Speaker
I am the hot take kid Phil Gentile here in the Jimmy's Famous Seafood Studios. We got Sheena Phelps back, folks, just for you Patreon subscribers. Sheena Phelps is back.

Podcast Hopes and Bedtime Transitions
00:00:51
Speaker
I sure hope so. Because if that's the case, that will mean bedtime has become much more of a smooth transition.
Marco and Sheena Take the Lead
00:00:59
Speaker
We have the MVP, Marco Denton, on the line as well. What's going on, Marco?
00:01:04
Speaker
Nothing much. Just uh, just uh, just chilling over here, you know, just gonna take a backseat cuz she is back So I don't have to talk as much so I can keep my trap shut Yeah, I don't know if you've been keeping up with me on Instagram stories But I feel like you have to carry me a little bit until things get off. So don't do taking the easy way out Marco. Yeah, I
00:01:29
Speaker
We wanted to jump on together. Sheena's time has been dicey here and there, and it will continue to be so. But we wanted to get this recorded for
Q&A from Social Media
00:01:37
Speaker
you guys. We polled everyone on our Facebook, on our social media, Twitter, asking for some mailbag questions. So we're going to rapid fire these things as best we can. That's what we're saying at the beginning. I'm sure we're going to deep dive into some of these questions. But we thank you guys for all your submissions. We thank you for subscribing to the podcast and our Patreon page. We couldn't do this without you guys.
00:01:59
Speaker
Let's just get started. I got names for some of these people. I don't have Twitter handles, but it's all good. Let's start off. Oh, I can't start with that one. I guess I can start with that one. Yeah. Jason Cook, this is a wallop right off the bat.
Single Life Fantasies and Adventures
00:02:13
Speaker
If you weren't married, what crazy thing would you do that you've never had a chance to do?
00:02:20
Speaker
Who would you like to go first? You don't want to lead off, Phil? Well, I was just thinking an Asian chick. That's the only thing you can pick up. That's the only thing. Didn't say, who would you do? Yeah, well, still. Yeah. I mean, that's the first thing that came to mind.
00:02:37
Speaker
Oh, man, you have you gonna have your pick of the litter at the AEW, you know, performance center. Let's say mine's not mine's not nearly as kinky, but I would say if I wasn't married, what crazy thing I would like to do, I would like to like travel around the United States and like an adventure van and just like park like in like RV parks and like Walmart parking lots and like, you know, just drive around and
00:03:03
Speaker
adventure. Yeah. I just feel like, you know, live in that like minimalist lifestyle like me and like a dog. And, uh, yeah, I think, I think that would be pretty rad. Yeah. I'm sure we don't have any kids in these dream scenarios. Yeah. Yeah. I can't even imagine what that feels like at the moment. Marco, what's, uh, what's your crazy thing? Um, I always wanted to, uh, I always wanted to be a standup comedian. Um, so,
00:03:32
Speaker
just traveling around and doing that type of stuff. I don't think you can, I mean, you can have a family doing that, but like, I feel like that's a type of like thing where you, you know, you can't have a family. You gotta, you gotta hold your craft and you gotta, you're going from city to city and doing things like that. So I mean, there are communities out there that do have like families and stuff like that, but me, I would, I'd probably, if I, if I had the choice, I'd probably not have a family and just do my own thing and be, try to be super successful as I could at that type of,
00:04:01
Speaker
that type of profession. So I'm going to have to I'm going to make Marco do some stand up one night and just see how it goes.
00:04:08
Speaker
Yeah, that's let's do it. Well, I will do a patreon exclusive half-hour special Okay, so my mind went pretty differently than you guys on that one We have like aspirations of yeah Yeah
00:04:34
Speaker
Yeah, yours is just hanging out with Rio for like a day or so. Yeah. A day, geez. Don't give me that much credit. All right, Tyson Trevino, our buddy Tyson Trevino. We've been digging these questions for a while. I guess we can fantasy book this.
John Morrison's WWE Return
00:04:51
Speaker
How would you reintroduce John Morrison back into the WWE? What they did was just have him open a locker room door for five seconds and poke his head out.
00:05:01
Speaker
and then he was on MizTV last week. Let's fantasy book this. I'm a big John Morrison fanatic, but I'll let you guys go first on this one. Obviously, he's already come back, but how would you have brought him back, Sheena? I mean, I feel like I would have brought him back in NXT. I feel like he would have had a much bigger impact coming back at a place like NXT instead of what they did, which was basically nothing. And then nobody really even
00:05:26
Speaker
knew who he was you know what I mean like the pop was like absolutely zero you know and then I think it was kind of like I think they knew that nobody kind of knew who he was at the moment because like they even had I can't remember who it was that was the had the microphone back there what chick it was they all kind of look the same but they were she was just like oh John Morrison I'm like
00:05:45
Speaker
you wouldn't have had to say that if it was any other superstar you know like you're not gonna say like oh cm punk you're back you know um so i think i would have reintroduced him like you know back in back in nxt maybe like you know some velveteen dream action or something like that you know what i mean
00:06:02
Speaker
Yeah, he's been gone since 2015. It feels longer than that. But yeah, it didn't seem like anybody really remembered who he was. It wasn't like the biggest star in the game when he left or anything like that. And he hasn't been anywhere huge since he left. So what about you, Marco? How would you have brought John Morrison back? That's actually a really
00:06:22
Speaker
actually a good scenario, him and Velveteen. That would've been pretty sick. But I was thinking, yeah, no, I mean, that's, that's awesome. Now I'm actually kind of mad that he didn't show up in NXT. But Maya, mine's more of like a actual like entrance. So since he's like a parkour, like King, I would have him do like a kind of like, I'm not sure what event would be maybe WrestleMania. I don't know. Kind of like how they had Charlotte do that whole like helicopter like ride.
00:06:49
Speaker
And then she ended up at the arena. I would have him like kind of like you wouldn't see who was just some dude like parkouring all over the place. Like you see like legs and arms. It's like jumping from building a building running down the street, jumping over these things and then like have him show up in like whatever event it was. That's it. I mean, just to make it a little bit exciting instead of having him just open up a door or maybe even just have him parkour into a room and then surprise. He opens the door or some shit. I don't know.
00:07:16
Speaker
But yeah, they, I mean, they kind of mess up on that, but that's what I would have done. I would have had to did like a short of like out of a bit, a big event, not Friday night, smack down in the Mrs locker room. That's kind of lackluster, but they kind of ruined it by announcing his return anyway. So there's really nothing they could have.
00:07:33
Speaker
Yeah. He's been gone since 2011. So it's almost been a decade. So younger fans, I'm sure, don't really know him. I mean, I would have probably saved him for the rumble. But I like the NXT idea, feeding with some of those guys and getting those guys over. I mean, he's kind of a better version of Tyler Breeze at this point.
00:07:49
Speaker
You know, yeah, I'm glad he's back. Hopefully they do something with him. Maybe, you know, a few with him and Miz would be cool heading into WrestleMania, but we'll see. We'll see what happens there. Thank you for the question, Tyson. This one should go pretty quick. Zach Eagle off. Good buddy of mine here in Maryland. Best Zelda game. I've only played one Zelda game in my entire life. That was the original on Nintendo. So I don't know if you guys are, I've never talked to you guys about video games. I don't know if you ever played WWE 2K, but
00:08:18
Speaker
Well, I would say it has to be, um, Zelda Ocarina of time, just simply because like I've heard the, the heel husband talk about this game, like ever since we've been together, like it's like his all time favorite, uh, Zelda game. So, you know, um, I would have to go with that one, even though I'm not like hyper familiar with the game. Um, I'm just going off the heel husband's coattails and I'm going to say it's the legend of Zelda Ocarina of time. Marco, any thoughts on this?
00:08:46
Speaker
I would have probably picked that as well, but since you picked that, I'm gonna go way back in the way back machine. I'm gonna go to regular Nintendo and go with the gold cartridge. Legend of Zelda game. That was a pretty awesome game in my opinion, but both games are great. But yeah, definitely the gold cartridge does that for me.
00:09:09
Speaker
Man, just off track here, I used to love Nintendo 64. What a great system that was, man. That was so much fun. That was kind of like such an update over Nintendo and Sega and all that stuff. Thank you, Zach, for the question there. Cory Handy, which WWE, oh, he didn't say WWE, so we can do anybody. Which superstar in his desperate need of a huge push?
WWE Superstars Needing a Push
00:09:35
Speaker
Desperate need, huh? It's tough because, you know, Andrade was somebody that everybody was clamoring for, and he's got the US title. Buddy Murphy is now associated with Seth Rollins, so it looks like he's getting a push there. You know, I can't really...
00:09:52
Speaker
I'm gonna go with Alistair Black I think we all know how talented Alistair Black is he just came out of you know his view with Buddy Murphy and stuff which was great but at the same time like now he just beat like a Joe Schmo on Raw on Monday night you know which is fine like I don't think there's anything wrong with just like squashing a local
00:10:11
Speaker
Dude, you know what I mean? But at the same time I feel like Alistair Black like deserves bigger and better things so I would be excited for him in 2020 to get some sort of like push for even if it's not like a world title push just like even like a you know, Intercontinental or you know US title That's a tough one Alistair Black's good. I'm trying to like run down the roster right now trying to
00:10:41
Speaker
our truth and desperate knee. I mean, yeah, I would say our truth or even Matt Hardy. I mean, he's been the talk of talk of the rest of the world the past couple of days. I mean, yeah, I mean, I would. You know what? Our truth. Why not? I mean, he's been proven to bring some entertainment to the pretty much.
00:10:59
Speaker
every Monday night, I mean, whether it be him wrestling or just him in the ring, talking that, like, I know it was a, has truth held other than the 24 seven. I'm like at a loss. Has he held any like other major titles before in his career? Uh, I want to say United United States champion, uh, at one point, um, was a US champion. I believe so.
00:11:25
Speaker
Yeah, early to that, like, probably when you, like, I wasn't watching Russell and I just know they showed, like, highlights recently. I don't think anti-continental. I'm actually looking right now to see. So, yeah, United States, hardcore. He was a Slammy Award winner as well. Oh, wow. And then he did a lot of, like, he did stuff outside the WWE. Like, he had the NWA World Title.
00:11:52
Speaker
at one point, stuff like that. But yeah, United States tag team and 24 seven champion. But yeah, why not? I mean, he said they they really love him. If you like it, watch any like interviews or like like Stephanie, Vince Triple H, like.
00:12:06
Speaker
He's like one of those guys. I like probably have a like job for life there even when he seems like a super a super nice guy like I've just seen him like and you know doing some like backstage stuff and then on total divas like he was always at like Natalia's parties and stuff and he just seemed like a really like chill super cool like funny, dude Yeah, why not give him like a universal title? I'll entertain that would be
00:12:33
Speaker
Oh, my God. Can you imagine the the fucking smarts heads would blow off? Like they I mean, there there would be like it would be like a what's what's the word I'm looking for when like a bunch of people die all at once. So like, I feel like it would be like it would be like, yeah, it would be like on the news like, oh, my God, you know, thousands of wrestling fans found dead, you know, their head, their heads exploded.
00:13:00
Speaker
I'm going to, I'm going to go with one that might be predictable or maybe not. I'm going to say AJ styles. I feel like I know it's hard with Brock being a champion and, and, and Bray kind of taking over, but I just miss the days when you had like four or five guys going for the, for the, you know, there's more than two people in the main event scene. And I think AJ just, you know, he's just seems to be kind of treading water right now. And I know they're, you know, you're, you're always going to have up and downs
00:13:25
Speaker
Cooling people off, but I think it's time to get him back up And you know give him another run with one of the titles and whether it's a heel or a face I mean he's great at both Either another guy that comes to mind when he gets healthy is Jinder Mahal I think he you know he's a great heel people love to hate him so Mm-hmm a couple good ones. Thank you for the question Cory. That was good. That was very good
00:13:47
Speaker
Aaron somehow snuck in with two questions here. What is your year
AEW's Impact and Progress
00:13:52
Speaker
end review of AEW and how it's progressed since it's launched? I kind of answered that on one of our last couple of podcasts. Sheena, I don't know if you missed that one. Did you hear my rant on that?
00:14:06
Speaker
Yeah, I did. I did. I did listen in for the AEW, the Phil's hot takes on AEW. For me, I haven't gotten to watch all of AEW. Obviously, life has been crazy this year.
00:14:22
Speaker
Feel like it's just kind of like it was it was like a quick peek and Then it was just like it kind of like flat-lined a little bit for me You know what I mean? I feel like the build-up was so hype and then you know, it took off really really strong and you know It was beating NXT in the ratings and all that stuff and there was like so much hype and then I feel like it's just kind of been stale It hasn't been bad. I like a UW, you know, but it's just I
00:14:47
Speaker
I feel like they, I've said this before on the show is that they over promised and under delivered. You know what I mean? So that I feel like they really should have temp. We should have tempered our expectations for what we were going to see this year. And I feel like if had they under promised and over delivered, then we would have been like, Oh my God, AWS, like really like they're, they're really making their,
00:15:09
Speaker
their footprint known in the wrestling world, but they acted like they were just going to come in and, you know, freaking change the culture in the words of CM Punk. And I feel like they they've not done that whatsoever.
00:15:21
Speaker
Yeah, like I said, I addressed this on an episode a couple weeks ago, but that's kind of what I said with more curse words mixed in. It just hasn't been as good as I thought it was going to be. And they're still just finished their first year. So you've got to give them a pass there. But it hasn't been like a must watch. And I don't think it's a serious competitor for WWE yet. Marco, your thoughts?
00:15:47
Speaker
Yeah, I think I said a few words. I think they kind of shot themselves in the foot having their biggest stars Have leadership roles in the company which led to them not being able to like, you know Get the star power that they needed to get the company off the ground the way they should have so like everyone switched over to see the young bucks and Kenny Omega like flourish because
00:16:12
Speaker
there are these big names outside of the United States and bucks inside the United States too, but like, you know, not as big as like, obviously, uh, WWE and like their stars and stuff like that. But like, they were probably the biggest stars outside the WWE. Um, and I think by having them in those positions that they, they really like, I think they just really ruined it. Like, I think it like them being in like leadership positions and it stops them from pushing themselves to the top and make it without it make it look like, Oh, they're just,
00:16:42
Speaker
in a leadership role. They're just going to make themselves the superstars and stuff like that. So I think, personally, they should shed those roles. Those are self-imposed rules, though. Those aren't real rules. You know what I mean? If that's what they're doing, then that's just not what's best for business. Yeah, no, yeah. I feel that's what they're doing. I don't know if that's like Cody. Just judging from his interviews and things like that and the stuff he says about,
00:17:10
Speaker
You know, he's, he's the, like, was he the executive vice president or something like that? And he's, you know, he's doing a lot of like behind the scenes stuff, but at the same time they did that match with him and Jericho where he lost and he's never going to be able to challenge for the title. Like if they have to do stuff like that, then I think it kind of like cheapens it. Cause I kind of want to see him win the world title at some point. I want to see Kenny Omega win the title. I just don't know if it's going to happen because they're in positions where they're doing other things in the company. And those are, like I said, those are the, those are the big name people that they have.
00:17:41
Speaker
like not to take anything away from like Jurassic Express or SCU or any of those guys, but those aren't, that's not why people, I just went to go watch E.W. They wanted to see the bucks, they wanted to see K9 Omega just be the biggest stars bigger than WWE or try to take them on in that sense, and I just don't see them doing it.
00:17:59
Speaker
Exactly. Yeah, to put a bow on what you said, like you said, people bought into AEW because of the big name stars and then they have not pushed them at all. So like, yeah, to just end this question, they have not used their talent to their full potential. So hopefully they learned their lesson and in 2020, they'll give the people what they want.
00:18:20
Speaker
Yeah. Give us what I want. Give us what I want. I mean, they just, you know, they signed a new agreement with, I think, TNT until 2023, which is great for them. But you got to think that at some point, some guys from AEW jumping over to WWE when their contracts are over, I mean, it happens
00:18:37
Speaker
For every company, somebody's unhappy, somebody doesn't like with their place on the card. So they have some good young talent now. You've got to keep them and put them in the right places. So yeah, best of luck to those guys. Aaron also asked, if you could have one legend come back for one last run a lot of Goldberg a couple years ago, which legend and why and whom should they feud with? I have some thoughts on this. I would love to see, and this is a perfect world.
Wrestling Legends' Last Run
00:19:06
Speaker
And in general, I don't like when these guys come back because I feel like they're past their prime. It's just taking up space from a younger guy who could use the rub. But I would love to see Shawn Michaels come back and just basically say, hey, I'm going to wrestle for six more months. I don't give a crap about titles. This is the list of everybody that I want to wrestle. And he just names the next four pay-per-views. It's just basically like an exhibition match. And he wrestles AJ Styles. He wrestles Daniel Bryan, whoever.
00:19:35
Speaker
Um, and, and just have it like good wrestling matches, you know, it doesn't matter if he wins or loses them, maybe make them win to and lose too. I don't know, but, um, just have it more of like, we want to see these dream matches. You still got some left in the tank. You know, let's, let's do it. I think that would be kind of cool. Yeah. I would have to say, um, I would love to see Brett Hart come back if he was a healthy enough to, to do so. And I would love to see him fight Seth Rollins just because, I mean,
00:20:06
Speaker
What, what, what better match for me to pick than Brett versus Seth? You know what I mean? I don't know. My head might actually. Whenever, uh, whenever, uh, Brett came and gave Seth the rub, um, that time I was like, Oh my God, like this is like the best moment ever. You know? Um, so yeah, I mean, if in that situation I would probably have to, to cheer for Brett, just because like, you know, I mean, he's the, he's the OG. So, uh,
00:20:34
Speaker
Yeah, but I wouldn't like necessarily root against it, but I would love to see it. Marco. I was I'm going to I'm going to go with a good old stone cold Steve Austin making his way back into the into the WWE. I had two. One of them is kind of a weird one. Maybe showing up at NXT and taking on the the the undisputed era.
00:20:58
Speaker
just taking on, just dropping them all on their stack of diamonds that they call a neck. Because they're the undisputed era, and he's from the attitude era. So that's basically like a battle of who had the better eras. And maybe you see Tommaso team up with Stone Cold at some point and help him lay waste. But my other one with Stone Cold would be probably Roman Reigns. Just to carry on that lineage of Stone Cold back in the day, open up a can of whoop ass on his cousin, The Rock.
00:21:28
Speaker
And now he's coming back to do the new generation to take on the big dog. Yeah. He's like, he's like the Michael Myers of the wrestling world to like, you know, take down all the lineage. Yeah. I'm going to open up a can of war pass on you. God damn it. That's good. Thanks. I've been working on this. I'm working on my impressions. We got to bring impressions to the show. So I've been trying to.
00:21:54
Speaker
working on some. So I'm working on Bret Hart right now, too. You should incorporate that into your stand up. That's what that definitely is going to be. The whole half hours will be stone cold doing stand up comedy. So be good.
00:22:06
Speaker
Let me tell you about Uber. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the questions. Uh, this one's from scholar dope Davis, one of our awesome patron subscribers. One thing you'd like to see WWE do creatively in 2020.
WWE Creative Changes for 2020
00:22:23
Speaker
This is similar to the who needs a big push, but this can be besides a wrestler. And I want to say the answer that I always give to this is a bring back Halloween havoc. That's all I, that's all I want.
00:22:34
Speaker
Yeah. Give us what we want. Um, I would love to see Halloween havoc as well, but only if they do like the vintage, like Halloween havoc sets. I mean, that was the thing that made Halloween havoc. So fricking Epic was just, that was the, was the set design. So if you, if you F that up, then you know, you don't deserve to have Halloween havoc. Um, the one thing I would like to see WWE do creatively in 2020 is.
00:22:56
Speaker
actually surprise people with Comebacks like you know people that are like if John Cena is coming back to the WWE don't announce it like you know The whole week ahead of time or two weeks ahead of time that he's coming back like just let us have our moments where The music hits and we actually like pop for it. You know what I mean? And it's not like pre-planned or anything like that. So I would love to see WWE just like
00:23:22
Speaker
let us have surprise returns in 2020. I like that. Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy come back at WrestleMania was a great example of that. I mean, that arena was freaking, or that stadium was bumping. Oh yeah. It blew the freaking roof off that place. I was there. Like it, like I felt that pop in my bones, you know, it shook me like to my, to my core.
00:23:44
Speaker
back to mine I want to see just kind of expand on that just I used to love back when they had different every pay-per-view had a different set I mean now it's like raw snap down every pay-per-view it's just the same stage and same setup I mean you know you can do some cool stuff for TLC and extreme rules and some of these pay-per-views and
00:24:05
Speaker
I love watching back on stuff on the network and seeing all the different, you know, backlash would have the big like knives that would swing back and forth. So that that's something I would like to see, too. What about you, Marco? I'd like to go old school and have them bring back like the the feeling of like a like a big fight feel meeting, you know, bringing back like the celebrities and stuff like that, not celebrities in the matches and stuff like that, but just like celebrities at ringside and like
00:24:34
Speaker
Interviewing and asking them who they are waiting to see tonight. That type of stuff. Sarcade did that really well if you watch any of the old Sarcades. Oh, I thought you were talking about this Sarcade. I was like, this Sarcade was an abomination. No, no, no. Old school Sarcades. So it was on TBS and stuff like that. So they'd have all the network drama actors pulling up to the stadium. And Jim Ross would be out there interviewing them as they get out of there.
00:25:02
Speaker
That type of stuff, obviously WrestleMania is a big fight feel, but I feel like when you have that celebrity endorsement to it, maybe it will happen this time around, because they have the Fox deal and all that stuff. So WrestleMania might look a little bit different, but I'm hoping they bring that type of thing back, because that's like, if you go back and watch all those old WrestleManias, and even some of the Royal Rumble and stuff like that, just like the celebrity interaction, and just hearing one of your favorite actors say, oh, my favorite wrestler is Roman Reigns, and I hope he
00:25:31
Speaker
kicks this guy's ass. It gives you like a sense as a wrestling family, like, oh, they actually watch wrestling too. And even if they don't, they're acting, so you believe it anyway. But just that type of feeling. I would like to have that back in 2020.
00:25:43
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. I hope they do it better than they did whenever the draft was happening and like all, they had like all of the ESPN, like celebrities, you know what I mean? All the sports celebrities like coming to be like, yeah, I love, you know, Stone Cold Steve Austin. I'm like, he hasn't wrestled in 20 years. Like Jesus Christ. Cold Stone. Yeah. I love Cold Stone. I love Cold Stone.
00:26:04
Speaker
that that
00:26:19
Speaker
All right, thank you for the question, Skyler. Mike Lanham, occasional co-host of the podcast, asked us, best movie you saw this year other than Joker, which throws a little wrinkle. I know. I'm trying to find. Who else asked this similar question about? Martin M. Morrow on Twitter asked us, top five movies of 2019. But we can just talk about, in general, some of the movies.
00:26:44
Speaker
I know Sheena has not seen a single movie in 2019. Oh wow. If you need to use the bathroom Sheena or something. Listen, we were moving across the country. I was pregnant. I moved into a new house. My husband was gone all the time. Then I like, you know, just gave birth and like, you know, babies.
00:27:02
Speaker
I did see Toy Story 4 just not in the theater, so if that counts for anything. Okay. That was not very good, I don't think. It wasn't as good as 3. I mean, it wasn't a bad movie, but... I thought it was okay. Yeah, it was okay. I did enjoy Forky. I thought he was a good addition to the gang. I did see El Camino. Okay, there you go.
00:27:24
Speaker
Yeah, El Camino was was good. I'm trying to think of anything else I definitely missed. I wanted to see what was the scary movie with the issues about this. Oh, yeah, I see. That's right. I did see. Was that the show?
00:27:40
Speaker
Yeah, it was early. It was like it was like early part of 2019. But that's good. That's a rewatch. Yeah, that's good. Yeah. But I definitely want to see it because I remember watching the preview and just be like, holy shit. And then it just never I never watched it. You would like Midsummer, which was a horror movie, which I know you're a fan of. Yes. I've seen the preview for Midsummer.
00:28:03
Speaker
Very, very interesting. I watched lots of trailers. What was your favorite trailer of 2019? One movie I did not like was Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I couldn't even make it through it. Oh, man. Oh my god, freaking Brad Pitt just won a SAG award for best male drama movie or something like that.
00:28:24
Speaker
Oh, what about fighting with my family? I saw that. Oh, you did? OK. I did see it. It was good. I did see fighting with my family. And that was actually really good. I was pleasantly surprised at how well done that movie was. I was just expecting it to be just some sort of Hallmark movie. And I actually really enjoyed it. Everyone says this Parasite movie is good. I haven't seen that yet either. Parasite. That's on the list.
00:28:51
Speaker
Two popes sounds like something you would like, Phil. Oh, yeah, two popes, yeah. There's been a bunch of movies lately on Netflix. The Irishman was good. Netflix is actually coming out with some pretty decent movies. Have you seen any of the John Wick movies? Because John Wick 3 came out, too. That's right. John Wick is awesome. Avengers Endgame, obviously, all the Marvel movies that came out are probably going to be in my top five. Yeah. Anyone see It Chapter 2? Yes. No, I didn't see that.
00:29:21
Speaker
Yeah, Chapter 2 was awesome. Was it good? I liked it. OK. Did you like it, Sheena? Did you see it? I haven't seen it. I really enjoyed the first one. I wish there was a little less CGI in the first one. I don't know how they did in the second one. I felt like the CGI was just a little bit overdone. But I did enjoy the original, but I haven't seen the sequel. Yeah, it's not over. They didn't overdo the CGI on this one, but it's about equal, we'll say. Cool. We'll see together.
00:29:51
Speaker
All right, thank you guys. Well, thanks, Mike Lanham. Yeah, thanks, Mike Lanham. Jonathan Rivera, how would you describe Twitter and social media's overall effect on the wrestling industry?
Social Media's Wrestling Impact
00:30:02
Speaker
Negative, positive? Oh, geez. Yeah, this is going to be stuff. Well, you know what's funny? I actually had a question like that before I came on the show. Do you guys remember that? It was like, obviously, last year. When you were sitting in the MVP. Yeah, actually, my question was about that.
00:30:21
Speaker
What do you think about the influence of social media on wrestling? I feel like I do remember that now that you now that you say that. Yeah. Personally, OK, so I'm I'm a Libra, so I'm a habitual fence writer sometimes. Like I try to be open minded and see both sides of of the coin. I believe there's definitely a positive impact in like the community aspect of social media being able to, you know, I feel like sometimes when you like something like wrestling, especially as an adult,
00:30:50
Speaker
or like action figure collecting or something like that you can you can without social media you could totally feel like isolated or feel like you know like that what you're doing is stupid or you know there's not other people out there like you but social media allows you to connect with people like you
00:31:08
Speaker
And, you know, I think it's really important because you may not have people in your geographic area that are into the same things as you are. And I feel like it's important to connect with like minded people and social media gives us that like for free, which is super, super important on the negative side of it. I hate that there is just such a knee jerk.
00:31:30
Speaker
Culture with like anything not just not just wrestling but just anything And then just like the overreaction culture, you know Like the rage culture where people are just like so offended or so upset or you know Like everything is such a big deal and like people just everyone has an opinion which I think is the shitty part of social media because some people don't deserve to have an opinion that Should be out there in the world. You know what I mean?
00:31:54
Speaker
Well, I mean, everybody is entitled to opinion, but it's not like you have to share every goddamn thing. Well, you know, agree to this. Some people should not. Everybody's entitled to your opinion. Everybody should not have access to share their opinion with the world.
00:32:10
Speaker
Yeah. Social media just makes people think that there's someone out there that cares about their opinion. That's the main problem with social media. I mean, if it wasn't for social media, I wouldn't have met either of you guys. I wouldn't have done a lot of, you know, experienced a lot of things, but the people that really bother me
00:32:26
Speaker
And I crack a lot of jokes. I'm a smart ass. And it comes through on my personal Twitter and on the Chick Foley at Chick Foley show Twitter account. And the people that take it so seriously is the worst part. I mean, making fun of a botch on EEW when, I don't know if you follow Dick Van Klondike on Twitter. But he posts a bunch of videos of botches from EEW. And he does the same thing for WWE.
00:32:55
Speaker
And if I commented on them, it's like the end of the world, people taking it so seriously. I don't come on social media to be serious. That's what I do during work time. I come on there to be a dumbass and spout off some funny stuff and whatever.
00:33:14
Speaker
do they not realize there's a whole um hit youtube series called botcha mania that is actually like extremely entertaining like like botches are some of the best things that happen in wrestling sometimes you know it's like i mean obviously like you don't want to just see like a straight botch fest but like every once in a while it's like good to just like be like oh shit
00:33:33
Speaker
You know, like the freaking, like the Tyson, um, that the Titus O'Neill, you know what I mean? When he likes, I just, I literally just posted this like yesterday or day before yesterday when he slid under the ring at the greatest world rumble. Like that is one of my favorite freaking memories. And it was like the biggest botch of like the year. I remember being a kid and watching like baseball blooper videos, like guys dropping balls and falling over the railings and like, you know, that's, you know, it's
00:33:58
Speaker
entertaining. That's all it is. Exactly. People definitely need to relax. The people that don't have lives that take social media a little bit too seriously, I kind of feel sorry for. You've got to have a good balance of real life friends and virtual friends.
00:34:15
Speaker
True. Not to take anything away from social media. Like I said, I've met everyone that we're friends with that we've had on the show, the three of us, every guest that we've had, every opportunity that we have, all our sponsors. It's all because of our impact on social media and being ourselves. Absolutely. I've met some of the best people ever on social media, on my personal account and on Chick Foley. I just feel like with social media,
00:34:39
Speaker
with wrestling particular another question is specifically about wrestling with wrestling in particular i feel like people just like. In the old days like you people weren't so critical of everything like wrestling has always been like.
00:34:55
Speaker
Like entertainment, it's always been like there's always been a level of like silliness to it, you know, and there's always been a level of like, um, I don't, I don't know what the word I'm looking for is, but not like it's never been like Uber serious. Right. And I feel like now with, with social media, like.
00:35:13
Speaker
people are so quick to criticize and like you don't let things digest anymore. You know like you used to watch a wrestling show and then you would like think about it and then you go to school tomorrow and talk to your friends about it and you had time to like actually let what you saw digest but now it's like as soon as something happens people are like on their phones like posting their immediate thoughts and I feel like it really takes away from just like enjoying the product without like a critical eye.
00:35:39
Speaker
Yep, thank you, Jonathan. Good question. I think we could probably spend a whole episode on that topic. Oh, yeah. Let's move on. Kevin Harrison, another good brother here in Baltimore area. Not the best, but who are your favorite jobbers? This is an interesting question.
Favorite Wrestling Jobbers
00:35:53
Speaker
He named five guys I don't really remember too much. I don't, yeah.
00:35:57
Speaker
Yeah. Dusty Wolf, Italian Stallion, Mike Thor, Reno Riggins, and jumping Joey Maggs. I mean, the ones I remember are obviously the Brooklyn Brawler, who was, you know, for my entire childhood and adult life was just the guy that got the shit beat out of him. And so, yeah. And then Gilberg, Dwayne Gill was a big one. Gilberg. Yeah. I'm going to have to go with Gilberg. I like that one. Yeah. Anything to add to this, Marco?
00:36:24
Speaker
Gotta have, I do miss the days of just having jobber matches and then, you know, having four pay-per-views, but, you know, wrestling's totally different these days. Marco. Uh-oh. Nope, I'm here. I'm here. Um, you had Barry Horowitz, too, don't forget. Oh, God, yeah, that's a good one. You had some good matches with, uh, Skip of the Bonnie Donnas on, uh, WWE Superstars. Yep. It was, um, Tony Guerrero was another one.
00:36:52
Speaker
He was a, uh, another jobber. Um, I think that that's all it comes to mind that I can think of. That was like notable guys that I remember anyway. You already said Brooklyn bro, which is like the, he made a living off of, uh,
00:37:07
Speaker
Just being an enhancement talent, not a jobber. Oh yeah, enhancement talent. That's the preferred nomenclature. Kyle B. Fitzgerald, one of our Twitter followers, asked us. Carl. Carl. Carl. I wonder how many times he hears that. I do that any time I meet someone named Carl.
00:37:31
Speaker
I haven't watched that show. It's been a long time for me, too, since I've watched it, but that meme will live forever. Your go-to drink out on the town, which I don't think any of the three of us go out on the town very much anymore. Out on the town, baby! The town? You mean, you know, in my kitchen?
00:37:53
Speaker
OK, back in the day when I used to go out on the town, pre-child, I would say my go-to drink, well, I usually order beer if I'm out somewhere. But if I'm going to get fancy, I do love me a skinny margarita with just either like 1800 or Patron, a little bit of lime juice, like a little splash of Triple Sec or Grand Marnier or some subtle orange liqueur.
00:38:22
Speaker
and then salted brim, that's my jam, a little bit of soda water. Yeah, I'm a beer guy too when I go out, but lately I've been drinking whiskey sours when I go somewhere where I don't have to pay, like some of these work events I go to, so I only get a couple of whiskey sours, I'm not paying for it, so that's been a good, I never really used to drink those before, so I've been drinking those. What about you, Marco? I like to do the vodka, vodka crayon.
00:38:47
Speaker
Oh, man. Got a little Carrie Bradshaw action, huh? You don't get it in the form of a Cosmo, right? You just get the vodka crayon straight up like a man. Yeah, of course. It's good for UTIs, Marco. It is, actually. I usually have a lot of UTIs, so that's why I drink them. I forget I have a UTI. But my other drink, my other fancy, it's not really fancy.
00:39:17
Speaker
Martini espresso or espresso martini. Those are really good. Basically coffee with alcohol in it. It's basically a blackout waiting to happen. Yes, it is.
00:39:28
Speaker
If I want to get fancy, that's where I let's put uppers and downers all in the same in the same drink. Oh, of course. I went through a phase where I was doing Grey Goose and pineapple in college for some reason. Oh, I used to be a pineapple mixer. Yeah, like Malibu and pineapple. I think that was like one of my college go to. It's a lot of sugar. Yeah, you wake up feeling like dog shit after that.
00:39:53
Speaker
Mark, I'll start with you on this one. Pizza or burger? This is still from Carl B. Fitzgerald. He got three questions in somehow. I don't know. Pizza or burger? It's basically what you like better? Yeah, let's say you can only eat one the rest of your life. What are you going with? He had to go with the pizza. Yeah, I'm going with pizza. It's tough, man. Depending on the day, I would probably go pizza too, but I would miss the shit out of something like a good burger.
00:40:22
Speaker
Do you like like a homemade burger or are you more of like a restaurant burger? Like a fast food burger. I hate when someone going to cook I'll eat a hot dog if I go
Pizza vs. Burgers Debate
00:40:33
Speaker
to a cookout I don't know if it's where I live these fucking redneck people in Maryland, but everyone cooks the shit out of their hamburgers like I Enjoy you know going out you know to like a
00:40:48
Speaker
Not a fancy place, but like a bar restaurant type of place and getting a good burger. So yeah. I'll say pizza. You agree with that too, Pizza Sheena?
00:40:57
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going with pizza, because you can get hamburger pizza, but you can't get pizza hamburgers. You know what I mean? So you can get your fix for hamburgers while eating pizza at the same time. So got to go pizza. All right, I said this was going to be a 20-minute episode. We're at 40 minutes so far. Holy shit. I'm already finished. Listen, Jess, I'm drinking a beer. When's the last time I've been able to do that on the 5K? Oh, wow, OK. Yeah, I finished my beer like forever ago. So yeah, we need to wrap this thing so I can get another beer before we start the main show.
00:41:27
Speaker
No, you can slide out and, you know, all right, let's wrap up. That's what she said. Oh, Jesus. At Kingdom Figure, who you definitely need to follow, he does some awesome work on Instagram too with some figure photography. He's a great follow. Do you see a professional wrestling in a better state in 2020 in terms of viewership, better storylines, larger crowds, or will it be more of the same? Have a wonderful year. Thank you, dude.
Wrestling's Future in 2020
00:41:53
Speaker
I don't know. I mean, I see, I see wrestling related things all the time. I feel like I see like NFL players are showing up to the arena wearing like wrestling shirts. And I'm saying like the, I don't know if you know, the Milwaukee bucks do like a pregame thing where they basically like, like back in the locker room, they do like a fake, like Royal rumble. They're all like fake hitting each other. And it's been like a goes viral every time they have a game.
00:42:14
Speaker
And you know, Drake's wearing Razor Ramon shirts. But viewership is nowhere near what it used to be. It could be because there's so many shows to watch. It could be because I don't need to watch it live anymore. I have a freaking DVR and Hulu and all these other things. So I don't think it'll ever be as big as it used to be. But I think with AEW continuing to improve, I think WWE continuing to do what they do.
00:42:37
Speaker
I think it's just going to hopefully get better and better, especially if we get an NXT Japan announcement in the next couple months. That would be pretty cool too. So what about you guys?
00:42:46
Speaker
Yeah, I'm totally, I'm totally with you. I think, I think it's cool to like wrestling again. You know what I mean? We went through a period of time and like the, the mid mid to, you know, I don't, I guess you can't say late 2000s because we're still in the 2000s, but you know, you know what I'm talking about that era where it was kind of like not so cool to, to be a wrestling fan. Uh, we kind of like left the attitude era and into like ruthless aggression where it was kind of just like, eh,
00:43:09
Speaker
you know the hardcores were there but it wasn't like such a cultural phenomenon I think we're seeing a lot more of it like kind of like the throwback with like all of the 90s stuff coming back like fashion and culture and stuff like that I feel like you know wrestling has been a big part of that too and yeah like you said celebrities are into wrestling and I think
00:43:28
Speaker
I think yeah it's gonna be the same as far as like storylines where I think we're gonna see the same the same type of thing but I feel like it's just more widely accepted now that wrestling is like a cool thing to go to I think people who don't watch wrestling will still but still go to like wrestling events you know they'd be like okay cool yes summer slams in my area like I'm gonna go to summer slam or I'm gonna go to you know the Royal Rumble or a fucking Monday Night Raw for that matter I think you know
00:43:54
Speaker
A lot more people are exposed to it, especially with the shows like Miz and Mrs., Total Divas, Total Bellas, all those things. I feel like we've reached a whole new level of wrestling fans. Totally agree. Maya and Marco, do you have any different opinions on this? Do you think wrestling is in a better place going forward this year? Of course, yeah. Long story short, yeah, definitely.
00:44:22
Speaker
Look at the amount of wrestling that's on TV right now. Yeah, for real. I mean, we crap on AEW a lot, but I mean, they're another, a different promotion on a network. Major network. Yeah, so like, it shows that they're, they're so interested and it's so, it's as big as it ever was. Like you guys already mentioned, it's pretty much everywhere with reality TV. They're on ESPN, they're doing, they do like the local news,
00:44:50
Speaker
Channels when they're like when they're doing like they're like shows and stuff like that So like there are they are repairing everywhere and you know, it's like I said, everyone everyone's I think everyone's a wrestling fan It's just you know nowadays. It's easier to say you are a wrestling fan. Mm-hmm
00:45:04
Speaker
All right, thank you Kingdom Figure for the question. We appreciate it. I like how Sheena thinks we're still in the 2000s. We're actually two decades removed from the 2000s, Sheena. It's 2020 right now. Wait, but we're still in the 2000s, right? No, that's like saying you're in the 90s still. No, the 2000s is just 2000s. So we're in the 20s?
00:45:25
Speaker
Yeah, we're in the Roaring Twenties now. Yeah, we're in the Twenties. Did you just wake up from, like, I'm a fro- Are you frozen? Wait. She's like, wait, what? What? In Cenoman. Me make fire. Yeah, I'm in Cenomom. Wait. But, like, so if you say, like, the 2000s, it's still... 2000 would be 2000 to 2009. And so what did you call the second decade? The teens? The tens, I guess. I mean, no one really called it, but now we're in the 20s. Yeah, Roaring Twenties.
00:45:55
Speaker
Yeah. But you say 2020, so it's still the 2000s. We're not in like the 2100s. I'm 2008, you're 2000 late. That's the black eyed peas one said. That's yeah, you are 2000 late. Ryan Bellsy won on Twitter. If you had the funds. I think that's Belial. Okay. I don't think it's
00:46:18
Speaker
Oh, here we go. Ryan Blau. If you had the funds and the space, would you do a complete collection of WWE Nutella leads like price and space don't matter? Yeah, sure. I mean, that was the goal for us. And then we decided we were going to liquidate. But yeah, that was our original goal was to have a complete
00:46:39
Speaker
Mattel elite collection. Yeah, if I if the if price wasn't a you know, a problem Yeah on a non related topic our buddy Kyle Peterson who is on Twitter and he's also in our institute You know in our patreon group. He posted some pictures yesterday He has every Mattel elite ever made and he has like his entire room as he has like 30 detox full of them. So I
00:47:02
Speaker
Yeah. That was some beautiful business right there. Yeah, it's pretty sexy. I have no desire in my current state to have that, but if I won the lottery and I had a house big enough, yeah, I would do it. Yeah, sure. I'd keep a MOC, though. I'd probably do MOC and lose if I do both. Gross. True, yeah, I guess so.
00:47:23
Speaker
I guess if price and space weren't a factor, then yeah, it doesn't matter. You could have one of everything. I have the actual wrestlers in a glass box. I'd pay the Iron Sheik to come over and just stand at my house. Oh, speaking of gross.
00:47:40
Speaker
Guy Manperson on Twitter, at1love, what's your take on the Stone Cold IPA now that you finally had it? I received a can of it from one of our buddies over at Boots to the Face podcast. I have not drank it yet because I don't want to drink the only one in the state of Maryland. But I know Marco thinks it's pretty good. You said it was good, right? Yeah, it's awesome. Actually, I found a place that I'm actually going to try to send you guys some now because I actually found a store that opened up.
00:48:09
Speaker
It literally looks like a Walmart for liquor. It's the craziest place I've ever seen. I've never seen a liquor store that looked like this in my life. I'm not sure if you guys have the... Total wine? Something like that. They have a guest center, like a guest services area. I walked over. I go, hey, do you guys have the Broken Skull IPA? And they're like, who makes it? I was like, oh, El Segundo. And he looks up at his computer. He's like, oh, nine. Walk over there. Oh, that's awesome. I was like, what the heck?
00:48:39
Speaker
wine tasting or like liquor tasting stations all over the place I was like what I was like what is this place I've never even seen this before but yeah so I found a place I'll have to grab some so I can
00:48:48
Speaker
said you guys something so you can definitely let me know. I'll hit you up. PayPal ready for sure. Yeah, I like it. We actually had it at the El Segundo Brewing Company. We were in El Segundo and Seth was working in San Diego and we got to actually go down to the brewery. Dude, listen to this shit. So we were at the brewery, right? We're like, OK, maybe because we know Stone Cold goes down there periodically. We always see them on Twitter or Instagram and stuff like going down there.
00:49:14
Speaker
We go down there and we get it, we drink it, obviously don't see stone cold, and we're leaving. We're headed back to San Diego. We're on whatever freaking highway that is, and we're about 20, 30 minutes out. Then we get a tweet from stone cold, and he's like, hey, are you guys still there? I'm headed down there. We're like, we should pull the fucking brakes.
00:49:34
Speaker
turn around and go back but we couldn't like we just couldn't go because he was like coming he was that he was stopping by to grab some beers and I was like oh my god like what if so like how how are we gonna miss fucking stone cold Steve Austin so if you have if you had a beer with stone cold I think I could probably die happy I mean not to oh that is like the ultimate goal like I like the heel husband we always like just kind of like talk about
00:49:57
Speaker
like who we would who we could just because i
Almost Meeting Stone Cold
00:50:00
Speaker
get really celebrity nervous like i'm like i don't i get starstruck really easily um and even like with like d-list celebrity like if i saw fucking dj polly d or something i would be like oh my god it's celebrity you know
00:50:13
Speaker
Um, but I, I get like really star struck. And so, but I was like, you know, if I, if there was one person that I feel like I could like go up to and like just talk to and like be super chill and not be like super awkward, it would be stone cold Steve Austin. Like he, to me is just like the epitome of like a guy you could sit down and have a beer with and like, just, just feel comfortable like talking to, um, and not feel like I don't feel like he would be like pretentious or anything like that. You know, I like, he's like the one like I, I feel like I would just like love to meet and sit down and kick it with.
00:50:43
Speaker
It'd be pretty awesome. Yeah. All right. Raw is Ryan. This is a hard question. One of our good buddies at Raw is Ryan on Twitter. Take your current WWE title holders and describe them as a meal based on personality.
00:50:59
Speaker
Oh my god. It's so late right now. I don't even have the brain capacity. It's a great question. This is a great question, right? Very creative question. I mean, Brock Lesnar would be like a really tough steak or something. He'd be like a T-bone. Yeah, he'd be like a freaking giant. He'd be like a Tomahawk steak. With potatoes? Like an actual meal? Yeah, he'd be like a man's meal, like a big steak.
00:51:26
Speaker
No, no veggies, no veggies just fucking potatoes and meat maybe even raw maybe both things as raw not even just like a pit bull's mouth, you know, just like a pit bull's like eating a steak and you gotta wrestle it away from us.
00:51:42
Speaker
And then who else do we have? We have Bray Wyatt. Bray Wyatt. Apple Martini maybe or something. I don't know what kind of meals you're eating Phil. I feel like, I feel like, um, Bray Wyatt would be like a golden Corral buffet.
00:51:58
Speaker
like you just you never know what the hell you're gonna get and later what's gonna be out what's gonna be out there and I feel like I feel like you're you're you always you go in and you're you kind of just expect to be disappointed but you might be surprised you know like joke candies that hot topic that like make that like turn your mouth blue or something you know like yeah how about how about Nakamura for intercontinental champion maybe like he's pretty like out there and outlandish maybe like you know
00:52:28
Speaker
when you see like food network where they do like the phone like the foam like you know fancy fufu like one little bite of yeah like gastronomy uh what's it called yeah molecular
WWE Title Holders as Meals
00:52:39
Speaker
gastronomy yeah that that would definitely be that would definitely be yeah not gonna we have the tag chips you want to get on we had andrade yeah andrade
00:52:51
Speaker
Yeah, he'd be a big old plate of fajitas. Oh, yeah. See, I knew you were going to go there. They're sexy. I love me some fajitas. Oh, fajitas are sexy. Yeah, a little Applebee's action. Man, I remember when my little Applebee's face used to be the boss, and you go to Applebee's and order the fajitas, and they come out smoking, walking by everybody in the place. Oh, dude, who got the fajitas? You'd be like, we're over here eating mozzarella sticks and potato bites. This guy's got fajitas. Oh, man, he must have got a promotion at work or something.
00:53:21
Speaker
No, Humberto Carrillo is the Applebee's fajitas. Andrade is like straight up like Plaza Azteca fajitas. There you go. OK. Yeah. What about what about the Kabuki Warriors like a like a like a banh mi sandwich or something or? I don't know. I feel like I feel like the Kabuki Warriors are
00:53:43
Speaker
I don't know what they would be. We need to write this up in an article whenever we can think about it and be witty and not be tired parents. Mojo Raleigh would be like a bag of sour airheads or something.
00:54:05
Speaker
Or how about like a taquito from 7-Eleven? Just like you eat it, but you don't really even like the taste of it, but it's really cheap. Yeah, it's cheap, and it's hot. All right. Cool. Good question, Ryan. That was better than I thought it was going to be. All right. Ellis underscore D underscore zero one on Twitter. I know that elites are the top wrestling figures to collect, but are there any basics that you really like, possibly more than their elite counterparts? Sheena?
WWE Figures: Basic vs. Elite
00:54:33
Speaker
No.
00:54:36
Speaker
the
00:54:53
Speaker
I think the warrior was probably the one that was going to pick the warrior. Me and Marco were like, all elite only. Thank you, Ellis. Eric from Ohio, favorite go-to snack. Lately, I've been a big banana guy. Not to sound perverted or anything.
00:55:12
Speaker
Just like an easy snack that you can pick up and you can walk around the house with and it's not bad for you. It's self-contained. You can throw it in your bag. And then just chewing on pepperonis right out of the bag too. That's a good couch snack. Oh, that is a good one. Sheena? Yeah. My go-to snack is definitely just like eating peanut butter out of the container with a spoon. How do you feel about Nutella?
00:55:39
Speaker
Oh, I fucking love Nutella. It's really good. It's freaking delicious, dude. Like, oh, my God. Yeah. Nutella's Nutella's the shiz. I love any. This is OK. Take don't take this on the Sheena Tron 5000. But I just love any sort of nut butters. You had to laugh at the end there. That's going to screw it up. OK. OK. I love nut butters. OK. Excellent. Marco. There you go. There you go, Zach. Marco.
00:56:09
Speaker
Um, I actually I'm a Cheez-It guy. I love Cheez-Its. Oh man. Oh, for Cheez-It's so good. Yeah, I can eat like a whole box.
00:56:19
Speaker
but that's probably not good for you. If you eat a whole box of cheese, it's so probably like, you know, 8 million grams of sodium. Yeah, definitely. Um, that's pretty much it. I'm not a, I'm not really a snack person per se for some reason. No, no. I, I'm like, I'm like the snack attack dude. Like I, I, I have to have food to like munch on like throughout the day, you know?
00:56:44
Speaker
Yeah, I'm the same way. That's good on you, Marco, for not being a snacker. Thank you. Yeah, I know. Heel husband is not a snacker either, and it bothers me. I'm like, do you want me to get you any snack foods at the grocery? He's like, no, I'm OK. No, I'm fine. That's exactly what he is. Oh, my god. I'm like, you're so annoying. I thought you'd eat with me. Because you want it. So yeah, that's the same way. Brandon from Baltimore, would you rather live inside a country music video or a rap video for the rest of your life?
00:57:11
Speaker
my god a country definitely a country music video i i don't have that i don't have the uh capacity to like hang with like but pouring champagne on my butt crack and stuff anymore like i just like there was a time when there was a time when that was a thing you would do
00:57:30
Speaker
Yeah, circle circle like 2000 and like four or five like, you know I feel like I feel like she she know of that era I could probably get down with some some booty clapping and some Malibu pineapple, you know turning up But yeah anymore I want to be in a country video like, you know just driving a truck down an old dirt road like to a farmhouse and
00:57:55
Speaker
You know, like petting the dog on the way in. That sounds more on my speed these days. Country. I mean, they're just usually they're just having a good time and like drinking by a pool or something. If I haven't seen music video in 20 years, but, you know, rap video, you got it. It's just, you know, I would not fit in. It just be I'm not I'm not tough enough. I'm not cool enough. But I'm going to go opposite of both you guys and I'm going to live in a rap video for the rest of my life.
00:58:19
Speaker
They have fun too. They just really poop and stuff like that. They have fun, but if you had to stay, turn up the whole rest of your life, that's what I'm thinking. Yeah, maybe I could spend one night or a weekend in a rap video, but a whole lifetime.
00:58:35
Speaker
Marco, you probably know what this is. There's a Nicki Minaj video. I don't know if you've ever seen it. I know what it is. I'm not sure. Just tell me what it is. I know what it is. No dudes in the whole video. It's just a Nicki Minaj song and it's just like 40 chicks just on like a yacht. It's supposed to be like a female empowerment type of video, but it's just like
00:59:01
Speaker
That's probably the video I'll send it to you, Sheena. Guys, I can't wait. Greg Angel, marry, fuck, kill. Chinese food, Italian food, Mexican food. Oh, man. OK, so I'm going to kill Chinese food. I would. Oh.
00:59:24
Speaker
I don't know. I would marry Italian food because Italian food is just like warm and like, you know, homey and feel good and then I guess I would like fuck Mexican food because it's just like hot and kind of dirty.
00:59:57
Speaker
I didn't know we had a Dave Meltzer-esque podcast host here with his Asian fetish. I didn't even realize.
01:00:08
Speaker
I mean, that's the food. That's just the food. I didn't want to marry it. Marco? I'm probably the same, marry Italian because I'm half Italian and I love Italian food. So I couldn't kill it or eff it because Italian food is just like family food. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's just, you know, it's going to be there for you when you get home. It's not going to do you any wrong. I'm probably going to copy Phil on this one and just I'm going to
01:00:37
Speaker
No, but just fuck Chinese food and then kill Mexican food. Oh my God. The fact that you guys killed Mexican food really bothers me. If you married it or... It's tough. I mean, it's a tough choice. I'm trying to think of what one you would get sick of. I think I might get sick of Italian food first because it's kind of the same, like it's just everything with sauce, at least with Chinese food they have, you know,
01:01:01
Speaker
chicken and beef. Yeah, I love Chinese food. I do too. I love all of them, but I mean Italian food, it's just kind of everything has sauce on it. There's not really, there's like some good like chicken, like you can do a chicken cacciatore or chicken parmesan or something, but. Yeah. Don't let the Italian, I'm sorry to anybody, I know Marco's half Italian, but to any Italians out there, don't let him offend you with his like ragu speech.
01:01:23
Speaker
I'm Italian Phil. Not every, not your Italian Phil? A little bit. Yeah. I got some in me. A little bit. I've had some in me before. I've had some Italian in me once or twice. Yeah. Oh my God. I saw the godfather once, you know. All right. Let's keep, let's keep going here. Keep it moving. At Hasbro WWE and another good follow on Twitter. If Mattel lost the WWE license tomorrow, what company would you like to see pick it up? Let's rapid fire. I'm going to say Hasbro. NECA. NECA. Okay.
01:01:53
Speaker
NACA, probably NACA. At Jon Betts, why do we still not have a Lord Alfred Hayes figure after all these years? Probably because nobody would buy it. I just don't think he was a big enough attraction to people, unless you did like him. It's definitely a collector's figure, for sure.
01:02:10
Speaker
Uh, at sweatpants, Joe, another good follow on Twitter. Uh, when is ringside going to give us a Mike Shaw four pack of Bastion booger, Friar Ferguson, Norman, the lunatic and Mark and sing. I don't know. I know what Bastion booger is. I just had to read that because he sent it in.
01:02:26
Speaker
That's never gonna happen either, but it'll be pretty cool. Jose Sanchez at DSB underscore 1V. If you were to have a celebrity figure based on a WWE appearance,
01:02:56
Speaker
that's the easiest answer I'm sorry
01:03:00
Speaker
It is, it is the easiest answer, but I would say Mike Tyson with like, uh, removable, like wads of money that fall out of his jacket. That's what I'm just like, I would have like, you know, rolled up like a hundred dollar bills that like, you know, are an accessory or maybe Dennis Rodman.
01:03:17
Speaker
Yeah, Dennis Robin figure would be would be pretty mage. You know, when Mike Tyson was a kid, he used to help old ladies into his building and like help carry their groceries. And then he would like basically knock them down and steal all their shit. What? Yeah, as a kid, as a kid, like, you know, he was like, you know, he talked about that. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, he was a nice guy. I would go. I'm going to go a little obscure and go with that. I'm a Schwarzenegger.
01:03:47
Speaker
because, uh, okay, he knocked our Triple H. Remember on smack down. Um, yeah. Arnold Schwarzenegger. He isn't. I believe he's in the hall of fame. Okay. The celebrity wing. But yeah, I'm going to go with Arnold and he can have the, uh, the big blue belt. Cause he actually held that up too. So you can see a big blue belts everywhere. We can add another one to the collection.
01:04:11
Speaker
could do them, uh, use the Mabel figure and make a Donald Trump, um, figure Donald Trump. Yeah. Cindy Lauper would be a cool figure. I would like, I would like to see a Cindy Lauper. Um, you know, Brock Reynolds, Pee Wee Herman.
01:04:29
Speaker
Yeah, the possibilities are in with Dave. What's his name? Oh, my God. Scream Dewey. Officer Dewey. Oh, David Arquette. David Arquette. Yeah. All right. Let's we got two more questions here. These are getting pretty good. Russell, Russell Geddon Pod at Russell Geddon Pod on Twitter. The tell lets you have control of picking talent for an elite series. What six would you include? Who would be the chase and the store exclusive?
01:04:57
Speaker
Oh man, I don't know. I feel like we've answered this a million times. Yeah. There's like a, uh, there's like a, I mean, there's like a million possibilities here. Um, I'll let, um, yeah, yeah, definitely Owen heart. I would definitely, uh, want a gobbledygooker figure. That's I've never, I've never given up hope on, uh, on the gobbledygooker, um, elite series. What sticks would you include Marco? You have anybody we'll each pick too. Um, I'm going to go. We need another brother. Love.
01:05:27
Speaker
at some point. And a Jake the Snake, what would they do with?
01:05:36
Speaker
Another Jake to say a little like little burlap like a bag like an actual cloth bag you put a little snake in there and stuff like that'd be pretty cool. Does he not have a bag in his elite with his elite figures with this? I don't remember. I think he just has like a big like a you know. A big snake definitely yeah I don't think they don't think there's a bag that I remember anyway it could be wrong.
01:05:59
Speaker
But if there is, I thought there, I think there is, dude. I, my, my memory is escaping me, but I want to say maybe his legends, his legends figure came with a, uh, a bag for, for the snake, but either way, um, so Jake, the snake, I would like to see, Oh shit. Well, I guess we got a new Rick rude coming. Um, I was going to say Rick rude, but I don't know what you got, Phil.
01:06:24
Speaker
I'm just trying to find this Nicki Minaj video. I just can't do that in my mind now. I'm going to say Owen Hart. And I would have said Night Hart, but we're already getting one of those. I don't know. Maybe Jesse the Body of Ventura. Do like an announcer version. You know, you'd have all the announcers then, because you've got Hina, and you've got Mean Jean, everybody.
01:06:47
Speaker
Uh, last question at J T W for life. Are there any specific aspirations that you wish to come to fruition regarding the podcast and your team in the coming year? Any podcast specials, events, merchandise, et cetera. Many blessings to all. This is a good ending question. Thank you, Jay. Uh, Sheena, we'll take it.
01:07:08
Speaker
Yeah. Aspirations for the podcast. One, this year is going to be kind of a crazy year just because of the situation that we're in with Seth being deployed and all that kind of stuff and it just kind of making my life kind of tricky. But I would love for our
01:07:24
Speaker
Audience to grow and things like that and like our community our facebook community especially to grow in the in the coming year Because we just have such a good time over there. We have such a close-knit community We're already planning like meetups and stuff like that. So that's definitely on my bucket list I would love to do like some chick foley Meetups at live events and things like that and just to really get to know the people that we talk to on social media Every single day, so I would love to like meet those people in person So that's definitely on the bucket list for 2020 and 2021
01:07:53
Speaker
Since we're you know in the 20s now, and we're not in the 2000s anymore But yeah, I would also I Were definitely getting some new some new merch up Phil's been working with our buddy at extra cooler Nick at extra cooler To get some new some new t-shirt designs for our pro wrestling tea shop And I would love to have like a an enamel pin to like a chick Foley enamel pin
01:08:18
Speaker
That's definitely on my on my merch list. I mean, we already got like we already got crew chalk line jackets. So I feel like we kind of like peek the mountaintop for ourselves as far as like, you know, cool, cool merch for ourself. But for the fans of the show, I would love to get some some pins and some some new shirts out for you guys.
01:08:35
Speaker
Yes, for sure. Good stuff. I agree with all of those. I think we're going to announce it probably in the next week or so, but I guess we can say it here that we're in the early, early stages of getting a meetup together for SummerSlam up in Boston in Marco's neck of the woods. So if you're in the area or if you can travel and you want to split a hotel room with me, you know, let me know. I think she's going to try to make the trip up depending on
01:08:58
Speaker
on family situations, so that would be pretty fun to hang out and drink beers and talk wrestling with everybody. I'm hoping that we can continue to grow the podcast. I'd like to get to 300 reviews on iTunes. If you haven't reviewed us yet, give us a nice five-star review.
01:09:15
Speaker
It's very helpful there. And if you want to grab your fiance or your husband or wife or brother or mother or dad's phone and do the same thing you can, that would be helpful. Just continue to grow, grab some sponsors, continue to get some cool stuff, some cool guests. I enjoy doing the interviews on the Patreon, on the Chick Foley Lounge. So hopefully we can keep doing that and doing some unboxings and continue to grow the community and have fun. What about you, Marco?
01:09:44
Speaker
This is a huge aspiration, but we, we should definitely consider trying to get on the WWE podcast network. That's the ultimate goal, right? That's the goal for 2021 at least not this year, but maybe next year we'll try to do that. But yeah.
Podcast Growth and Sponsorship
01:10:00
Speaker
Um, yeah, no, like everything you guys said in more just, um, trying to grow the podcast and, you know, get some more listeners, get some more sponsors and stuff like that. Can't wait till we announce our.
01:10:13
Speaker
our next sponsor, which is not going to spoil it. But I feel like we had the big time with this one. So I think that's the gateway to like just doors are just going to open up like like notice in the Red Sea. Absolutely. We're just going to walk down that that I'll be definitely, definitely big things.
01:10:33
Speaker
Yeah, and I would like to partner with some other podcasts. You know, I mean, I've had some people reach out to me and stuff like that and like about coming on and, you know, I'm like, I can't even make time for my own show at the moment. So like, I like, I would love to like be a guest. So, you know, I've got all these people that are wanting to talk to us and things like that. So I'm, I'm excited to like, you know, switch back and forth and like, you know, talk to people on their podcasts and you know, them come on our show and stuff like that.
Exciting Interviews and Q&A Plans
01:10:55
Speaker
And then we have the chick fully lounge where Phil's doing his interviews and stuff. Um, and I know we have some really awesome guests lined up for that. So I'm super excited.
01:11:04
Speaker
Awesome. Cool. That was good shit. I think we should do this maybe every four or five months, every half a year. We'll get some questions from you guys. We should do it where we don't have 20 questions at the, you know what I mean? We should do it more frequently so that we only have eight to nine questions. There you go. We're an hour and 15 minutes now, so that would probably be good. Just get some quick extra content out for people.
01:11:28
Speaker
And we appreciate all you guys' opinions and stuff. If you have any ideas, I'm like, hey, I wish you guys would do, you know, I want to do some watch-along stuff with us, the three of us, if we can watch some matches. But if you have any ideas of stuff that you'd like to see and content that you'd like us to make, you know, definitely give us a holler. Five brains are better than three brains or whatever you want to say.
01:11:49
Speaker
That's it. We're going to record another episode here, but thank you guys for listening. Thank you for being Patreon subscribers, and we will talk to you guys soon. Stay classy, Marx.
