Introduction and Election Night Wrestling Jokes
00:00:35
Speaker
Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Predetermined, a pro wrestling hangout. I'm your host, Garrett Callender, and with me as always, Chris Miggs.
00:00:43
Speaker
I'm here, Garrett. As we record this, it's it's election night. But it's like I'm in a control room on election night. But again, it's like I'm Sean Moody. So really, the only election that could be up here is is for control of the WWF. You know, will Jack's honey win again? I don't know. Well, I live in a very disappointing state. So anybody who listens to this,
00:01:14
Speaker
Yeah, as the results are coming in, you're going to hear me a little sad and somebody listening, though, is just going to be like, I I enjoyed the comedy of the podcast and I felt like I owned a lib tonight.
Political Ads and Wrestling Influence on Voting
00:01:28
Speaker
I will say, again, credit to Pro Wrestling TV, the streaming service for being the first of anything that with ads to show me the Republican gubernatorial candidates ads in New York.
00:01:44
Speaker
because quite frankly, again, I was feeling, you know, I knew which way I was voting, but I was feeling pretty apathetic about it. And then I saw an ad for this guy, several ads actually, they showed me like his whole, like a whole package of ads. It was like one after another. And I was like, I gotta, I gotta go fucking vote, this guy's scary.
00:02:06
Speaker
how all of them end up being. I mean, if these were wrestling promos, there is a clear badass person and a clear fucking goober in each one. Because in one, the guy's like, do you fucking hate everybody and want no one to have rights? Here's a machine gun, bitch. And then my guy's wearing a suit. And I'm like, no one's going to root for suit guy. Machine gun guy's got a machine gun.
00:02:35
Speaker
happening yeah the democratic candidate that would have her ads popped up on pro wrestling tv too and it was just like we've brought jobs to the state and the other guys like i'm gonna protect your family because the evil people are here to do terrible things much better promo
00:02:53
Speaker
But again, not not what I want for governor. It's not good for him having a good promo, but you know. Oh, yeah, I'm not praising them. I mean, I am agreeing like they're scary. But you know what? Like I don't want boogeyman is my governor. Mm hmm.
Wrestlers as Political Candidates?
00:03:09
Speaker
Like if, okay, that's what we should just fucking out crazy them, but without guns. Cause we aren't the gun people. What if we are just like, we do get Boogeyman to run and one guy's like, I got a fucking gun. And our guy's like, I'll eat a handful of worms. It could work. It could work. We don't know Boogeyman's policies, politics. I feel like Boogeyman's on the right side of the history, right? Maybe he should run against Kane in Tennessee.
00:03:38
Speaker
It just, I wanted to get weirder and weirder. Like that's like, I'm the guy with a snake. I'm the guy. I don't, it is. It's also retrospectively weird now that I'm thinking about it. I'm pretty sure I first saw those ads on a women's wrestling army show, which to have the guy who's like, I'm taking away the right to abortions as the ads on the women's wrestling army show may indicate that. Well, at least our targeting do note.
00:04:07
Speaker
At least our listeners know now that you support our troops. That's true. That's true. I always there should have been a fucking I needed a band behind me to do it because of army. It didn't land. They don't all land. I'm leaving it in, though.
00:04:26
Speaker
Look, we support the troops on predetermined. We're glad they don't have to watch like a WWE show every year anymore. That seemed like it was a bummer for them. And we're glad that no one had to get deployed to Saudi Arabia to protect the show this weekend. Well, where are the women's wrestling army fighting out of?
00:04:52
Speaker
They're fighting. They're fighting against I support those troops, too. Yeah, they're fighting again. Well, that's what I meant. Yeah. Oh, they're fighting the patriarchy.
00:05:02
Speaker
Who would you, I know we're gonna get into Saudi Arabia here in a second. Of the current, let's go WWE, let's go AEW. Who would you want to be your governor? If you had to choose a WWE wrestler to be current, current. I don't wanna, I feel like you get into the old guys, you get into more problems. I feel like with the current generation. Well, and if you're going, again, if you're going old guys, there's a very obvious answer, which is of course The Rock.
00:05:33
Speaker
It's just too easy. Oh, it's clearly the right answer. He'd be great. I mean, yeah, I'd like to think he would be great. I think like he makes us think he would be good at it. Isn't that what most of the job's about? But what if once he gets in there, it's just like, he's like, you're probably, he's like, Garrett, I'm going to do some things and it might make you not want to see skyscraper too.
00:06:05
Speaker
Um, let's see of current WWE guys. Now, this is governor, he said. Um, yeah, I mean, just yeah, I guess because of what's like being voted on today. Yeah. Today's election. I went governor because I'm like Logan Paul could be like a congressman or something, but I wouldn't want him being governor. Um,
00:06:37
Speaker
Let's see. Here's, here's one out there. I feel like I trust Kofi Kingston for some reason. My mind went to Xavier Woods. There you go. The new day, the new day. One's governor, one's lieutenant governor.
00:06:52
Speaker
See, that's who you put out there. You got machine gun guy blowing up a trash can, and then you've got New Day coming out throwing pancakes. Who you gonna vote for? That's Democrats should be throwing pancakes. That's the answer there, I think.
00:07:08
Speaker
Tossing pancakes, playing the trombone, you know? Is Big E still out? I assume he's still out. He's still out, yeah. Because he was hurt at the very beginning of this year, I think, and they said it's going to be like at least a year, last I heard. Well, I did. Speaking of the New Day, are you a celebrity Wheel of Fortune fan?
00:07:33
Speaker
No, but I enjoy, I mean, Wheel of Fortune in the general sense, I would watch Wheel of Fortune.
00:07:39
Speaker
So on, there isn't regular Wheel of Fortune on Hulu, but celebrity Wheel of Fortune is. And the other day, Xavier Woods was on there. Xavier Woods, Steve Agee, and someone else. And he was so fucking excited to be there. You could tell that like this was, I really liked his enthusiasm. And it was weird though, cause they kept going back and forth between his real name and
00:08:05
Speaker
his, uh, his WWE name. But I did see on his Instagram that he brought his original Nintendo copy of the Wheel of Fortune video game from when he was a kid and got Pat and Vanna to sign it. Aw.
00:08:21
Speaker
And that just, I don't know, there was something about that that just seems like a hard two autographs to get that he like has something he can display on his wall now. He was like, I just kept looking for them at the conventions, but they just weren't there. Pat Say, I don't know. I never noticed he's kind of an asshole. Pat Sayjack is like a complete heel on that show.
00:08:45
Speaker
And I'm just imagining he's just gotten saltier as he's gotten older. Once you see that many people fail at like basic logic, you're just like, God damn. How many? OK, so the show will have been on 40 years next year. How many episodes do you think Pat Sajak has filmed of that? Because I looked it up over the weekend and I do have the answer. 40 years.
00:09:13
Speaker
It's assumed like a hundred episodes a year or something, like 4,000s like that? Over 7,600 episodes. Oh my god. That is a man that like, no matter how easy your job is, you like will eventually hate your job. Yeah, no one can do anything 7,600 times and not hate that thing at the end.
00:09:40
Speaker
Like, I bet if we go back to season one, he's like, oh man, you didn't get it. And then like, if people talk a little too long, he like would talk. But now he's like speed it the fuck up. This is a half hour show and daddy's gotta get home and traffic's bad. Here's what I'm curious about though. You gotta think he's made a lot of money doing this. Did he just sign like a very bad contract at some point? And he's like, it's a lifetime contract. Like Pat, do you need to do this anymore? It's a lifetime contract.
00:10:10
Speaker
contract until they cancel the show. I have to keep doing this or else I have to give back millions of dollars and I just refuse to. So I'm just here. It's more of a he traded his
Analyzing Title Matches: Nick Gage vs. Roman Reigns
00:10:24
Speaker
soul for Alf Pogg's situation. This is where he is for the rest of his life. It's the same as Dolph Ziggler's deal with WWE. Now there as a senator,
00:10:40
Speaker
Ooh, I don't know. You think old ramen hair wouldn't... I don't think he's friendly enough. I don't think he's friendly enough. I don't think he's... He's not engaged. I don't know. My wife once ran into Dolph Ziggler in a bar. She tried to talk to him about total divas. He like, no sold it. I was like, fuck you, Dolph Ziggler. Really? Yeah. Man, that is... Fuck. Yeah. Like, what...
00:11:09
Speaker
So why did I root for him that survivor series? What a dickhead. Great question. Great question. Yeah, we were in a comedy. He was friendly with someone I did a lot of sketch stuff with who actually who used to be a writer for WWE for a time period, which is how they probably met each other. And yes, he was just there at the show and we were at the bar afterwards and it was like I was like, I'm going to just tell him I really like Total Divas. I was like, you go for that. I don't know.
00:11:39
Speaker
And he was a dickhead, so. And I went to one of his comedy shows at UCB in LA. This would have been like maybe 2014, 15, somewhere around there. They were doing I think the Staples Center. I think it was the night before the one where Lesnar just like took John Cena to Suplex City. But Ziegler put on this comedy show and it was fucking awful.
00:12:08
Speaker
but in the front row was Cody Rhodes. And at some point he heckled the show, because it was really bad.
00:12:20
Speaker
I always knew I liked Cody. Cause he's like, you could tell he was fucking bored and he's like wasting a night in LA being at this comedy show. Being a good friend. Being a friend and he's like, you told me to come cause somebody had a good impression of my dad. This is what, this is what you brought me here for.
00:12:41
Speaker
Because whoever was doing Dusty was like, it was a poor Dusty impression. And it's not hard to do a decent Dusty. I think literally every wrestling fan has like a C plus at worst Dusty. It's just a very easy, you get through the lift daddy, you know? And it's just like, it's not that hard to get in the, I mean, it's not a great, again, I don't have a great Dusty, but everyone's got an okay Dusty.
00:13:09
Speaker
To have a great Dusty has to be amazing. So you're saying this guy is worse than average Dusty.
00:13:15
Speaker
And at UCB, we're like, these guys are being trained, you know? What is happening? You know, OK. You know who also the other one you mentioned, friends with them, the real answer probably. Well, Governor Cody, I think Cody would make a solid governor. Ms. Ms. is from Ohio. So I mean, they're pretty crazy. They're like, like Ms. could be the right guy for Ohio. Cody could be the right guy for Georgia. I don't know.
00:13:44
Speaker
If you had all of the Ohio wrestlers running for office, then you would have Miz, Mox, and 4-4-0. And I guess they would be like the independent party, just covered in glass with shit sticking out of their face. I don't know, is that, I don't, are they the Ross Perot of the running for office?
00:14:10
Speaker
I imagine the 4-4-0 is like Mox's street team. You know what I mean? They're like, they're like doing, uh, like work for him, like, you know, on, you know, find the right voters, maybe intimidating some of the opposite side. The Bebs out there. Oh, fuck. Okay. Hey, we're going to get sad if we keep talking politics. Um,
00:14:37
Speaker
Let's talk something less said Saudi Arabia. You had a good transition earlier, but I wasn't going to watch this, Garrett. And and then and then you said something that I felt the need to make use of my peacock subscription to test. You said that Logan Paul is currently your favorite WWE wrestler.
Logan Paul's Skills in the Ring
00:15:06
Speaker
I think that might be true. And I got to say, I don't, I'm not sure if he's my favorite WWE wrestler, but he's, he's really good at this. He's dude. It doesn't make sense. He is three for three now. And like the matches in his three matches have gotten better of what like it started baseline good.
00:15:34
Speaker
And then the SummerSlam match, match of the night. Like we will always remember the Lesnar Tractor thing, but that Logan Paul match was fucking good. Will we remember the Lesnar Tractor thing forever?
00:15:46
Speaker
I'd forgotten it, frankly, before you mentioned it. So I guess I was sitting there and watched a tractor tippling over in that area. Like, that's gonna be more memorable. Like, I think, I mean, if you go back to that show, I think that's gonna be the show the tractor thing happens. Sure, sure. But yeah, yeah, Logan Paul, I mean, I mentioned, I watched the video package first, it was very, very long.
00:16:08
Speaker
And very confusing because Logan Paul's like, I'm going to hit one luck. I can, he's like, I can beat Roman Reigns and like, okay, cool. He just, he's just very confident. And he's like, I can do it with one lucky punch. And it's like, okay. So he's not confident. He just thinks he has a big punch, but then it's not a lucky punch because he's knocking people out with it. He's also clearly very good at this. So the whole overall angle, the actual like TV leading up to this seemed like it was very confusing, but once they got out there.
00:16:36
Speaker
The matches just is actually made a total sense, right? Logan Paul is shockingly good at this for someone who's had three matches. Reigns has been champ for two years and is thus a little bit overconfident. And you'd think that Reigns would be better, but also Logan Paul is just good enough that he has a shot to win, even though he's only been doing this three times.
00:16:59
Speaker
And it kind of worked. I mean, again, my problems with the match had nothing to do with Logan Paul. They were all like WWE trope things that didn't really work and were kind of silly. But he was just good all the way through. I know what to say. For real, if you cut out all the fuckery, that would have been just a start to finish good match.
00:17:26
Speaker
I so I missed the story. I was carrying Aussie in to give him a bottle. I was like, Oh, I bet it we're getting close to main event time clicked on peacock. And it just so happened they had both were in the ring and they had just like I turned it on as they rung the bell. So I only saw the match. And
00:17:48
Speaker
not knowing the story, I had a great time. And man, that dude's athleticism is pretty wild. I don't know if I've seen a wrestler that can just jump as high as him. I know that's a weird thing where it's like, I like him because he jumped so high, but he jumped so fucking high, Chris. Well, I'm just on the whole, right?
00:18:12
Speaker
when you have celebrity wrestlers, there's always that moment where you're like, you can kind of see the seams in the match, right? Like where they're setting something up or they're just awkward. They don't move well or.
00:18:23
Speaker
There's a moment where they're of indecision and it really lacked those, right? It just seemed like a very good wrestling match. He just seems like a very good wrestler all the way through. He did apparently did a good chunk of the match with a torn up knee, which is even more impressive because he had to have done a bunch of spots with a torn up knee. Um, and again, look great.
00:18:45
Speaker
doing them because all he's doing the majority of his shit is high flying stuff or at least once you hit a certain point in the match is just like kind of high spots and if he tore that halfway through which he said he tore his meniscus his ACL and his MCL
00:18:59
Speaker
That, like, I would be hobbled for years. And he went on to do the greatest buckshot lariat I've ever seen in a ring. I think the buckshot's relatively, the buckshot might've been before he tore it, but he certainly did that really good frog splash. And maybe he did that spot onto the table with a torn up knee. Yeah, he's...
00:19:26
Speaker
You're right. Also, there's kind of an interesting thing about him from a wrestling character perspective, right? Which is that he's a fairly large man, height wise especially, who's like a reasonable looking high spot guy.
00:19:44
Speaker
who also credibly has a knockout punch. He's kind of got like a very unique skill sets, the wrong word, but like move set, right? He's a very interesting character as a wrestler, just because there's a lot of things that don't are sort of unique pairings within the same guy. And it's kind of cool. I think that's maybe one of the reasons why you're responding to me. Like I haven't seen a guy do this, you know,
00:20:13
Speaker
Well, some of the stuff he's doing, it almost feels like he's using AJ Styles' moveset with some of the stuff. Like he's doing a lot of like phenomenal forearm-esque things. But when you're seeing a guy who's like,
00:20:28
Speaker
I don't know how tall is Logan Paul? Six, four. However, six something tall. And when you see that guy and when he jumps, he gets so high in the air. Like, I've never seen somebody so high up for a phenomenal forearm. And just when you see the screenshots of it, not like when it's happening, it's fantastic. But just the screenshots, like, I don't know. That guy is like he's something special, even from the beginning.
00:20:56
Speaker
Because you're thinking, there's no reason I should ever believe that this guy can beat Roman Reigns.
00:21:02
Speaker
And one of the first moves in the match is he body slams Roman Reigns. And it just, I don't know, they both sold the possibility of that being a real thing that could happen so well that I was legitimately, I mean, I didn't think there was any way that this is going to be where Roman Reigns lost his title, but they did start to make you question it a little bit. Like, oh, are we really gonna, cause the half the crowd was chanting for Logan Paul over Roman Reigns.
00:21:32
Speaker
Guy's very popular. Millions of YouTube subscribers, apparently. Never watched a single video, me personally, but you know. Yeah, he's. He also, I think, has a. Because the boxing background, that kind of helps the credibility in terms of like. Again, if you're not thinking too hard, like about Cape Abe stuff, right?
00:21:58
Speaker
He could fight, right? So that gift gives him sort of a theoretical chance in the match. It doesn't seem that implausible. It didn't seem that implausible to me that he could beat Reigns, right? It seemed like kind of a long shot just because Reigns has been doing this for two years and is clearly, you know, like their top guy.
00:22:17
Speaker
within the match, the structure of the match, it seemed like, oh, this is plausible that he could win this. He's not so outmatched and outgunned that he couldn't beat the best guy, which is...
00:22:31
Speaker
You know, again, it didn't seem like it was a like a Buster Doug. I think Michael Cole specifically called it like Buster Douglas Mike Tyson or like Rocky against Apollo Creed or something. And it's like, no, he's just new to this. Like he's very good at athletics. He's just new to this thing. And that I think they drew the comparison, the Lesnar winning the heavyweight title in his third UFC fight, which actually seemed like a reasonable comparison to me, right, that Lesnar
00:23:00
Speaker
had competed in other sports and amateur wrestling and football and stuff before, um, going into UFC and obviously pro wrestling too. And that like, yeah, could he, the question is like, can he translate into wrestling? And the, the answer is yes. And obviously just, just didn't win the title. I don't know how frequently they can get the guy. That's part of the interesting thing with him is like, obviously he's got a lot of shit going on, but I don't know. You get the guy three times a year. How many more times do we need to see him wrestle? I guess I.
00:23:30
Speaker
Did he's, I thought at some point he signed like a legitimate WWE contract though, where he's like just part of the roster. But I guess that's not, that can't be true because he's only wrestled three times. So I mean, unless they're doing like a Ronda Rousey save him for special shows. Yeah. You got to think he's got something that's at least like a Brock type deal where like he's got X number of matches per year. It's not a lot, but
00:24:00
Speaker
It's got me excited about the potential of him in a Cody match. I feel like those two, I mean, there are people now that I would like to see look and ball wrestle that I think could be interesting. And I think Cody could tell a good story and put on a good match. So I think down the line, if we can get that, I would not be opposed to seeing that. Yeah, I would be certainly, Cody could tell a story with the guy. And Cody loves talking about family.
00:24:31
Speaker
and Logan Paul apparently has a brother. Well, his brother is the boxer. Right, and he's one very famous YouTube guy, right? I mean, like. Yes, and his brother is kind of on a, as far as I'm not a huge boxing fan, but like I kind of, you know, see in the news what's going on. It seems like he's on a tour of beating up old boxers, or not even necessarily boxers, but old fighters. Right.
00:24:57
Speaker
Which everybody's like, cool, he beat the shit out of Anderson Silva. It's like, well, isn't, what's the other Paul boys name? Logan. Well, Logan, Jake, Jake, Jake, uh, Logan way better, uh, working punch than Jake Paul. His really bad working punches.
00:25:18
Speaker
I mean, I kind of just wish that part hadn't happened. But if you just stuck with just just Roman versus Logan, it was pretty fucking good. And well, that's the other the other thing about my favorite of the year. I don't know how if I go how high it would rank on my top of the year list. That's actually a good question because it hasn't been like the best year.
00:25:43
Speaker
It hasn't. And that's like, this is one of the first matches that I feel like I have told people to go out of their way and watch this year. But I mean, was it better than like mocks against Danielson either time? Hmm. That's funny. I was in the room for the first one and like,
00:26:04
Speaker
I still was more excited. Like yeah, that was good. I had fun, but I don't know that I, I expected that to be good. I think there's something about MJF. See, I haven't rewatched that pay-per-view and.
00:26:21
Speaker
In
Top Wrestling Matches of the Year
00:26:22
Speaker
person, that match didn't play as well for me. I think that's a match that would have worked substantially better with seeing different camera angles and getting closer up and getting to see the camera move, getting to hear the announcers tell the story. I think occasionally there is a match that it does hurt it being in person for it. And for me, that was one of them, where I expected to love that match.
00:26:48
Speaker
And it was pretty good in person, but I feel like it just would have elevated it, seen it on TV. Was it better than Beastman against Janela?
00:27:02
Speaker
See, that that's hard to say because we hyped that match for weeks and it did live to the hype. I actually think I'm wondering like what is the match of the year this year? It might be it might be FTR Brisco's one still as I'm thinking about it. That's a pretty strong contender, I think, still at this point. New Japan has had a lot of good stuff, but I'm not sure anything that really hits at the level.
00:27:31
Speaker
as the FTR matches. As I said, the Logan Paul match being one of the best, I realized I immediately didn't have an answer for some of my favorites of the year even. I don't wanna say this year's felt like a little throw away, but nothing has stood out. I mean, fuck, Mox did have some good shit this year though, but I feel like he just consistently was putting on good things.
00:28:00
Speaker
But they, I don't know. It wasn't like it was all the same. I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to have to sit down and think about this and instead of just a stream of conscious on a podcast. Yeah, no, I actually am. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm curious now to break down and look and go like, OK, what was like, what were the best matches this year? Yeah, that and that had like a big enough impact, too, because again, I do come back to the idea that just being really good, if it didn't reach a certain level,
00:28:30
Speaker
Oh, June Kasai in Desperado. Kinda interesting. But that's I think part of the thing too is I feel like this year the great matches have been kind of...
00:28:43
Speaker
very different from one another. I'm thinking about things that I like and I'm like, how do you compare June Kasai and Desperado to FTR versus the Briscoes to Logan Paul versus Roman Reigns and like in Saudi Arabia? Like those are all different things. I think that June Kasai would be happy that his name's in the conversation.
00:29:09
Speaker
Did you see, speaking of Despy, did you see Despy tweeted out, there was some match he wanted. It was gonna be him and somebody else versus Reena and another person. And he's like, this is a match I really want. And then he said, GCW should book this this year. So it sounds like Despy wants more, he wants like a tag team death match. And yes, yes, please. But in GCW,
00:29:38
Speaker
NGCW. I really want DCW Desperado. We need it. Oh my God. What if he did the NGI? That would be fun. Man, yeah, I don't think he should do a whole tournament. I do like keeping him doing this a little special, but I think him showing up to a GZW show, I mean, we already have the thing, but that's a pay-per-view I would have paid to see outside of now just having access to all of them.
00:30:07
Speaker
Yeah, I really I just I really love to see like. Desperado against Alex Cologne or something. Oh, yeah. Oh, last week we had discussed pops and going to St. Louis to that venue. Did you see a tag team that was added to the pop show?
00:30:30
Speaker
I don't know that that's your triple threat tag team. OK, it is Los Masisos second gear crew. And two cold Scorpio and the Sandman. Oh, snap. What a tag team because they teamed together in they were their former ECW World Tag Team champions.
00:30:53
Speaker
No, I did not know this. I just thought it was a fun bearing. No, they and I think we mentioned a few weeks ago that if you go back and listen to old shoot interviews, Scorp in the Sandman. They like they like to tag team sometimes out of the ring as well. Oh, no. I ooh. Yucky. Yeah.
00:31:16
Speaker
Yucky. They're going to have a lot. You said that Pops is literally next to multiple strip clubs. It is it is sandwiched between them. If the Sandman doesn't get arrested that night, the night's going to be a disappointment. You know, Janelle is going to that show hoping he can get arrested with the Sandman and two cold Scorpio. He's like, this is how this is how I complete my goal as a wrestler, as a wrestler, is to get arrested with the Sandman. And one of the most dangerous cities in America.
00:31:49
Speaker
Oh, my God. Well, in tag, a friend of the show was telling me that he said something about Sandman might be sober now. I don't think anything is going to test somebody sobriety like being it pops on a Saturday night or whatever. Do you think Sandman now is just like carrying the CM Punk sack of spinny's?
00:32:17
Speaker
He's gonna have the GCW press conference after. He's pouring spin drifts in his mouth and smashing me into that. Like I said, we talked about that. That's the future for Sandman.
00:32:34
Speaker
vegan Sandman or like just liberal Sandman. I don't know what you want to call this character, but he is going to have seltzer waters and he will recycle those cans when he's done. Still living Sandman. That's what we. God, this is becoming more and more a show that I'm like, it's only a five hour drive. To go to a place that is very beloved to me to.
Anticipation for GCW Show
00:33:04
Speaker
Let's be clear, drink with a party with the Sandman and two cold Scorpio in a strip club. And Ali catch, Nick Gage is going to be there. I mean, it's, I imagine Gage at a strip club has to be great, right? Because there's no way he doesn't give the strippers motivational speeches that their jobs aren't. Unsimilar. No, not at all.
00:33:28
Speaker
like a kind of, I don't want to say thankless, but like an unusual way to make money that does bring joy to a lot of people that does have a stigma against it.
00:33:47
Speaker
I don't know. I see now we're getting into like an A-24 movie. This is like Nick. Actually, I think it's just the wrestler. It's literally the wrestler. Yeah. No, he's like he is not giving in that movie. He is not giving inspirational speeches to Marisa Tomei. No, no, he is not. And but he is hanging out with the Necro butcher.
00:34:11
Speaker
It's true. It's true. It is interesting to me, though, Garrett, that over the last week, you've watched two world title matches, one involving Nick Gage, one involving Roman Reigns and Logan Paul. And the one you told me I had to watch did not involve Nick Gage. Who am I? Who are you, Garrett?
00:34:32
Speaker
Who are you? You're a dad. Apparently War Horse is going to be a dad, too. Do you see this? Yeah, that's nice. That's just that just I don't know. There's something that feels right. Yeah. Yeah. I think he's teamed up with Dan the dad in the past. Yeah, they're both St. Louis guys. Dan the dad's giving him advice. Those are promos I want to see. Dan the dad gives War Horse parenting advice.
00:34:59
Speaker
That's maybe that should be a segment we do on the show. We start pulling in a wrestled ads. Yeah, I mean, that's talking about parenting. I'm always always willing to do that. It takes up with a really incredible part of your brain. So at this point, it's really my brain is like. It's like a high percentage parenting and a high percentage wrestling. There's really not room for much else. It's kind of incredible that I can keep a job.
00:35:29
Speaker
It's mostly parenting, mostly wrestling. There is a good section of Beef King in there. I used my Beef King over the weekend and made some steaks for my parent friends.
Beef King Seasoned Steaks Appreciation
00:35:46
Speaker
Because normally we just order pizza on Friday nights for the kids. But I was like, I'm bored with that.
00:35:52
Speaker
Don't that's we got it. We got to do better. So I went out. I got some steaks and covered them in Beef King. And everyone was delighted with it. Everyone was like these. These were not wrestle friends. No. And do they know how you feel about wrestling? Like I think they're they're aware that I took Maddie to a wrestling show. Their response seemed I guess bemused would be the best word.
00:36:21
Speaker
Did anyone say, wow, the seasoning on this? And you have to explain the seasoning. I didn't go. Yeah, I mean, move too quickly. But people did say, wow, there's a real like like a nice like a crust to these. And it's like, yeah, it's got beef king on. You know, the beef king really helps you get a nice crust on your steak. And I
00:36:52
Speaker
It's great, you know? It's significantly better than those episodes of Control Your Narrative that you and I watched this weekend. Wrong, wrong. I mean, okay, I can't say, because I haven't had the Beef King. We watched together what we thought was going to be a full episode, but ended up being pretty much just a match or two, right? Yeah.
00:37:19
Speaker
Control Your Narrative has a series on pro wrestling TV that looks like it was like hour long episodes, but it's not. It's like a 20 or 15 minute episode. Kind of by the name of it.
Surreal Moments in 'Control Your Narrative'
00:37:38
Speaker
But there's 20, 50 minutes and then there is followed by a. Like a podcast about the episode. Not a.
00:37:49
Speaker
I don't want to say not a great podcast because I want that narrator on our podcast. But yeah, so something happened in one of these episodes, Chris, that has not left my brain. This has stuck with me through the weekend and beyond because we're now recording on Tuesday.
00:38:13
Speaker
I don't even remember who the match was with because it was just so phenomenal what happened. And the fact that this didn't happen in episode one, that they waited till the third Control Your Narrative show to make this happen. It was Steve Macklin, I think, or Weston Blake. Yes, it was Blake, right? Against Jake Logan, who I note, if you just add Paul in there,
00:38:39
Speaker
Like he could probably do a lot of weird stuff there. He's like, yeah, I'm Jake Paul Logan. But instead, he is the guy that if you are still following from what happened in the second control, your narrative fell victim to prima nocta.
00:38:58
Speaker
So EC3 fucks his wife, and throughout this whole show, EC3 is in the crowd, arms crossed, everyone around him cheering, but this is like EC3's the mob boss, like he's the boss of the show, and he's disappointed in everyone. And I think everyone just wants a little bit of daddy's approval, but you ain't gonna get it from EC3. But what was this, Jake Logan Paul? Jake Paul, Logan, Jake.
00:39:30
Speaker
So at a certain point in the match, he does, I don't know, was it like a lion's salt? Yeah, he goes for lion's salt. And he essentially, like I don't even remember what actually happened because I was laughing so hard at the narration, everything that was happening. All of those people just as well have gotten in the ring, beat him.
00:39:57
Speaker
to an inch of his life and then fucked him. I don't, I think that's what happened. I think it was the one guy just beat, but he basically, he's a, he does the lion's salt and like the screen like shakes and like glitches out and everyone freaks out and he's like, basically Weston Blake is like, you did a flip time to die.
00:40:23
Speaker
never seen such a poor reaction to like just a basic high flying move. Yeah, it was like it was like he had he had questioned Weston Blake's manhood. And the only response he had, he was like like a mob boss or something like he like because the manhood had been questioned. He now needed to just basically murder Paul Jake Logan.
00:40:52
Speaker
It was the equivalent of telling somebody in the South that Jesus wasn't white. And he got fucking stomped in a way that it almost felt like a hate crime. The hate crime is against the act of being upside down at a certain point. It's not yet a protected class by the Supreme Court, though, Garrett. I think that's the concern.
00:41:21
Speaker
And if you don't vote correctly, it'll never be. Jake Logan's right to do a moonsault is in jeopardy on this Tuesday. And we just don't know what it's gonna be like until we get the final results in Florida. Yeah, and it's funny that the guy who has to rule over Disneyland is like, this guy is not doing flips in my state.
00:41:49
Speaker
It's interesting, the second episode had kind of almost a similar moment in the sense that they had a scene with Man Bun Jesus, who I knew from some local, I don't know if he's done, again, stuff outside of New York, but I'd seen him at like an outlaw show, I think. Man Bun Jesus, he's a stoner character, right? He's like, where's the Doritos and Taco Bell and Mountain Dew? And he's managed, sort of speak, by like a psychedelic panda?
00:42:20
Speaker
And once again, like, you know, he's colorful and, you know, kind of flighty and he's wrestling a guy whose name I did not catch, who just seemed like a mean, just a mean white man. And he's beaten up man bun Jesus and it's, you know, man bun Jesus gets like a hope spot. It's not, it's whatever, you know? But the funny thing was that like the psychedelic panda pleading for mercy, the psychedelic panda is like, oh, come on. What are you doing?
00:42:49
Speaker
The psychedelic pandas like considering throwing in the like psychedelically colored towel. The tie dye towel. Was this your local India or was this in the episode I didn't watch of? This is the episode you haven't watched yet. What the fuck? I got it. Yeah, you got to see this. You got to see this. This. Don't tell me. Don't tell EC3 that you went to a dead and company show. That's probably going to be bad. He's going to just assume that you're on drugs and covered in where it died.
00:43:20
Speaker
Did you think that doing flips are bad around here? Beat you to death and fuck you with my seasoning bottles? Just so everybody's aware, the control your narrative merch has not yet gone to a super clearance.
00:43:44
Speaker
that we are planning on just purchasing it all and we'll be the ones to sell it. We will have control of the narrative. And, um, if you're, if you're one of our, our friends who enjoys wrestling, man, once that, once that discount gets going and you see a package from either of us, it's definitely, it's definitely some, it's definitely some control your narrative short shorts. I guarantee it.
00:44:11
Speaker
There's a shirt of EC3 sunning his balls. And that is not a joke. That is exactly what happens on that shirt, which is weird because he's such a humorless man. Like that does not fit his character at all. And honestly, the match you just described. So episode one, two serious.
00:44:31
Speaker
Control Your Narrative 2, very funny because of Daddy Magic playing Statler and Waldorf. They took that element of fun away for the third round, made it too serious again, but so serious that it became funny. Like now, because we've never had to see them enforce the rules. Other than, I think like Cardona wanted to pen somebody maybe in the first episode. And they're like, there's no pens here.
00:45:01
Speaker
I don't know. Honestly, if this promotion only existed so that we could see this moment where a man gets beaten for doing a flip, it was all worth it. Money well spent, EC3.
00:45:18
Speaker
I did find it, by the way, it's called the painful present, the series, the painful present. The other thing that I'm interested in is that we, there's two more episodes of the painful present that we haven't watched. Maybe, maybe even more than that. I don't know how long it's going to be. You know, who's in episode four? Flip Gordon. Does he have to renounce being flip? Is that a thing? Does he have to?
00:45:46
Speaker
Like, just do, only do ground and pound. If you don't think about flipping. We can tell you're thinking about it. It's just like every match becomes a lumberjack match, but everybody's in the ring. Just beat it. It's like, you can't even be flipped. You got to be Gordon. You're regular Gordon. You were Gordon, sir. And I'm pretty sure that was a character from Sesame street. Uh, you can't be that as a wrestler. I don't know. That's not a wrestler name. You just be Gordon.
00:46:17
Speaker
Uh, I mean, we talked about this. Jack Tunney's gone. Could he just be commissioner Gordon? He honestly, after this folds, they're going to be like, okay, flip. You are commissioner of control. Your narrative now that Braun is gone. Braun Braun. I don't know if you saw Braun got into some hot water for apparently there was a match and he wrestled almost in, um, in Saudi Arabia.
00:46:42
Speaker
and said something about getting 47, five stars and just, you know, Bron B and Bron. Was he, like, were people telling him his match was bad? I mean, at this point, like, we haven't even been watching WWE to tell, I feel like we've been very nice, honestly, on this show lately. Honestly, Bron's match could have been amazing. I have no clue. I'm not gonna judge it. I didn't watch it.
00:47:11
Speaker
I watched like 30 seconds of the women's match as I was fast forward, that was about it. Who, what ladies wrestled? Bailey was wrestling Bianca Belair. Okay. And I think there was a women's tag match too. Okay, I'm still not, I'm...
00:47:33
Speaker
You aren't gonna get me to watch WWE every week or even catch up on watching YouTube clips. But I don't know, is Owens? You know what? Don't even care. Don't even care. I'll wait till I hear something that I should watch. I mean, I'm curious to see what they put together for Survivor Series is gonna have War Games. There's gonna be a women's one to men's one. I don't know. If you've got the right War Games match, maybe you could talk me into watching some of Survivor Series, I guess.
00:48:02
Speaker
But I'm with you, it's a long time. We're still a ways away from me watching WWE on the regular. But I'm waiting for I said waiting for Cody to show up at the Rumble. Yeah, and that'll be fine. I don't know. I'm just I feel like last week was
AEW and Enjoyable Wrestling
00:48:22
Speaker
People were angry. I got more texts and messages last week about people just being down on AEW right now. And I get that, you know, maybe like the stories aren't where we would all like them to be, but at the very least I'm getting some decent in-ring work. And I don't know, we've sat through so many years of bad WWE
00:48:47
Speaker
I've taken so much abuse that I'm like, if you give me a little something to enjoy, I can still, you know, it's still not the worst thing on TV. I don't know. The blues have lost like eight in a row. So that's bringing me no joy. At least like, you know, maybe I don't necessarily want Darby versus Jay Lethal, but they're both good at it. Right. I rooting for the nets at this point may be anti-Semitic. So I I'm sticking with wrestling, guys. I'm sticking with wrestling. Yeah, I'm with you.
00:49:17
Speaker
I'm neither like, I'm, I think, obviously I think we all feel AWS loss of little steam this year. Um, and it is all, it does all sort of feel like it's like, um, like, uh, accumulating at this point, like it's all kind of hitting the fan right now in certain ways. But again, at the end of the day, I still like the show on a week to week basis. I'm still not close to flipping back over to WWE unless a lot changes. But again, I think we're all.
00:49:48
Speaker
We're a little more open to it than we were before and even that feels weird. WWE felt like it was so out of the picture for a while that maybe we'll all just end up watching episodes of World Class to prepare ourselves with the Von Erich movie. Maybe that's what we're looking at next year.
00:50:09
Speaker
It's just, I don't know, like thinking of the WWE matches that I have watched over the last few months, that the two, that I'm like, these were very good, is a Seamus match and a Logan Paul match. Like, good on those guys? It's weird, you know, there's still plenty of wrestling. It sounds like New Japan is kind of on the rise again, like at least like trending upward, right?
00:50:36
Speaker
Yeah, I think they're getting turns back. I watched a good chunk of Battle Autumn. They keep changing the names of the show. This used to be like, this used to be Power Struggle. Now it was Battle Autumn, which is not really a great name. But yeah, it made evented with Naito against Will Ospreay, who I think they had a great match better than the, even the better than the one they had in the G1 semis.
00:51:05
Speaker
Osprey retain the title. Video comes on the screen for a guy named the roughneck. And it turns out it's shooter.
New Japan's Exciting Developments
00:51:16
Speaker
And shooter Amino and he laid out Osprey with Moxley's DDT. So that's a match in a couple of weeks. Excited for that. Love me some shooter. Glad he's back.
00:51:29
Speaker
we've got Red Narita back as little baby Shabbatah. On the same week, of course, that actual Shabbatah came back and wrestled Orange Cassidy, which was also a thing with Mike Tyson on commentary. That was a thing that happened just five days ago, Garrett. It was live. They put Mike Tyson on a live mic on TBS, the Super Station. And the match was fine. It was fun. It was fun. You know, I mean, I tuned in live on a Friday night, did not mind that I did so.
00:52:00
Speaker
You know, overall good time. I think that's kind of been my whole review of AEW lately. It's like a good time. I've not like actively not enjoyed anything lately. I don't know. It's always something worth watching on there. Yeah, that's kind of it. That's that's the review for like the whole year of AEW. Yeah, that's pretty good time.
00:52:23
Speaker
Pretty good time, I enjoyed it. Like, even with the pay-per-view coming up in a couple weeks, I think this has been the case for several pay-per-views where I'm just like, I'm not super excited about the card I'm presented with going in, but they always exceed my expectations. So, you know, it's always, I don't, I haven't hit a point yet where I don't think that spending $50 is a bad decision on one of their pay-per-views. Especially when GCW just freed up like,
00:52:52
Speaker
you know, $100 a month for you. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, on the New Japan point, right, FTR was there. They defended the tag titles against Jeff Cobb and Great Ocon, which was a really good match, obviously not on the level of like the top top FTR matches this year.
00:53:13
Speaker
But also a reminder that it's really nice to see new people in new Japan, right? That part of the problem with new Japan over the last two years is that they've become a closed world where you just don't get to see the top guys interact with anyone. And a lot of the fun was, Oh yeah, you know, Okada against Chris Jericho was pretty interesting. And they just hadn't been able to do that for so long. That this is just, I think it does feel like they're on the way back up. Even if you look at like.
00:53:43
Speaker
the rosters for the tag leagues. That their tour that they're doing. Right, the junior tag league has like all sorts of people in it. As we mentioned last week, Leo Rush, I was like, Oh, maybe he's going to team with you. Yep. Leo Rush and you is a team. Who else? Alex Zane is in there.
00:54:12
Speaker
Ooh. Yeah. He is teaming with El Lindemann. It's so this is a junior tag title thing. So they're doing two tag leagues this year. Well, they've always done a super junior tag league too, but now they're doing the two tours together. So it's kind of alternating nights and some nights it's both of them. It's just 10 tag matches. So there's 10 teams in both.
00:54:37
Speaker
Tournaments, but yeah, the juniors Hagley's got all sorts of weird shit Chris Bay and ace Austin are gonna be in there Oh, they actually get to be bullet club in Japan. Yeah
00:54:49
Speaker
Good for them. I really never thought they would get to see Japan. I figured that was a impact only situation for them. That makes me happy for them. They're good. They get to have a fun tour, eat some fun food, have a good time in Japan. Kushida's returned from his hand, foot and mouth disease. People make recoveries from those things. It takes you down, but it does bring you back. People we love.
00:55:20
Speaker
Uh, Robbie Eagles is just, again, it's just like fun. Again, I don't know if I'm watching every show or certainly not every match in every show, but like there's going to be a lot of interesting, weird, like, don't you want to see what Chris Bay and Ace Austin against like Doki and Kanemaru is like.
00:55:38
Speaker
I do. Yeah, those at least sound like they're gonna be shows where there's gonna be, I feel like once a week I'm gonna hear, you should at least check this match out. And that makes me happy. I want people to be telling me, you should be looking at New Japan again. And I did see that the Melts told us that it is confirmed that FTR is gonna be at Wrestle Kingdom.
00:56:03
Speaker
Well, what I'm excited about there is after FTR retain the titles, they were very explicitly challenged again by Aussie open who were like, we're going to win world tag league, which I mean, we'll see, right? Sometimes new Japan will do the thing where someone makes a declaration and it doesn't happen. Um, but would certainly be excited for that. Um, I'm, I'm just getting excited. Aussie opens in world tag. A means lots of opportunities to watch matches with Maddie.
00:56:33
Speaker
with the tall Australian guys that she likes. That's very exciting. Some fun teams in the in the World Tag League as well. They've got Minoru Suzuki and Lance Archer together. Always fun to see the people. I just I can't imagine how hard FTR is going to go.
00:56:54
Speaker
in the Tokyo Dome. Like that seems, that's just a tag team that you know is gonna treat that as special as it should be treated and want to give us a classic banger. And if it's the two teams you just saw a couple of weeks ago in Laboom and you get to see that again, but in the Tokyo Dome,
00:57:17
Speaker
It's pretty badass. The other, the other interesting option for that match, I think in the, in the, uh, given, given what's in there, it would be Naito and Sonata. Both currently don't have anything for wrestle kingdom. And you know, they're both big enough guys that unless they get these, someone's got like an ace up the sleeve to set up a different type of match for those two guys. Like you could imagine those two challenging for the tag titles in the Tokyo dome.
00:57:44
Speaker
Also, Yano and Tana Hashi, which is just a hilarious tag team. Yeah, that's that's pretty great. That's a real tag team. That's a real tag team.
00:57:56
Speaker
The interaction between those two is. Yeah, no, I'm sold. I'm sold. I might have to get a new Japan subscription again. I mean, again, there's some duds. I mean, Chase Owens and Bad Luck Falle are in there and go to and Yoshi Hashi still there. Just still doing the same thing. Evil and Yujiro.
00:58:19
Speaker
gonna be terrible, again. So, I mean, it's not all winners, it's World Tag League. But I've always just sort of enjoyed, especially, there's something about World Tag League I like where, like,
00:58:31
Speaker
It's this part of the year where everything's getting darker, right? Like everything's, you know, closing in, it's getting colder. And there are this, there are these like 40 dudes just traveling to the most random towns in Japan to have tag matches for my enjoyment. And I always just feel like an appreciation for those guys. Like the, all the Americans are going to miss Thanksgiving.
00:58:59
Speaker
And I don't know if they're going to get to be into, like, I guess being in Tokyo for Thanksgiving might not be bad, but the Friday show is in a town called Gunma, Gunma, Japan. Like, do they had to, do they have to travel to Gunma, Japan on Thanksgiving? That's dedication. You know what? There's worse places to be.
00:59:27
Speaker
There's been some pretty bad Thanksgiving dinners with family and stuff that, you know, you're like, you know what? If I could be in Gunma right now, I'd be in Gunma. Maybe. Maybe. I mean, Leo, we know Leo Rush has got kids. He's talked about that. He's like, I'm here to provide for my kids and he's going to miss Thanksgiving to be in Gunma, Japan.
00:59:50
Speaker
Well, you know, after this he'll retire and this'll be, this'll be daddy's last time in Gunma for a while. Until next week, next year when it rolls around. It's just, they really hit, they hit all the towns on this tour. Just all the towns. Kiyogo, Yamaguchi, Saga, Nagasaki, Kochi, Ahime. They go back to Hyogo. Miyagi is the main, the main show is in a place called Miyagi.
01:00:20
Speaker
Which one, I'm curious to hear which town is like their bootin'. You know, like, where is the bootin' New Jersey of Japan? That's a great question. I guess if we watch every, if I watch at least one match from every show, I think it'll be clear. Because you see bootin', you know bootin'. You know what bootin' is. There's going to be a show, you're like, oh, I can tell there's a fucked up dungeon bathroom in this venue.
01:00:51
Speaker
Menorah Suzuki is just downstairs. Just taking the biggest dump and also hitting people. You go down to the dungeon bathroom and he just appears from the darkness. I'd never recover from that. That's just. I'm just imagining like you go down into the dark and Suzuki just appears out of it and you're just like.
01:01:15
Speaker
I just made a face. He's great, great audio, great audio guys. But I just made a, I just made a face like, like I was terrified because you'd be terrified. Especially if he's ring ready. Like if it is, if it is a scary old man, he's not even that old, I guess, but you know, he, he, we call him an old man. Like a scary old man with that haircut in his underpants appearing out of the darkness of where there maybe is a bowling alley. Uh, yeah. Get, get away from me.
01:01:43
Speaker
But facts that we're talking about, though, when we saw him a couple weeks ago, because we call Suzuki murder grandpa. He's closer in age to either of the two of us than he is to our dads. He's like between. I mean, he's like kind of right between just about. But like closer to the two, like he would have had to have fathered us at an incredibly young age, not even regardless of being a grandpa, you know. So you're telling me that if Suzuki
01:02:13
Speaker
we're my dad, we would be in like a Gilmore Girls situation, where it's just like, he's my young, cool dad, and we're too fast talking wrestling fans.
Minoru Suzuki's TV Show Idea
01:02:24
Speaker
You would have been, yeah, in like, in the late 90s, early 2000s, when Gilmore Girls was airing, that would have been the scenario.
01:02:35
Speaker
CW, give us a call. My my lost dad, Minoru Suzuki. And we live in a small town in like, I don't know, South Carolina. I don't remember. I actually was a Gilmore Girls fan. I don't remember what what state they were in. It's somewhere in the Northeast, right? It's like Massachusetts and New Hampshire or some shit. It has that that that feel. I'm when I worked at when I worked at Warner Brothers, I had to drive through their town every single day.
01:03:03
Speaker
and talk about the Gilmore Girls. Never did I know that one day it would be me and Minoru Suzuki and I am Rory and he is Lorelei and who is going to be the nice lady that runs a coffee shop that Minoru is smitten with?
01:03:23
Speaker
Oh, that's a good question. Cause he's definitely, he's a wrestler in this. I think, I think I like the idea of the South. I think it's, um, I think it's too below Mississippi cause he's still sort of on the Memphis circuit, I think in this story. Um, and yeah, he's, there's a, there's a lady, uh, maybe like maybe it's miss Jackie. She, she runs the, she runs the, she runs the diner, but she's also really tough, of course.
01:03:52
Speaker
Oh my God, he runs a bed and breakfast and he's, but I get, you know, as a side gig. He only wrestles on the weekends. Right. Cause wrestling's winding down in Memphis. It used to be a bigger deal, but now not so much anymore. So now he's got to, he's got to run the B and B two and you help them out there. And you like, you know, Melissa McCarthy. Oh, totally. She was always a big wrestling fan. They became friends. She was at the matches every week in Tupelo.
01:04:20
Speaker
Um. And yeah, he's it's a he's it's like maybe there's like a wrestling theme to the B&B. So we're not we're obviously not the Gilmore Girls or were we the Suzuki boys like what is our. What.
01:04:39
Speaker
Somebody please Photoshop me this photo of me and my daddy on our CW poster coming this fall. Suzuki Sons? Suzuki, yeah, that's good. Oh, Suzuki and Sons. Suzuki and Sons. Suzuki and Sons. Suzuki and Sons. It's one son. Suzuki and Sons.
01:05:02
Speaker
Uh, I don't know if we can top like I see this is, this is what's been fun. Like I never expected I was coming on today to talk about Gilmore girls, but here we are. This is a, this is why predetermined exists. These are the conversations that I live for.
01:05:19
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I'm really excited about this now and I want to watch this television show that there's no way we'll ever exist in any form. But I'm sad. In a way, I'm a little upset because I'm now disappointed that I'm never going to get to see this.
01:05:36
Speaker
I mean, at a certain point in his career, we could throw a pitch his way and he'll be like, I don't understand. I'm like, okay, well here's season one of the Gilmore Girls on DVD. Do you see how they're best friends and they talk really fast at each other? Me and you are gonna do that. And you're gonna like the lady from the coffee shop. But you also run a bed and breakfast with Melissa McCarthy. And he's gonna say, the ghostbuster? And I'm gonna say yes, the ghostbuster.
01:06:04
Speaker
And he's going to talk about how much he loves Ghostbusters. Specifically that one. And it's going to break Derek's heart. I'm sure. It's Eric, not a fan of the, of the lady Ghostbusters. I don't want to put words in his mouth. Anytime I put words in his mouth, he says, I make him look like a pod, but I bet right now he's like, fuck yeah, I don't like lady Ghostbusters, but I'm not going to say it on. On a podcast. I kind of liked the lady Ghostbusters. I thought it was fine.
01:06:34
Speaker
I'm pretty sure I saw Lady Ghostbusters and enjoyed it. I like all of those ladies, I like Ghostbusters. You know, I mean, I like Paul Feig. Who's our putt of the week, Garrett? I'm just thinking about this. Putt of the week.
Putt of the Week Nomination
01:06:51
Speaker
That fucking asshole that tried to do a flip on control your narrative. What a fucking putt! What do you think was gonna happen?
01:07:01
Speaker
It's not it's not the guy. It's not the guy who beat him half to death because he did the flip. No, that guy is, I think, as they say, just following orders. That's true. That's true. I don't know. It's actually this wasn't the most putty week, I guess. You know, it's there has to be.
01:07:25
Speaker
Maybe it's still the Saudi Crown Prince, you know. Oh, he's never been voted part of the week. And so so every week it is Kane. Kane, well, I don't think Kane gets to not. I don't think he'll ever redeem himself for that on Election Day, especially. I think Kane's got to be one of our parts of the week. But who it ain't, it's not menorah Suzuki. He's no daddy Suzuki Suzuki is daddy. Sorry, Effie.
01:07:56
Speaker
Sorry. And he will be he will be Suzuki's gay best friend. I love the show. I love I love the show that we're creating.
