Introduction and Gratitude
00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome, everyone.
00:00:21
Speaker
This is a special occasion. This is my pilot episode for my new spin-off show that I have for the Chick Foley Show feed. If you don't know by now, I'm the MVP Marco. And you've heard my voice before, maybe you haven't. If you're new to this, welcome. But if not, then...
00:00:43
Speaker
you know what you're about to get. Well, maybe not really. Um, but, uh, I wanted to start this off with, uh, just a quick, you know, quick thank you, uh, you know, some thank yous and you know, some well-to-dos.
Acknowledgments to Supportive Communities
00:00:57
Speaker
So, uh, first order of business is to definitely, you know, give a shout out and a thank you to, uh, Sheena Phelps, AKA Chick Foley, who, uh, pretty much gave me the start on this platform. So, you know, she was the one that, you know,
00:01:12
Speaker
gave me the wings so I could fly, essentially, in this thing. So very thankful that we connected a few years back and look at where we are now. And speaking of Chick Foley, she's going to be the official first
00:01:33
Speaker
interviewee when the show debuts. But I do have a special guest tonight that I'm going to interview in a few. I just want to, like I said, get some house cleaning done. The second set of people I'd like to thank is the Foley fam because obviously without them, without any listeners, they won't get to hear my
00:01:56
Speaker
my drivel every so often. I'm very thankful for them and I'm thankful for the Facebook group that we have and the people that I've met in that Facebook group. Way too many to name off right now, but you're definitely a part of my life in more ways than you can think of.
00:02:20
Speaker
Um, and I can't be thankful enough for everyone out there. I know this sounded sappy and we'll get to the, the good stuff soon, but I just have to get, get all this out before, you know, the first episode, um, the, the, the, you know, the last but not least.
Show Format and Inspiration
00:02:35
Speaker
Um, actually probably second to the last would be the pod foundation. Um, and that's a group that, you know, Sheena and Seth, uh, her husband created, um, with the idea of, you know, bringing a bunch of, you know, different wrestling podcast creators or creators in general, um, you know, just try to help each other out, promote each other's shows, you know, you know, get on each other's platforms and, you know,
00:02:59
Speaker
kind of cross pollinate our, our fan base. So, um, the, if you don't know about the pod foundation, I always say it's the best, um, you know, the greatest collection of wrestling minds since the NWO. Um, and the, uh, it obviously consists of to check fully show, um, you know, Sheena, myself and, and Seth, um, the next, uh, show on that, I would probably say he's the extra cooler show, um, with extra cooler himself, Nick and his, uh, and his best pal, Matt.
00:03:29
Speaker
Um, we also have coming down the aisle with Jay bone, uh, AKA John Swallow. He's a, he's a, he's a great guy as well. Great show. If you haven't heard of yet. Um, and you know, last but not least, uh, the term buckle tavern. Um, and as we call these guys the two bad chads and, um, I picked them as the last because, you know, they kind of bridged a gap between myself and, you know,
00:03:55
Speaker
What i'm doing now i'm good obviously heard me on the chick fully show but i'm you know we're doing it not as much as we. Would like to a kind of doing it sporadically sporadically so they excuse me so they you know they kinda reached out and said hey we're doing a wwe show on our feed you wanna jump in some you know jump in and.
00:04:16
Speaker
I'm doing their weekly show called The Raw Down. That's myself and J-Bone, along with Young Anthony, as we call him, who's a part of the independent epicenter. Check that out on IG. But yeah, that's basically my travels in a nutshell. So you'll get to hell, but I don't want to go too deep into it, because when I interview Sheena, we're probably going to talk a lot about that back in the day stuff.
00:04:44
Speaker
and stuff that she has going on in her life. So we'll get to that at a later date. So basically it's an option of the show. I like to call it in a nutshell.
00:04:57
Speaker
The Joe Rogan Experience meets Oro Sessions by Rene Paquette. It's basically just going to be like an open forum, hence the name open mic. If you think of open mic, you think comedy. You think someone's first time on the stage, which is basically my first time on a stage. I'm doing this myself, essentially.
00:05:17
Speaker
Yeah, that's basically the idea of it. It's going to be an open conversation.
First Guest: Mrs. MVP
00:05:21
Speaker
I'll try to guide it as much as I can. Wrestling will be the foundation of the show. But there's a lot of people I meet online, a lot of different podcasts. There's a lot of different creators that I come across. I want to showcase them and who they are, obviously where they got their start.
00:05:39
Speaker
you know, how they got their start, and kind of introduce them to our audience, as well as, you know, us getting to do say their audience. So, you know, I think that obviously there's room for growth. And this being the first episode, you know, hopefully there's many more afterwards.
00:05:55
Speaker
tell you the truth, not sure if the show's going to even air, but I'll have the Phelps fam listen to it, see if they want to throw the pilot out there, and if they do, that's totally fine. I don't have any qualms about that as well, so we'll see how that goes.
00:06:11
Speaker
But right now, I actually want to introduce my guest, my first ever guest, technically, which is a special guest. She's also to thank for this, because she pretty much puts up with it every week. Because, you know, we have a family of three kids, and you get crazy if you have a family out there and you have three kids or more, even one. You know, it gets a little crazy, things get hectic. But we kind of manage and, you know, I'm able to do this.
00:06:41
Speaker
I thought I'd bring her on so she can tell her side of the story. Hopefully it's a good one. It puts me in a positive light, not a bad one. I have here, as everyone calls her, Mrs. MVP because they don't know her actual name. Let me introduce Mrs. MVP. State your name.
00:07:03
Speaker
So first of all, I swear to God, if you were not going to thank me for this, I was going to literally kill you. But also I am, yes, Mrs. MVP, known as Kimberly. And also if this turns to shit, you can blame it on me.
00:07:24
Speaker
No, that was a plan anyway. You're going to be the fall guy. I'm the trial interviewer, so if it goes to shit, it's all my fault. You can blame it all on me. At least next week, if I interview Sheena, it gets bad. I mean, we could kind of blame each other or she could just blame me. Yeah, you could just probably blame me. It's fine. We'll say Kimberly curse the show. Yeah, it's like the Kardashian curse. Well, actually, no, I don't want to be compared to that. Never mind.
00:07:51
Speaker
All right. Yeah. So yeah. So like I said, anything goes bad. We're just going to use her to blame. So that'll be the, uh, that'll be a little inside joke. But, um, so I kind of wanted to, uh, I was actually thinking of something earlier. Um, because when we first started dating, there was a night where, um, I think we were waiting for one of my friends and, uh, he took forever to, I think he like worked late or something like that. And he didn't, he didn't tell us we were all supposed to go out and hang out and stuff, but it was a Monday.
00:08:21
Speaker
Monday Night Raw was on. No. Tuesday. It was Tuesday. Tuesday Smackdown. Oh yeah, that's right. Tuesday Smackdown. Yes. Yeah, so yeah, that's right. You came over and you actually sat down and watched
00:08:34
Speaker
whole episode with Cindy Wood basically just kind of confused as to why some people were still alive and still wrestling. Still living, yeah. Yeah, so I think one of them was Joey King-Waller. Yep. I was shocked he was still alive. Yeah. I think Rob Van Dam showed up. Shocked he was still wrestling, yes. At the time, yeah. He was still wrestling on that, so yeah. So what were your initial thoughts first and foremost, would you like
00:09:02
Speaker
I mean, I'm not sure if I told you that I like watch. No, I knew you were into wrestling. And so my backstory is I got into I was actually really into wrestling when I was. Oh, God, I think I was a junior in high school, so that was like 2000, 2001. One of my friends introduced me to it, and that's when the rock was like at his really climbing up the ladder. And I just got hooked on it. And then
00:09:32
Speaker
I would watch every Raw, every SmackDown. I'd watch every pay-per-view, mainly because my father had a black box. FBI don't come for me, but everybody would come over because we had a black box. And if you don't know what a black box is, then you're an infant in my eyes. Yeah, pretty much.
00:09:52
Speaker
And then I graduated high school, turned into a party disaster and so I kind of just stopped watching it. And when I started dating you, I was just, it's kind of like a soap opera and I hate, I know people kind of don't get it, but when you watch a soap opera and you haven't watched it for years. Yeah.
00:10:14
Speaker
Yeah. And then you watch it again. It's like,
Evolution of Women's Roles in Wrestling
00:10:17
Speaker
oh, you're like right back to where, like you didn't miss anything. Yeah. But it's just crazy that I would see some of these people on SmackDown and I would say to you, oh my God, he's still alive.
00:10:28
Speaker
Oh my God, he's still wrestling? It just shocked me. But nowadays, I'm not as hardcore when it comes to watching wrestling, but I do. I'll watch the occasional SmackDown. I'll watch the pay-per-views and stuff like that.
00:10:49
Speaker
a diehard fan, but I do enjoy it. It is entertaining to me. And I was also that girl in high school who would wear the rock pants.
00:11:01
Speaker
and the rock t-shirt and just all the girls looked at me like I was such a douchebag. But I just wanted to bring it back to, because I was going to say when did you stop, but obviously you- I turned 18, graduated high school and just turned into a blackout with my rock out girl.
00:11:22
Speaker
Yeah, so I mean, obviously, as a guy, guys never... I mean, they still do that, but if they're wrestling fans, they're still going to watch wrestling. Something might lose interest at some point, I did. I think even Seth, when we talked about it before, around high school, maybe even after a little bit after that. For me, it was like UFC came along.
00:11:44
Speaker
And, um, I was waiting. Well, I shouldn't say you. Yeah. UFC, but MMA more than anything. So I really got into MMA and like just stopped watching wrestling altogether. Cause I was like, obviously I know wrestling is predetermined. We don't use the F word around here. What do I say? What do I say? And people might get mad. What do I say? It's not fake, but it is a soap opera for men because of the storyline. Yeah.
00:12:09
Speaker
And then obviously mma and all that that's like that's like yeah that's hardcore yeah you straight up just gonna beat somebody up and kill try to kill him yeah exactly but yeah even that i like got out of it a little bit then came back i think i like i left around the time like.
00:12:25
Speaker
I want to say when the rock and stone cold maybe left, one of them left. That was like early 2000s maybe. I forget, I'm not even sure exactly what year that was. I'm horrible with my memory, but yeah, no, you don't have to- I was going to say, you're talking to me.
00:12:44
Speaker
I'm nervous about what you're going to ask me about. I'm going to be like, I literally was in the shower trying to figure out, wait a minute, when was that time? Yeah. And why were we there and what happened? No, we'll get to that. But yeah, the other part of that too is like you did say you like, you know,
00:13:01
Speaker
I think even when we started dating too, there was WrestleMania 30.
Wrestling Memories and Family Aspirations
00:13:07
Speaker
You were just about to go to New Orleans. Yeah, I was just about to go to New Orleans and stuff like that. You were fine with it. I mean, it was a guy's trip anyway. Yeah. You're not into wrestling at the time enough to- Yeah, but also, I mean, you already had that plan before we were- True. I mean, if I told you not to go, then I'm a real asshole and you should have left me. True, true.
00:13:30
Speaker
The other the other part of that too is yeah, we'll definitely get to the Mick Foley story because that's another that's something I want to ask you as well. But who was like, who are some of your favorites? As a guy when you were watching it anyway, obviously, and he will always be my all time favorite is stone cold. Yeah, I mean,
00:13:51
Speaker
How do you not love that man? If you don't like Stone Cold, I just don't. There's something wrong with you. Even if you're not a wrestling fan. Even if you're not a wrestling fan, one of my good friends has no idea about wrestling, but she watches his, what was it? The Broken, not the podcast, the show he did? The Broken Skull Ranch. Yeah. She loves that. It's hard not to love him.
00:14:16
Speaker
you know, as a wrestler and just, you know, I would love to drink a beer with him. My God, that'd be awesome. I was. I loved Edge.
00:14:29
Speaker
loved him. I was of course a rock fan because I think every red blooded female was like just loved him. Who else? I'm trying to think like female wise. Leda, I mean, to me is just such a queen for God's sakes. And I also had such a girl crush on Tristratus. Yep.
00:14:55
Speaker
Because I just was in love with her. That's so weird. I was watching, there was a, I was on Instagram, there was like someone posted a reel of a, like, you know, I'm not even sure where it was from. It looked like it was from like an award show. And it was like, it was Trisha, it was like Trisha was on stage talking and Pamela Anderson was actually in the crowd. I mean, I called her up on stage for something. And I was like, I forget, you forget they're both Canadians. It was like, yeah, there's basically something about, you know,
00:15:21
Speaker
like, well, two Canadian women, blah, blah, blah. And like, Trish Stratus is like the Pamela Anderson of the WWE. Yeah, I mean, she I mean, that's how I mean, even now she's still she's gorgeous, for God's sakes. You don't mean with my with my girl crushes. I'm like open and honest about I have plenty of them. Oh, yeah. Plenty of them.
00:15:40
Speaker
know, I definitely want to take it back to something else that you said too, when you, when you said something like where, you know, you could stop watching it,
Creating Content and Future Plans
00:15:47
Speaker
but then you take a break and you come back. And you still kind of like, you can pick up where you left off. And I think a lot of people forget. A lot of people get mad that like, you know, WWE in particular, they bring back
00:15:59
Speaker
Edge is still wrestling, and Brock Lesnar is still around, and all these people come back, but that's for people like you, like the occasionals, as they call them, where if you stop watching it for a few months or a year, and you go back, you'll have that one person that you can attach to, and then you find new people that you like. Yeah. I do. Definitely. I do this. There's new, well, I shouldn't say new, but wrestlers now,
00:16:28
Speaker
I'm now getting to know and stuff like that.
00:16:31
Speaker
because of that. Yeah, like theory you love. No, I'm joking. He's a D bag and you know how I feel about that. I keep telling Marco, I would love for him to do like just video reactions of every time I watch it with him. Because some of the, I just, some of them I just, I can't. Yeah, you might have to do something like that where if I'm watching raw one night, I'll just come down and we'll set up the microphone and you can just
00:16:59
Speaker
Uh, react to that. I just, my, my reactions, I don't have a good poker face. You know that. My face does everything. Oh, maybe. Yeah. I mean, we can do something like that. Cause I watch that. Like when we watch Smackdown, I'm just like, I know I'm over this. Like I love the maximum male models. I think it's hilarious. That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my goddamn life. It's funny. I'm trying not to swear, but I can't help it.
00:17:26
Speaker
No, that's not being silly. It's funny. No. No. I think so. This is our first debate. Let us know, fully fan of you listening. Maximum male models, yay or nay. I'm a fan of it. Stupid. I thought it was stupid at first, but then that SummerSlam commercial that they did, where they were like drinking that
00:17:53
Speaker
I think it was called Pure Life Water or something like that. They're like splashing each other and squirting. It was hilarious. It was funny. Okay. Whatever makes you sleep good. All right, we'll move on. One of the main things is, actually another person you
00:18:14
Speaker
said you love is Triple H. Oh my God, I love him. Who's now the... We talk about this too. So for the people that listen, obviously...
00:18:25
Speaker
my wife doesn't watch wrestling religiously, but obviously the news out there is obviously with Vince McMahon going through his stuff and him basically stepping down and then retiring and all the stuff, Triple H stepping in. We both talked about we never thought we'd see anything like that happen, but then obviously before all this, we talked about how you said
00:18:51
Speaker
Tell me what you used to do with the Triple H. I used to do the Triple H intro, like hardcore. Like this is back when, you know, social media, even cell phones with videos, I mean, with cameras even existed. But I, one of these days, I'll do it right now. I can, like, I rock that friggin shit.
00:19:14
Speaker
to spit the water out and everything, do the whole- Oh, I do the whole entrance. I did that to a T. I would do that during one of like pay-per-view and stuff, do it in my house and mom would be screaming at me because there'd be water freaking everywhere because I'd spit it all over the freaking living room and then she's all pissed off at me and I'm like, relax, it's water, get over it. Oh yeah. I love Triple H. I love Stephanie. I just think they're the ultimate power couple.
00:19:44
Speaker
You know what, nowadays, it's a good thing Triple H isn't wrestling anymore because I don't think doing that water thing would be socially acceptable with all the stuff that's happening in the world. Don't start. We won't go down the political side. Don't you dare. But other than that, yeah, so you brought up earlier, I was going to leave it as a
00:20:10
Speaker
kind of like a secret, but you kind of put the cat out of the bag. Nick Foley. I've never met Nick Foley. I've met a lot of wrestlers, but he's definitely not one of them. We'll have the proof, so if this does air, if they do post it, you will see the cover art is that fateful day.
00:20:33
Speaker
18-year-old Kim, yes. Like you said, do you remember where it was? It was in Revere. I do remember that. He was promoting, oh God. Revere Mass for people that don't know. Yeah. And it was, I think it was, remember that show he did? It was like,
00:20:49
Speaker
robot wars or something like that, or bot wars or something like that. Yeah, because I think Chris Jericho hosted some, did he host the same show or were they separate shows? I don't know. It was something like that. I remember early 2000s, there was a lot of robot type of shows happening. Yeah, and I think he was promoting that and he was in Riviera and a couple of my girlfriends wanted to go and I'm like, yeah, I'll go. Why not? Where was it? Oh, it was like some comic book place in Riviera.
00:21:18
Speaker
trying to think. Sorry. It's irrelevant. And so I was like, yeah, I'll go. Why not? So it didn't cost us anything to go. You didn't have to buy anything. He literally was just there just to promote.
00:21:32
Speaker
the show. You had to buy a ticket to get in or pay for an autograph. No, you didn't have to pay. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. That's pretty cool. He took pictures and these were back in the day when they were Polaroids. Yeah. You don't know what a Polaroid is. Again, you're an infant in my eye. Free Polaroids and he would sign it. Honest to God, one of the nicest, nicest humans I've ever met in my life.
00:22:01
Speaker
Yeah. Cause I was telling you like his podcast, um, that he has out now the, uh, fully his pod is like, you could tell he's like the nicest guy. I guess he's, he, uh, for if cameo, you know what that is that, um, you can like get a celebrity. I guess he has the most.
00:22:19
Speaker
like he's like the highest rated cameo person because he literally enjoys doing it. Yeah. And he talks about how much he loves, like he's, you know, he like sing song, he'll like make up a song or take a Christmas song and rewrite it for someone's birthday or it's, it's pretty cool. But just you saying that you definitely tell. But the other side of that too, is like, if you watch him,
00:22:41
Speaker
He's wasn't he was like a sadistic dude, but he's yeah at the same time the nicest guy so like I always thought that's like with a lot of people is that they're the nicest people and they have to turn into character and they have that that all that ego that that alter ego where they're they turn into that person that they
00:23:03
Speaker
never wanted to be. Well, that wanted to be, but never wanted to be, if that makes any sense whatsoever. When you go to one of those meet and greets and stuff, they're like, okay, picture, blah, blah, blah. No, the line was out the door around the corner, but he took the time with every single person.
00:23:28
Speaker
even though people behind him were trying to rush him, no, he didn't care. That says a lot about somebody where he's like, no, if this person wants to talk to me for five, 10 minutes, I'm going to listen to them. That to me is just immediate respect.
00:23:49
Speaker
Oh, yeah, that goes a long way. I mean, definitely, especially, you know, like I said, if he was on the podcast, he talks about like the how, you know, how fortunate he's been in his career and stuff like that. And he's so, you know, to this day, like, people, he's surprised people still know who he is. That's the other side of that. Like he, he's not expecting your wrestler back in the late 90s or early 80s or even started in the 80s and working your way to end your career. He ended his career pretty early. Yeah, he was very broken.
00:24:18
Speaker
Yeah, it's just the stuff that the people that he knows and like, like, also when you like he knows jewel, like he's like friends of jewel, the singer, which is weird, though, weird in itself. And like, he just named drops all these I mean, look at Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart, for God's sake. Yeah, but they're kind of like household names almost. But like, would you expect Mick Foley to be having dinner with with jewel?
00:24:45
Speaker
But I also would never in my wildest dreams expect Martha Stewart to be having dinner with Snoop Dogg Although she went to jail. So she's like hardcore. Yeah Women's jail. She's hardcore. They both did there actually didn't see me to go to jail, you know, probably Yeah, I don't know. I should assume that anyway. No you did but um That's pretty much all I had that was uh, that was pretty
00:25:09
Speaker
What about you? Who did I surprise you with? Who you got to chat with? Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, Kofi. Kofi Kingston, yeah, because Kofi is one of our friends. He went to high school with Kofi actually.
00:25:29
Speaker
And they actually, you know, scheduled a time where I was actually I could actually, you know, have a conversation with Kofi, basically FaceTime, which is pretty cool. So yeah, I was pretty, that was pretty sick. Yeah, that was that was awesome. Yeah, I told my friend Andrew, he went to high school with Kofi and still friends with Kofi. And
00:25:53
Speaker
I don't know where the conversation was going, but we decided, I was like, okay, I want to surprise Marco and get to actually chat with Kofi and of course with his schedule. It's insane. And so Andrew texted me one day and he said, listen, I can get him to talk to Kofi at this time, blah, blah, blah, but play stupid, which
00:26:20
Speaker
Very easy for me. So Andrew was coming over and I was like, and I, well, actually I said to you, I said, oh, by the way, Andrew's coming over today. And he was like, oh, okay. I thought it was whatever. And I was like, well, he's, he's coming over, whatever. So obviously all of a sudden he's FaceTiming Kofi and chat with him. Yeah, I was surreal a little bit. Um, yeah, basically, you know,
00:26:48
Speaker
told him that. He's really appreciative of people that, which Andrew did say. He's always been the same since he's been in high school and he's always been appreciative of people that are fans of him or look up to him and all that type of stuff. I basically told him that. It's not really a spoiler if you listen to the Chick Foley show, but he was the topic of discussion when I was first
00:27:14
Speaker
When I first made my appearance on the show, we talked about, you know, him winning the title at WrestleMania. So I kind of told him about that. I was like, Hey, I was like, you kind of like got me into podcasts. And I was like, because you're one of the topics. And so he was like, Oh, man, that's great. He's like, I love to hear stories like that. Well, it was, it was actually really cool. The other cool thing is at Andrew's house where, uh, well, I'm not sure if we still are, but that year, uh, that holiday season, our holiday card was above
00:27:41
Speaker
Yes. Kofi Kingston's family's holiday cards. I was like, we're legit now. We're right there with Kofi, so we're legit. If you ever got to talk to Kofi again, that's one of the first things I was going to tell him was Andrew put us above your family in his refrigerator. Well, I wonder about this year though, this past year.
00:28:04
Speaker
Oh yeah, we did. Yeah, we did go over there this time. I'll have to figure it out. I'll have to head over and see. Yeah, because he keeps it up until the next Christmas. Yeah. I'll have to ask him where we are on that. Yeah, we better be at the top again. Yeah, and Andrew has always said that Kofi really is the same person he was back in high school, and he really genuinely appreciates every single person that supports him, and that's why
00:28:30
Speaker
when Andrew told him about you, he was like, we'll figure something out. So that, again, says a lot.
00:28:39
Speaker
Actually, the other thing I want to bring up is how do you feel about our son, Lucas, talking about going into the WWE and carrying all the belts around? Listen, I will never, ever, ever, ever squash any of my children's dreams, ever. I never want to be that person.
00:29:02
Speaker
It's gonna skip if you if he actually is truly passionate and he wants to do that I will support him a hundred percent. It's gonna skip the shit out of me Yeah, of course course, but I mean if he lives it breeds it wants it Yeah, of course. I'm gonna support him. I tell him all the time daddy and I will be front and center every single time I mean, I'm what I'm thinking more the girls are gonna be that
00:29:31
Speaker
you know, the future Bella twins because they're vicious.
00:29:34
Speaker
Well, I mean, with him, too, I like, you know, I'll show him like, matches and stuff like that. And I'll show them like, you know, he is an athletic kid does that too, but he doesn't get that you have to like, actually, he like, I know he like he's, he's young, he's five, he's going on six this month. But like, you know, he'll see things like he'll see the offensive stuff. Yeah, right. And think that's no problem. But then he'll see like,
00:30:01
Speaker
the person like fall or flip over something or land on something and he's like, I'm like, you know, you have to do that, right? And he's like, I don't want to do that. We had that discussion today when he's like, well, I don't want to get hit. That's a given. That's just how it is. They got to beat you up. You're going to get hurt.
00:30:23
Speaker
kicked around and punched around and thrown around. Yeah, that's part of being a wrestler. Yeah. He's like, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this to them. But he's so cute. Yeah, it's funny. But we'll see how long- I see the girls being more vicious than anything. One of them. They get it from me.
00:30:42
Speaker
But, um, yeah, I mean, like you said, he kind of like plans out his matches already and we'll see what happens. Hey, you know what? Again, I will never grow out of it. You never know. I will never say no to my kids having their dreams. And I, if they want to do that, that's, um, I fully support that. Same here, but I do want to have a conversation about, remember you were, what the hell were you watching like a month ago about, and it was, um,
00:31:12
Speaker
how it was, um, what the hell was it? They were talking about how like women were just so like, that's our cat. Yeah. If you had jingling, that's our cat. We're trying to stop her. Give a no Fs while we're recording right now. She doesn't give a fuck. I love her. Um, we were talking about how like women were just so like, yep, there you go. Women was so awful.
00:31:44
Speaker
women were so like, I don't know, we were watching something and I was like, I can't believe like it was so like normalized that women were so like, just nothing but just what's the one I'm looking for? I don't know.
00:32:02
Speaker
Demoralized, basically. Oh, yeah. I was watching the old Peacock. I was watching, I think, SummerSlam or something like that, like an old pay-per-view. Yeah. It was just like the bra and panties matches and all that crazy stuff. Yeah. I was thinking to myself, back in the day, it was like that was so- Oh, it was Trish Stratus. She got picked to the table by Devan. Yes. Not Devan. Bubba Ray Dudley. That's what it was. Yes. Yeah. I said to Marco, I'm like,
00:32:29
Speaker
It's amazing how back in the day that was so normal and it was so normalized and yet now it's like, oh my God, you couldn't even dare even think of doing something like that. Although I do have to say, I'm glad that women are more empowered when it comes to WWE and everything. I want my girls to be able to watch something and say,
00:32:59
Speaker
And again, I'm not that, you know, let's burn our bras. I am woman, hear me, war shit. But, you know, for our girls to be able to see women that are just so
00:33:12
Speaker
I mean, incredibly strong and incredibly athletic. And it's like, it's just changed so much compared to when I used to watch it. And they were all nothing but a bunch of just sex symbols. Yeah, pretty. I mean, there were there were like the ones like we talked about earlier, like Trish Stratus and Lita, Molly Holly.
00:33:30
Speaker
No. I agree. Leah was different. The reason why I liked Lita is she was very different. Oh, yeah. She was like the before page. Because you had the whole, the blonde hair, the big boobs and all that stuff. And then here comes Lita, who she was very different but so beautiful, not to mention extremely athletic. And I think that's why I loved her so much because she was just very different.
00:34:00
Speaker
And now it's like, you see all these women now and it's like, did you ever talk about how everybody thinks our children think I'm Charlotte Flair?
00:34:12
Speaker
I don't know if they ever brought that up on the show. I don't even remember. I've done so many shows. So it's very odd. And I don't know if I take it as a compliment or not because I kind of think, and no offense to Charlotte, I think she kind of has a manly face, but that's fine. But when Lucas was little, our son, every time Marco would watch wrestling when Charlotte was on, he would always say, mama mama. Yeah, yeah.
00:34:42
Speaker
And we're like, okay, that's weird, but he would always, anytime he saw Charlotte, it was me. Which, again, I would take her height. I'm only 411. I'll take her height. I'll take those frigging six-pack. Yeah, 100%. But then when the girls were born,
00:35:05
Speaker
when you would watch wrestling, same thing. Yeah, they would say the same thing, yeah. They would literally, and even to this day, they think, I'm Charlotte. Yeah, that's weird. It's the most bizarro thing. Again, I won't take it as an insult, but it's just so weird how they think I'm Charlotte Flair. Yeah, it sounds like they had to make a connection too to stuff, to
00:35:27
Speaker
And I think that's probably like, you know, Lucas is like kind of like connection to wrestling is cause he, you know, seen Charlotte and was like, Oh, mommy. And then like, and then it kind of got like, he was, he was like, he liked Daniel Bryan for a little bit. Remember that? There's like a video of him, uh, really watching Daniel Bryan, uh, turn heel on AJ Styles to one of the, the WWE championship. I was, uh, I think, and he like does the running as a referee. Um,
00:35:56
Speaker
But yeah, I mean, most, I mean, I said, we'll see if they ever, you know, join only time will tell. And again, I won't say no to it. It would give me a frigging heart attack. Of course. But I don't think it's cool until something until he takes like a crazy fall or does something insane, which he, I don't know. My friend, my friend's now husband, he was doing MMA for a little bit and we would watch him doing like Mohegan and, um,
00:36:25
Speaker
just watching him getting kicked and punched in the face and I'm like, and I look at my friend, I'm like, how are you okay with this? It's like, this is awesome. I'm like, oh my God, he's getting punched in the face. He's bleeding right now. And she was just so into it. So I'm like, I don't know if I can do that. I just think of like all the, like the what ifs and it's like, it just takes that one little moment and it's like, it just ends your career or it just could really do
00:36:58
Speaker
Partly damage. Yeah. I mean, like his ideas definitely go to the, I mean, it's not, they don't get as crazy as now, depending on where he goes. So if he goes like obviously straight to WWE, then they'll train them and do all that stuff, keep them safe. But, um, I guess I will say time will tell and we'll see if that happens. But, uh, this is fun.
00:37:21
Speaker
It's probably going to get canceled because of me. Yeah, I'll probably not get up another episode. Yep. She's going to be like, nope. That was great. I'm not doing this interview. It was horrible. Nope. I will not blame her at all. No, like I said, it's going to be, it's more of like a open forum type of show. Although you need to, you need more Joe Rogan. You need to like step that up.
00:37:45
Speaker
I don't want to be like Joel. I'm going to say it's kind of like the- No, but I'm just saying, like, you got to be- Just ask questions and just let the person talk. Just like, you know, get, because, you know, he really, you know, pushes that envelope. People hear enough of me. They don't need to hear. I want people to hear the guests more than anything. No one wants to listen to me. Exactly. That's true. What do you mean exactly?
00:38:10
Speaker
Jesus. We're going to end on that note. Now I hate him. All right. Everyone, thanks for listening. If you stayed on this long, I encourage you. I'm sorry. We'll do this again, definitely. I want to have a cool outro song working on that right now.
00:38:33
Speaker
Was that you? That's my intro. Dude, that was fire. Yeah, I loved it. It was done by the lovely and talented Brandy Road. She's the voice of the beginning, but the also lovely and talented Seth Phelps helped out with that. I love that. That was that was fire. So I love that. Yeah. See, that's you did a good job. Good job, Seth. Yeah. But we're going to end it. And I said, thanks for listening.
00:38:59
Speaker
Wait till the next episode if there is one. Yeah. And again, I'm not sorry. I don't care. Yeah. I know you don't. Bye, everyone.
