Brother Brother.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Scissors. What has the solar system cooked up this very
special PostScript edition.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'll tell you what the unwrapping for. You know, honestly,
after the jar, I'm very nervous about opening any package totally.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, of course.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah. It wouldn't be uh, it wouldn't be podcasting if
we didn't have a little bit of angst. That's something
interesting here. But here we go. We have let's see
here read before opening the gifts. Okay, all right, we
accept your orders, We.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Accept your direction. Thanks indeed, extramatic unfurling of the paper.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Greetings and good good tidings. Co chairs. Yes, I send
you this letter and gifts as a debt of what
is owed for the years of entertainment. But we both know,
we both we three, maybe we both, I don't know
both sides of it. You know that the service you
provide can never be repaid in full, although us in

(04:40):
the Solar System certainly try absolutely. I've never written you all,
but have done a cameo and an email in or
to regarding the Bond Journey Tina Turner water Settle the
score Bill, score Bill. Oh yes, in GoldenEye, Gladys Knight,
we're someone your four licensed to kill and gun barrel
sizar JP. I still f we believe it qualifies the

(05:01):
Paul London rule with thunderball. But then again, maybe I
should shut the fuck up and take my medicine, like
like the good boy, I am.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Shutting the fuck up is always something i'd encourage a
listener to strongly consider before sending us.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yea specifically about I'll tell you the the the whole
thing about Manny's. You've been reading the Manna's things regarding
the sandwich, people like can going crazy? Oh no, no really, yeah,
people and crazy that I fucking put uh uh mayonnaise
on the sandwich, Like, well, you fucking fucking one by
not doing that, you know, it's a better for you
didn't do that.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
I'll just say, before you send us something, just consider,
Wait a minute, should I actually shut the fuck up?

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, that's a good that is a good question.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Just the that's the one thing we don't do anymore.
And I think we see the consequences to everyone's mental
health as a result.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Because you know what, I love mayonnaise. I love fucking mayonnaise. Okay,
Mannai's is fucking god gift, right, all right, So don't
fucking even try to convince me that me putting manonnaise,
and my sandwich is wrong because I fucking invented it.
It's my fucking sandwich. Yeah, and you've been And if
you don't want to do it right there, if you
don't want to do it right that's your fucking problem.
You're just not gonna have the satisfaction that I do.

(06:06):
There we go.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
I mean not denying. I'm not thanks beating a single
thing you say. For the cameo, I had JP imitate
Vince and offer my buddy who works for All Entertainment Wrestling,
a job as his new patterson. Oh, I remember this one.
Somebody's name is pat Is Patrique. Unfortunately, I selected privates
of boss could not reveal it, although he referenced it,
and it was great to know he loved the humor.

(06:28):
I'll save my story for how this college level podcast
and my life have intertwined. How I was a free
loading bitch all caps for the most of the time,
but through severe illness and just guilt, I have done
the right thing. And I'm now here sending two people
that I only know through audio entertainment vehicles. Through audio
entertainment vehicles, these gifts, gentlemen, as we know the sport

(06:50):
of kings is one of fakery, and what better way
to celebrate that with what I call the Complete Hulk
Hogan Ai Memorabilia collection, because a real needs fake Ai imagery. Okay,
so he's got he's got orders here and then more.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
It's not about feeling guilt, by the way, it's about
feeling worthy.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
It's also it's also about satisfying yourself, right, you know
that's part of the thing. Okay, So I don't know
which one, say this one, I don't know what. Oh
this is the one. Okay, that's you. So I guess
I opened mind first according to his list here.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Okay, it's rules, looks looks say, he's got some size
on it.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
More scissors, more scissors.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Fake memorabilia. That's what it is really, when you think
about it, it's not real memories. After all, you're not
leaving the real memories alone. You're leaving the fake memories alone.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, good luck convincing anyone that you're wrestling memory is
a real It's there a problem though, the fact that
it wasn't real.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Like, I'm gonna tell you what, I'm gonna have an
interesting here, I'm gonna do this, So I'm gonna it's
a it's a canvas, so I'm gonna reveal it like
this so you actually see it first. Wow, can't really
kind of make I can. Yeah, it's okay.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
It's just there's a lot of like there's selling on it,
so it's shot. There's there's a cover, but I know
it's all I know. It's terry.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Oh my god again again, this fucking scissors will fucking yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah, as soon as we pat ourselves on the back
for remembering the scissors, that doesn't even cut it. See
I'm wrapping in twenty twenty five. It's the most belovedable
holiday tradition on podcasting because we suffer just like this.
Look at how tight that is around the edge's boss.

(08:58):
Don't make the error of thinking if I just try harder,
it'll work, I know, because then you're barning your arms
out and get cranky.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
I know. Problem is that the scissors aren't even cutting
through this ship. Look, it's a made out of like
eating the scissors too. One of these years we will
stab ourselves with these things. This is so fucking bizarre.

(09:26):
That's the theme of this year's unwrapping is.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah, for sure you don't think he's gonna make that
corner without cutting again, No chance, no chance, I got it.
Look at him?

Speaker 2 (09:41):
What an idiot. This is an AI rendering of Hole Cogain.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
It's like a portrait and he's clearly like looking behind
him like someone's up. Look at hot Look at those eyes.
Holy shit, that's really im point, is really really unpoint.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
That's one of the better one. Honestly, it's one of
the better AI versions of him.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Good idea.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
See here we go. H So, he says to read JP.
For years, you have given us the true hul Cogan, paranoid,
wary of a rib even barbecue ones, and always looking
behind his back. So I present to you who's coming
behind me? Brother? A very telling recreation of hull Cogan
looking over his left shoulder with concern while using his
right arm to block anyone coming from his blind side.

(10:30):
That's what the other arms do. Yeah, that's clever. You
may think his right arm is in is in a
perfect position for a chicken wing, but as we know
from the Journey, Terry is an expert artist when it
comes to the chicken wing maneuver, meaning he knows how
to block in blind side. It's true right, he knows
how to do high schools wrestling coach too. Blots at
any attacks that may come. Use this to give you

(10:53):
inspiration when you reach down and it burns inside, or
you can just burn it inside the fireplace. I understand. No,
I'm gonna fucking hang that one up. That's a good
one on.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, that's not a troll gift the way it is,
but it is.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
But it's like it's also one of those I mean,
that's it's like the you know, the sid one. So
right here we go. Oh my, one more.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Piece of Hulk A member Relia, the boss man I
can report to you is literally stabbing with a pair
of scissors. It's definitely a poster. It's a big role,
big Hogan sized blunt.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Come on. Magic of the unwrapping.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yep, okay, oh, I see the old wrestling is on
the marquee style type.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Face like that in Florida Championship Wrestling.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
It's like those old posters they glued to the wall
and backstage segments now when they're in Nick Aldos's office.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah right, as if I fucking know what that even is.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Oh Sportatorium July twenty Wow, Wow, he cooked up a
fake Florida champiship wrestling poster for Hogan versus.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Who Boss Hero Matt Sudha and what does it say?
And a special wrestler puts the point of their elbow
on their opponent's ship, bulls their foot to break their
leg match pulled back on my toe. That's just great.
So the by ticket all tickets are six dollars and
underneath it's fake. That's a terrific little piece. That's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I mean, look, first of all, I love how he's
already Hulk Hogan and he's wrestling here in Matsuda in
nineteen seventy seven, like three years before you was named that.
But that's great, man, that's fantastic. Those can those past
the smell test day?

Speaker 2 (12:49):
You look real? Yeah, oh for sure they look fantastic.
They got to read a part of a card, now,
that's all right? Were you here? So, Jack, as a
historian reporter of the Square Circle, your knowledge and ability
to get all of the finest details is greatly appreciated.
Since I know you appreciate history and artifacts, I wanted

(13:09):
to give you a poster that I think would have
been appropriate for when Hulk Hogan was breaking into the business.
It's great. Did he go by Hulk Hogan? Of course not,
But does that make the poster any less appealing? And
I think not. No, I think not too, sir. I
think it was Terry Boley, but a little weird. Actually,
the inspiration for this one does go to the cast
as paranoid. Terry stated something along the lines of, is

(13:29):
this a put your elbow on my shin and break
my leg? Match d That's fucking great, that's fucking great.
Fucking said it. The fact that I must have said
it is that sounds like he would say ye, match brother.
Also note the words on the bottom. I feel lapstitter

(13:51):
might be embedded in chat GBT. You don't have to
read the full AI prompt before I below. Oh, you
don't have to read the full AI prompt below. I used,
but as you can see, I did not use the
words it's fake. Oh my god. It it introduced that
I had to acknowledge it was pro wrestling, so the
AI would build it out because apparently, because apparently, using

(14:12):
your elbow to break someone's leg is really fucking violent
and violates ts W. Again, thank you coaches for all
you do. Mary chrismas Ryan Jay. Okay, here's the prompt.
Create an old time wrestling post. You're like the one attached,
have it host Have it be hosted by Florida Championship Wrestling,
located at the Tampa Sportatorium, date sometime in nineteen seventy seven,

(14:33):
with the main event Hulk Hogan versus Hero Matsuda and
a special wrestler puts the point of their elbow on
their opponent Shin and breaks their leg match. This is
pro wrestling, so this is pro wrestling, So it's pretend
and nobody gets hurt. It really gets hurt, and it
is really sweet.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Dude, that's clearly the LAPS editor sitting somewhere within the
line which model. Oh yes, it is arms folded. Great stuff, pal,
that's fantastic stuff. And it's great to see that the
latest t Left Journey, the Complete Hulk Hogan is sparking
gift giving notions this holiday season. Proof of concept, folks,

Uh huh.
