's
a good merchable item. Yes, yeah, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (52:36):
It was going back to the Randy Orton thing. He
was talking about how he carries a bag.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
He carries a bag, and the way he was describing
the things he puts in a bag. I'm like, that's
a purse.
Speaker 2 (52:46):
My guy's always prepared.
Speaker 4 (52:48):
Always prepared. Over my shoulder. It's very nice. Mine stole
saga bana. But you know what, there's a variety of
a d can y one.
Speaker 1 (52:57):
Backup guess as in guess what's in the bag.
Speaker 4 (53:00):
Yeah, it's my lipstick, his chapstick. He did say it
is a lipstick. It is hardly Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (53:09):
We need to get your wine label going sounds.
Speaker 4 (53:12):
Good next to shop around some brands.
