Introduction and Weekend Teasers
00:00:00
Speaker
Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Predetermined, a Pro Wrestling Hangout. I'm your host, Garrett Callender, and with me, as always, a man who's about to have the greatest orgasm of his life this weekend, Derek Halpin. Can neither confirm nor deny that that is a possibility. There's really no way of knowing.
00:00:22
Speaker
I mean, I don't know how good you are in the sack. We could potentially be sharing a bed. We don't know. This was purchased off of Priceline, and it just said it's either going to be a king-size bed or a couple queens. Or it's going to be a couple queens and a king bed.
00:00:40
Speaker
Oh, shit, I saw that joke coming. Yeah, everyone did. Didn't feel great about that one. There's a big weekend ahead of us, my friend. You have a flight early tomorrow morning to come up to my neck of the woods for all out weekend. We're gonna be seeing three different... Oh, fuck, and we're white clawing already? I forgot.
00:01:02
Speaker
I forgot to wait, I mean. Well, I mean, that's fine. I'm glad that you're getting an early start considering you have an early start tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt that. I thought it was going to be quieter. It was meant to be excited. Yeah, no, I'm I have to get up early. I think I get up at four thirty in the morning to catch my plane and it is currently seven forty five p.m. on Wednesday.
00:01:28
Speaker
Well, we've got a week into preview. You watched some some GCW shit over the weekend. So let's dive right into this shit. We got stuff to talk about before you get here to Chicago. So hit our goddamn music. Well, I mean, you I mean, if you want. I mean, I. Yeah, I've got to get up early today, so let's just hit the goddamn music. Hit the music.
00:02:31
Speaker
And crack open another white claw. Psst. All right, everybody. Thank you. Have you ever done two white claws at the same time? Done the white claw three-way? Well, I meant, like, have you had, like, two different flavors of white claw and double-fisted? Had a little triple threat match with the white claws. Yeah.
00:02:51
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, I have, Derek. You have? Were you not expecting me to ask that question and then you felt caught? Well, you know, you got to try it in every combination to make sure that you're not drinking. You know, you got one of the best version of what you love.
00:03:08
Speaker
We are not opening with another White Claw 10-minute rant until they send me a free case.
Listener Appreciation and Creative Contributions
00:03:15
Speaker
We are opening with another White Claw rant because I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the fact that our loyal listener, our loyal friend, and guy that messages us frequently on Twitter, Jeffy Wrestling, made a song for us a few days back that was fucking fantastic. And it began
00:03:37
Speaker
with him cracking open a can of something, I'm assuming it was a brew, but he had put a label around this can and drew his own White Claw logo on it. And he's made us a song that I'm not sure what all of the lyrics are, but I'm pretty sure at one point he says, fuck your dog and fuck your cat.
00:03:59
Speaker
And he proceeds to play guitar while shirtless and drinking what is a fake white claw. And that is the passion of predetermined pro wrestling hangout listeners. If I had time tonight, I should have trimmed that and made that the goddamn music for the week. You know what? We'll do that next week. I just don't have time tonight. I'm sorry. But yes, that was fucking phenomenal.
00:04:21
Speaker
Jeffy, thank you so much. You know that when we do our end of the year recap, like our best of, that that's definitely going in there. That brought me so much joy. I loved that a lot. I think he even said that it might cure my depression. And I was pretty down that day. And I'll be damned if that did not help. He didn't have to be shirtless in the video. But he did. I felt like he did it for me.
00:04:46
Speaker
Not only did he not have to be shirtless, he was shirtless and he was wearing the Joey Janela sunglasses. I totally forgot he bought those. I love that he did. Everything about that video is perfect. If you go to our Twitter feed, at WrestleHangout, scroll down a little bit, you will find that.
GCW Death Match Reactions
00:05:03
Speaker
Just watch it like three or four times or really digest it. Garrett.
00:05:09
Speaker
Actually, before we started recording, I was watching GCW and it really fucked me up. This has been a very disturbing couple days of watching GCW.
00:05:23
Speaker
You said that you watched some fucked up shit over the weekend. Yeah. But you watched more before we started recording? Well, I got two full paper views of it, but I had only watched a little bit. So I was trying to catch up and see it all. And it turns out that cramming death matches like you're trying to study for a history test. Really? Not good for your state of mind? No, I think right now, I think I'm actually a little mentally disturbed from trying to
00:05:51
Speaker
just watch six or seven of these things in a row. They're supposed to be a break. Yeah, I typically don't do that. Every now and then for this show, we've had to watch something that's pretty gory or brutal, but I haven't crammed it right before we started. They went to Japan over the weekend, and I'm going to go ahead and tell you, they don't fuck around over there.
00:06:15
Speaker
Do they think they bring out all the bells and whistles for the Japanese crowd? I don't know if this is a norm in America, but I watched them use meat cleavers on people, Derek. Yeah, I don't think that's normal in America. But I didn't think that the razor blades on a board was normal in America until I experienced it in front of my eyes.
GCW in Japan: Cultural Surprises
00:06:41
Speaker
Do you think they do the CD-R? The broken up CD-Rs on a board in Japan? They did a spot onto a... Not CD-Rs, but it was the old, like, Famcon or whatever? Like that old, old Nintendo? A Famicom? Yeah. That. Somebody took a powerbomb onto one, Cartridge-en and everything. It looked like that probably was one of the more painful spots, even though it wasn't sharp.
00:07:08
Speaker
Yeah, that sounds painful and you're wasting a perfectly good video game system. Well, you know, it's Japan. You can find those anywhere. Those are just like in dumpsters and stuff now. I did very much enjoy lots about this show, though, because it was deathmatch shows, but they did that GCW thing where they just open with a good match.
00:07:30
Speaker
you know a match that makes you think, oh, it's not gonna be so bad. There isn't gonna be meat cleavers about an hour from now. They cleaned the palette at the beginning. Like they had Tony Deppin come out, put on a good match with a great Sasuke. I don't know how to say it. Yeah. But he came out, did a match, crowd loved Deppin. Also over the weekend, these guys almost sold out Koriken Hall that New Japan runs.
00:07:54
Speaker
That's pretty fucking wild for GCW. And during these shows, all the guys are getting chants. Like Joey Janela got a huge pop. Who else was... God damn, it was just so much fun hearing the GCW chants. And finally, I think this may be the first time I've heard this watching Japanese wrestling. I heard a holy shit chant.
00:08:16
Speaker
There's no way, like, was it like a 90% Japanese crowd? Yes, they were in Japan. Aren't they usually like quiet and polite? Yes, and through most of it they were. And they even commented how this is like abnormal. Like, you know, if Japanese or if American fans had not watched Japanese wrestling prior to this, commentary constantly reminded us that Japanese crowds are more respectful. But as this thing went on, like, they are actually chanting holy shit. And you know what they were chanting holy shit at, Derek?
00:08:46
Speaker
What? They were chanting holy shit at a match between Joey Janela tag teaming with the Invisible Man versus Kikutaru teaming with Invisible Stan and Invisible Man took a 75 foot jump off the roof.
00:09:05
Speaker
What the fuck? Which just means that a bunch of... Which also, I love this, in New J... I guess everywhere in Japan they have young lions. So that isn't just a New Japan thing. They had GCW young lions surrounding the ring, so they would have to sell as the invisible man fell on top of them.
00:09:27
Speaker
So basically you're telling me Japan's filled with Famicoms everywhere and Young Lions. You can just pick one up. Honestly, I was just so excited. They were enjoying this match, this weird comedy match. I'm like, me too, man. Let's go enjoy. We can watch this together. We don't have to say a single word. We just know it's awesome.
00:09:46
Speaker
the Japanese fans were like, we're letting our hair down the night. Oh, we're partying. It's like when fucking all in was here last year, and we made the comment like, this crowd's very quiet and respectful, like a Japanese crowd. Just because half the roster was from New Japan.
00:10:06
Speaker
Yeah, but you basically saw Japan go wild for GCW. I did. And they would even go super crazy for the deathmatch guys.
Marcus Crane's Extreme Moments
00:10:15
Speaker
But God damn it, I watched a deathmatch last night that really, really fucked me up. It was off of a show. They did. It was the first one they did when they got over there. It was called Worst Behavior.
00:10:30
Speaker
What the fuck does that mean? Well, that's just the name of the show. It's, you know, new GCW is on their worst behavior at this show and they truly, truly were. I saw something I had never seen before. There was a six man death match, which, you know, a six man tag death match, which it turns out six man death matches make a lot of sense because you don't have to take as many huge spots, but everybody can do the biggest spot that they have.
00:10:58
Speaker
So you're getting paid to just do one big moment in the match. But Marcus Crane did something that was so fucked up that it actually made me feel lightheaded. I figured you'd be numb to this kind of stuff by now. Derek, one of the Japanese wrestlers took a... It was a really long needle. I found out later that it was a tattoo needle.
00:11:24
Speaker
But, you know, it's it's pretty long, like not quite like a foot long, but, you know, maybe like a six inch needle. They stick it through one side of Marcus Crane's cheek through the middle of his mouth and out the other side of the opposite cheek.
00:11:39
Speaker
and why as you watch the needle go in and out both sides i was scared for me for him for the people in that room this is like their response to the fucking jeff hardy screwdriver through the ear spot yeah this was like this was the biggest fuck you to that spot i've ever seen that i would watch that spot on loop before bed every night for a year before
00:12:06
Speaker
before I have to ever experience this just one time just one time it was because it didn't end there you would think that was the end of that spot like oh man that's really fucked up this is over no it turns out that was the setup for the greatest greatest hot tag in history because now Marcus Crane has a just a giant needle stuck through his face and he's getting his ass beat in the middle of the ring and cannot get the tag
00:12:39
Speaker
Yeah, I'm not, this is upsetting my stomach, just like. He took a 619 with that in his face. Yeah, that's not happening. And then what finally got me to be like, uh-uh, and I turned it off. He took a super kick to the mouth while that needle was sticking out of his face and I was just, I was done. I was completely done at that point. You're not selling me on GCW. That being said, one of the,
00:13:04
Speaker
That was very, very fucked up. But I noticed after sitting here watching all of these death matches back to back to back to back to back, GCW does do something really interesting with their death matches, which is their wrestlers are actually really good.
00:13:19
Speaker
they're doing wrestling moves with some of the violence. Like seeing them crack light tubes while doing moves is pretty impressive. And there's times where they're just doing really impressive shit, but then also do what I would consider a high spot in death matches. And it's a weird combination of like, if you're able to do this other thing, why are you doing this? Right? That's what I was about to say. Like we're wrapping back around to where I was like a year ago with the death match thing where I'm asking
00:13:51
Speaker
Come on. Like if you can work a good match, go somewhere work a good match. Don't actually hurt yourself. You couldn't pay me enough money to take a fucking needle through my face. Well, okay, so like this Friday we're seeing G Raver in a six man ladder match.
00:14:09
Speaker
And he is a deathmatch guy. He is very good, though. He's a really good wrestler. But I also watched him have to climb a top rope. He had set a bunch of light tubes filled with butcher knives. Aim down at this. This is so dumb. Aim down at this guy's stomach.
00:14:32
Speaker
and he was climbing on the top rope to do a flip onto him. And as he went to do the flip, the guy turned the light tube butcher knife thing upside down, so now all those blades are facing G-Raver. And G-Raver goes back first to do a bunch of butcher knives. Do you know how fucked up it is to see a meat cleaver sticking out of somebody's body?
00:14:55
Speaker
This is your new favorite promotion, Garrett. Yeah, they do some stuff that I don't always approve of, but the fact that they had a nice little comedy match in the middle that got the crowd over, that followed the guy getting the needle stuck in his face, I mind you. You've upset me. It's like I'm embarrassed. You know what else you hear at these shows that I bet you aren't expecting?
00:15:22
Speaker
What? You still hear the Japanese girls, Derek. Do you hear them saying Ta-Nehisi's name? But it's not Ta-Nehisi, you're hearing them say things like, G-Ray-ba! Or like, Jimmy Lloyd! They're saying Jimmy Lloyd. They're like, they're actually cheering for the American wrestlers.
00:15:41
Speaker
Are there any heroes on the GCW roster? Just a bunch of misfits. Are there any heroes? Orange Cassidy's a hero. Joey Janelle is a hero. Jimmy Lloyd's a hero to someone. They're all not quite heroes. See, I don't know. Marcus Crane, to me, looks like such genuinely the guy that he's portraying. I don't know if he's a character, but he terrifies me.
00:16:11
Speaker
You said we're going to GCW on Friday night. Yeah, I think we're gonna get a tame one. What can we expect going into that show?
00:16:18
Speaker
Honestly, I think we're gonna get a pretty normal GCW show. We might get a couple hardcore spots, but this is definitely not one of the hardcore shows. Maybe we end up getting a hardcore match for Nick Gage versus Effie. I would absolutely love to see Effie be the guy to finally beat Nick Gage, and also to see Effie just do Effie to Nick Gage. Just be Effie at Nick Gage is exciting to me. What are the odds that Nick Gage is gonna go extra hard on Effie?
00:16:49
Speaker
I mean at this point I've seen him, Nick Gage knows who he is at this point. I've had to see him wrestle what like Orange Cassidy, we've seen him wrestle you know all of these comedy wrestlers. At this point people want to see Nick Gage comedy matches.
00:17:05
Speaker
He gets it. It's like trying to get the rock to crack, is that what it is? I feel like that's what it is. I mean, we got to actually see Nick Gage put on Orange Cassidy sunglasses, and this would probably hurt his heart a little bit, but he was never quite as scary to me ever again.
00:17:22
Speaker
Don't tell him. Yeah, don't take it out on Effie. Don't spread that word to the king, but I still love him.
Anticipation for GCW Matches
00:17:28
Speaker
But now you said we're also going to be getting. Orange Cassidy versus fucking Gangrel. Yeah, you know that's going to be a hot one. Having to text somebody, somebody asked me is Orange Cassidy wrestling? I said, yes, he's actually wrestling a vampire.
00:17:49
Speaker
GCW, man. We're also seeing Mance Warner versus Jerry the King Lawler. I'm gonna get to see Jerry Lawler? You're gonna actually see Jerry Lawler wrestle. At GCW.
00:18:03
Speaker
Let's see. And then you're getting a six man with Blake Christian. And, uh, let's see who else is in that? Alex Zane, both of which who I said are the future of pro wrestling. Jimmy Lloyd, G Raver, Matthew Justice, and Kobe Durst. That'll just be, Oh my God. That's a TLC match. Oh, I'm sorry. DLC doors, ladders, and chairs. Cause we switched to doors. Uh, somebody told me recently we switched to doors because it turns out those are cheaper to buy than the tables.
00:18:31
Speaker
That actually makes a lot of sense. Gary J versus War Horse, which they are the ones that have a feud that at one point ended with War Horse getting his cheek torn out by the fucking ring hook. Did you ever see that? We talked about that. Yeah, we talked about that on the podcast. So they're going to hopefully go hard for us at GCW. They've got a history. Oh shit, you're going to get to see Kevin Ku from
00:18:56
Speaker
From Sup? Yeah, him and Dom Garini, violence forever. Violence is forever. And they're gonna be fighting Tom Lawler and Eric Stevens. We're gonna see Homicide versus Ethan Page.
00:19:10
Speaker
This is a stacked GCW card. Oh my god, there's a lucha match. There's just a six-man lucha match. Goddamn, this is gonna be a wild one. If Lawler is in attendance, are we gonna make a point to tell him that on our podcast we reviewed his tenders, his chicken tenders? Ooh, I don't think that I wanna say it to him, but since I'm a bigger fan of Mance Warner because of his restaurant, maybe I will use his restaurant against him throughout the match.
00:19:40
Speaker
Like, that's why you're booing him? Your famous tendies are shit. He might be like 10 feet away from him, so he'll probably hear it. Yeah, everything was dry. Even the water tasted kind of weird. Too much John Cena shit. Yeah, lotta autographed John Cena 8 by 10s. Plenty of Andy Kaufman, though. Good job. Yeah, liked the Andy. Liked the Andy. Poke his fucking eyes, man.
00:20:10
Speaker
The GCW show is maybe the reason we're gonna be missing night two of a Thursday, Friday two night tournament for AAW. I can understand why we're missing night two of the tournament based on that card that you just read to me. Doesn't that just sound like a lot of fun? It does and we're gonna be front row.
00:20:30
Speaker
Like as much as I would love to be able to be there for both shows, I think since we're gonna get to see the entire AAW card the night before, I feel more okay moving over, sitting front row at GCW, and just having a wild, fun night at like a midnight wrestling show.
00:20:48
Speaker
What do we get in Night One at AAW? Let's see. Because, to be clear to our listeners, we're planning on recording a lot of content this weekend, probably several watch-alongs, and I'm sure we're going to have a couple reviews of the shows we see. So you'll get a follow-up to all of this, but we're going to be seeing a lot of wrestling here over the next few days. Also, Derek, I looked. There is an AMC theater down the street from our hotel.
00:21:14
Speaker
Oh my god. We're seeing Hobbs and Shaw first thing in the morning on Saturday. Yeah, we'll see how quickly you can get me out of the bed Saturday morning. Oh, you will be surprised how quickly you get out of bed when there is me, Jason, with just the idea of Jason Statham and The Rock together in my head. You know, that man knows no bounds, especially when the other man he's trying to get to go see it is sharing a bed with him maybe.
00:21:45
Speaker
AAW, night one. I know that we're gonna get to see our boy MJF. Yeah, MJF versus Cabana, night one. Why would I ever even need a night two? No, that would be great, but I'm not. Colt Cabana, not to be confused with Cabana Mandan. Yeah, there can be some confusion with that now. Did I see that Cabana stopped doing the podcast? I haven't heard anything about that. I think he said he's slowing down on it. Well, fair enough.
00:22:16
Speaker
Honestly, the match I am most looking forward to right now on Night One's card is Willie Mack versus Ace Romero. Yeah, that's gonna be fun. It's crazy to me how Ace is another guy that we saw a long time ago and we've watched him kind of grow into a sensation. If he can do that move to Willie Mack where he throws him into the crowd on us, that's absolutely gonna happen.
00:22:43
Speaker
That's going to happen. Don't we get to see lucha brothers too? Supposedly they were wrestling both nights, but now the only tag match I'm seeing listed is LAX who I guess has the tag titles versus the besties in the world. Or besties? Super besties? What are they called, Derek? The besties. The besties. They don't come around here. I've only gotten to see them up with you. Yeah, I've seen them a couple times. They still have an amazing entrance.
00:23:11
Speaker
Let's see, this is a weird one to me. Josh Alexander, who at my first PWG show had a match that I was told was to be his final wrestling match. And I don't know if he had an injury and had to retire, but apparently he's back. Cause I've been seeing his name all over ND cards lately. Weren't there rumors a while back that Nick Gage was considering?
00:23:38
Speaker
hanging him up? Like, or did you talk to him? Like, where did we talk about that before? Where you said Nick Gage kind of implied that he was going to be done. I've never said this. And you're breaking news to me that I don't know if I can emotionally handle right now. This was thing month. This was the thing months ago. You like where he's like, he had alluded that he was too hurt. Oh, that was a while ago, wasn't it? He did say something that he was pretty beat up to you.
00:24:06
Speaker
No, I there's no way I had this conversation where he's like, I'm done. I remember him telling me like he told me that that match in Chicago like really fucked him up. But I don't remember him saying that. Yeah, I don't know. I felt like we talked about this. But just yeah, I mean, sometimes. Yeah, I thought. OK, and here's another one. Nate's spider web.
00:24:27
Speaker
Didn't he, when we saw him at GCW, wasn't he wrapping up his career and now he's back out there doing stuff again? Yeah, I kept hearing that he was towards the end, but I've actually seen him wrestle a bunch of times since then. He's the one that I saw wrestle MJF during the match with Wetus and everything. Yeah. So not uncommon for guys to say that they're done and then be back. But he's actually taking on Jake something. Oh, shit.
00:24:56
Speaker
Jim Lyman Memorial Tournament is a two-nighter. First time going. Eddie Kingston versus Jimmy Jacobs, goddamn Kurt Stallions on this thing. Yeah, damn, this is gonna be fun. This is gonna be a good night. Plus we get to see LAX versus Besties. Yeah, this is gonna be a good night for sure.
00:25:15
Speaker
So Thursday's gonna be fun at AAW. We may or may not get some of Night 2 AAW, but definitely that GCW card we just went over.
AEW All Out Card Discussion
00:25:25
Speaker
Let's get to the big shit here, Garrett. I don't even think I know the full card for All Out. Okay. Because I just saw Joey Janela talking about some Cracker Barrel Clash. Oh, the Cracker Barrel Clash is now the official name for the three-way between him, Darby Allen, and Avoc.
00:25:43
Speaker
Okay, I wanted to understand why this got a special name Do you think that cracker barrel chose that match to sponsor it or do you think all the other wrestlers are like? No, you're not naming our match the cracker barrel clash and they're like, we'll just put it on Janellas. He'll do anything They did work in the the cracker barrel spot last year at all in so I
00:26:08
Speaker
Let's see. So going down, I'm on Wikipedia right now and it's showing me that the pre-show loving this, this is going to be good. Private Party versus Angelico and Jack Evans. And I don't think anyone has been disappointed with Jack Evans and Angelico and AEW so far.
00:26:29
Speaker
They've- I saw we're gonna get Luchasaurus, Jungle Boy, and Marco Stunt against SCU. Hell yeah. And it's not on the pre-show. That's a main card show. That's some main- it should be on the main card. I saw that Luchasaurus is having his final bar wrestling soon, so he must be coming back from the Indies. It seems like maybe they are cutting some of them off.
00:26:55
Speaker
I feel like this is as good a time as any to talk about something that has happened since the last time we recorded. Yeah. Jon Moxley is not going to be wrestling at all out this weekend. Everyone who's probably listened to this podcast knows this by now. And Kenny Omega cut a motherfucker of a promo on him. He did. Cocky Kenny's back. Oh, man. But everything he said is what you kind of thought, right? Didn't you say some of that on the last episode?
00:27:23
Speaker
about what about like moxley or was this a conversation i had with somebody else just about moxley going off and doing new japan and like him possibly getting hurt before he gets to this big match
00:27:37
Speaker
Yeah I had been I had been warning about that for a while considering he was AEW's big get. He's been that's my only concern if they're going to have kind of like this open door policy with their guys like if they can go work other places it's going to be difficult to book really big angles around them and sell paper views.
00:27:58
Speaker
If there's a possible- I mean, again, this was not anything due to, like, something happening in a match. It's Murs' sack and his elbow. I don't know what the fuck that means. Don't know a goddamn thing about it. You sounded great saying it, though. You could have been on ER.
00:28:12
Speaker
Yeah, thank you. But he's getting that removed so he doesn't have that issue anymore. He's going to miss all out. To me, it's going to be fine. AEW is not going to bomb because of this, but it does suck. It is a big loss because that was the big story coming out of Double or Nothing, and everyone was pretty excited to see
00:28:34
Speaker
John Moxley, former WWE guy, the big get for AEW, like I said, taking on Kenny Omega, who's been like the hottest name in wrestling the last couple of years. And that's not happening now, we're getting Kenny Omega versus Pac, which is exciting. And like you said, it's gonna be a very good match, very athletic. But star power dropped a little bit, and now they just have a little bit longer to build the match between Moxley and Omega. But it's definitely not happening this weekend, and that sucks.
00:29:04
Speaker
Yeah, still a match. I'm going to look forward to down on the road. I am really torn because they definitely gave him an opponent that he is going to put on a memorable match with. It's just, I think the thing that sucks is that again, I'm not saying that this is killing AEW. They had this issue at double or nothing where they had advertised hangman versus Pac.
00:29:29
Speaker
and a lot of people were excited about it and it didn't happen. And then the big thing that they ended Double or Nothing with, that angle, that's now not happening at the show. But there's other things on here, obviously, to be excited about. The ladder match, Garrett.
00:29:46
Speaker
Is this the match you're looking forward to most? No, I'm actually still looking most forward to Hangman. Hangman Jericho is still my match of the night that I'm most looking forward to. Maybe my second is Janela Allen Havoc.
00:30:01
Speaker
Okay, that being said, I know the ladder match is going to be excellent, but I also have no idea what Janela Havoc and Alan are going to do. And I've just been so excited about Hangman for so long now, finally getting to see him have this big moment would be really, really cool.
00:30:19
Speaker
Probably know that's gonna happen. No, I'm saying it would be really really cool So you're gonna see me lose my mind for hangman throughout the match Get really excited and probably leave a little bit sad but overall happy Well, I I think Moxley Omega was the match I was looking forward to most now probably the ladder match I
00:30:44
Speaker
I don't know. We'll see what this pay-per-view ends up shaking out to be, but I mean, it's gonna be a good one regardless.
Upcoming Events and Travel Plans
00:30:50
Speaker
I'm excited about it. We've got a whole weekend full of fucking amazing wrestling to see, and we're gonna make some good content for the listeners.
00:31:00
Speaker
Yeah, I can't wait to just watch a bunch of wrestling with you. And my plan, too, is to bring the recorder with us to the movie theater, not during the movie, obviously, but so the second we walk out of that theater, we can turn that thing on and immediately talk about Hobbs and Shaw. What if I don't like it, Garrett? Then you're going to have to be really honest with me. And because it's going to make for an even better show.
00:31:29
Speaker
Well, now that I know that, now I feel obligated to be dead on it. See, don't manipulate my perspective on this man. God, we're actually missing a match right now on NXT that I wanna be watching.
00:31:42
Speaker
Well, you can watch it while you pack. I don't pack well, Derek. You have so much shit that you have to get done between now and when you get up at like, what, three in the morning? Probably four. All right. I'll probably get up at four. But yeah, no, tomorrow's gonna be exhausting. I'm gonna be really ready to sleep, but I also am gonna be really, really ready to record. So I'm gonna be ready to just jump straight into it. I think my seats on the plane are pretty shitty. I actually have to get on the plane last, I found out.
00:32:11
Speaker
I really hope they don't make me check my bag because then all of our podcasts and equipment will just disappear. Do you feel like they're gonna lose it if they make you check your bag? I feel like they're gonna lose it in goddamn Pittsburgh.
00:32:26
Speaker
That's terrifying. The good news is, even if they do, we, I have a recorder here. That's true. And we're still gonna see wrestling. It's gonna be great no matter what it, there's gonna be great content. It's gonna be a fun weekend. I actually need to, we need to get off of here soon. Cause I gotta edit this, putted it out, putted it, putted it, what is that? Putted it, putted it. Finish your, finish your claw. I got a, well, claws done.
00:32:49
Speaker
Gotta put it out, pack my bags, get the hell to Chicago, watch a full weekend of wrestling with you. Because I didn't even mention, I'm going to Luca, or Bizarro Luca in Indianapolis on the way back. Our buddies Alex and Neil are going to give me a ride back to Nashville.
00:33:08
Speaker
I am excited to see you. For those who are listening to the show right now, Garrett has made it clear over the last couple of weeks that he's just looking for a good hang, and that's what I'm gonna give him. God, I need that. That makes me happy to hear you say that. Garrett, get off of here, get ready, and yeah. Hit our goddamn music.
