Introduction and Co-hosts
00:00:34
Speaker
Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Predetermine, a pro wrestling hangout. I'm your host, Garret Callender. And with me is the whole fucking gang. Jimmy facts, no Derek Halpin, which is currently the whole fucking gang. I do love though, how we still copy him on every single text on scheduling. He's invited. He's aware. He's aware of when we're doing this.
00:01:02
Speaker
One day he's going to tell me I'm ready. Let's do it. And he'll be welcome with open arms. Today
Silent Group Chat Member
00:01:10
Speaker
will not be that day, however. And I'm sorry. The best thing is like we only have one group chat. So everything happens. So it's like scheduling for podcasting happens on it. Derek's there doesn't acknowledge. But then like, I don't know, we'll talk about like Sammy Zane.
00:01:26
Speaker
or Mandy Rose last week and like he is in it. He is locked in. It'll be like, I'll message something at two in the morning, go take a shit. And I come out and there's six new messages from Derek. We love him. He seems to be watching WWE. I don't want to make him sound like a bud, but he seems to be watching WWE. I know he's watching AEW cause I get the messages about dynamite in real time.
Zencastr as 'Pud of the Week'
00:01:56
Speaker
Can I propose, is it too early in the podcast for me to propose a Pud of the Week? Never too early. Because I think that my Pud of the Week might be Zencaster, who is the platform we use to record this. You aren't wrong.
00:02:14
Speaker
I will say Zincaster for the most part has been, I would say it's been good. It has done what we've needed. Let me find the email. It provides us with, we don't send these videos out and do a video podcast, but we're doing,
00:02:35
Speaker
you know video of each other all through zencaster like it meets our needs uh and we're not paying a lot for it um but there's zero yeah we're paying zero i got an email from this week that says if i want i can invest in the company and get and be part of the growth which um seems a little shady
Zencastr Investment Opportunities
00:02:55
Speaker
honestly uh that
00:02:56
Speaker
What I wanted to talk about is that Zencaster was like, hey, you guys, you seem to be the only three using this service. And we thought maybe you want a little piece of the pie. Would you like to own it? They're looking for a money mark. Is that what you're saying? Right.
00:03:15
Speaker
Why us that like, but you know, I mean, we do use it and it's good, but also I'm getting to eat the pie without having to pay for the pie. And now they're like, you want to also, you want to start paying for these pies. You've been eating a lot of our pies and it's all, it's Christmas time and I can't feed my family. And then eat your kid with podcasts.
00:03:42
Speaker
And then, you know, what is also suspicious is I've noticed more emails asking for things since we started talking about how much money we're saving with fight plus. So I wonder if they're, they're listening to us. They're hearing us talking about how we're saving this money. And they're like, I don't want them to buy Mandy Rose's only fans. They got to throw a little bit of that money's end casters way.
00:04:05
Speaker
Well, we're plugging you now, Zencaster. I mean, as of now, maybe you are the part of the week because like, you know, I thought we were friends. I thought you're like, hey, man, you can come use my pool. And now you're trying to sell me a fucking like membership card to the pool or like making me buy the chlorine or the shock. You're trying to make me chip in on this pool. I thought we were buds. Yeah, Zencaster, good deal. Again, not nearly as good a deal as Fight Plus, which again,
00:04:33
Speaker
We never need to sponsor us Fight Plus. We will give these plugs away for free. The
Fight Plus Christmas Promotions
00:04:40
Speaker
fact that Fight Plus is doing the 12 Fights of Christmas or whatever they're calling it, where you're getting a live replay of like the Flair Roast and a Logan Paul boxing match. And on Christmas day that my in-laws will absolutely be forced to watch apparently a pretty brutal bare knuckle boxing fight.
00:05:03
Speaker
Absolutely. And by the way, on just because I don't think we got into why we started talking about like one of the reasons why he's on casters also the part of the week is that they don't actually send the invitation. So Garrett initiates these and he sends invitations. I mean, Chris, never get them. I just got one at 10 07 p.m. Eastern time, which was about what, 45 minutes, maybe a little more than 45 minutes after Garrett sent it. Oh, yeah, there it is.
00:05:28
Speaker
There it is. Well, you should be getting a couple more here in the next few hours. I never get more. Whenever this happens, I never get the additional ones. I check my spam. I don't know. Email costs money, I guess? I don't know.
00:05:42
Speaker
Actually, I saw Gmail was trying to get me to invest. I knew that this was going to be a bad show from the beginning, and it wasn't. It was before Zengast. I went on top of my fridge to grab to grab a LaCroix, Limoncello, and I saw a bag of cashews. And I'm like, yes, I'll have I'll have a handful of those before we go. Pop them in my mouth.
00:06:07
Speaker
immediately displeased with the flavor, look down, fucking coconut cashews, get out of here. That threw me off for the rest of the night. Like I'm not, I'm gonna be off my game base. This is the nut you gotta go for. These are roasted garlic almonds and they are fucking sensational.
00:06:31
Speaker
I don't know how to say it, S-O-H-N-R-E-Y. That sounded like you had a stroke. I don't think that was a word. That sounded like you said a Led Zeppelin lyric backwards. You're right, that kind of does sound like when my Irish grandfather would try to say any of his children's names after he had about seven drinks. Chirneys, come over here.
00:07:02
Speaker
No one's name has an S in it. That's it. Oh, shit. I've got a lemon spinny. We should spin drift. You should sponsor us. We've been talking about spender. Spin drift should sponsor all wrestling podcasts at this point. Spin drift should be like Bluetooth was a few years ago and just be sending out cases of spinny's to wrestling podcast and just be like talking about spender. You know, that's my feeling personally.
00:07:27
Speaker
I mean, I will not turn away money from anyone. Even that wrestling promotion that apparently is pretty problematic from last week. Is that Kingwin? Is Kingwin problematic? No, no. In its own right. Oh, yes, it's probably. Garrett'll shill, Garrett'll shill video games from Eastern Europe, but he will not shill, shill porn. Oh, no, he will, he will shill pornography too. He'll shill anything.
00:07:57
Speaker
Whatever you want, like if you want me to sell a flashlight that looks like my mouth, I am in. You know, that was kind of the original podcast sponsor.
00:08:06
Speaker
Yeah. So, but wait, there's the, what is the, cause I listened the last week. I couldn't make it. I was a little under the weather, but like what relationship does the current X P W R does it have any actual relationship to like, Oh yeah. Same, same guy. Oh, it is. Oh, same guy. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I just thought somebody bought like the name on it on the cheap did a Billy Corgan deal. He's just in, he's just like, I'm back.
00:08:33
Speaker
What other 90s rock star is gonna buy the porn man's wrestle violence? Rob Thomas. Well, John Mayer, right? We know John Mayer's a big wrestling fan, you know? And Schlack's body is a wonderland.
00:08:57
Speaker
He really is. Honestly, I had so much fun watching that show and then immediately the look on your face when I was like, it was great. You're like, he's bad. It's fine, Garrett. He is employing wrestlers and no one who's employing wrestlers is... They need to make money too.
00:09:23
Speaker
I mean, I wouldn't I'm not going to go to one of the shows, but if you want to watch them play plus, that's okay. Smooth. Make them pay Rob Thomas's bills forever. It's true. It's true. Did did you guys watch any deathmatch this weekend? Because I I forced it upon a lot of houseguests for
Casey vs Brandon Kirk Death Match
00:09:40
Speaker
days. Not really much. I've watched a lot of wrestling, not really much deathmatch, though. I'll be I'll be honest. I've watched barely any wrestling.
00:09:51
Speaker
Maybe you're part of the week. I'm just kidding, it's still Zengaster. I come here to talk about porn and 90s soft rock. It's not really about the wrestling for me anymore. Get ready for his segment on Lenny Kravitz.
00:10:11
Speaker
I watched one of my favorite death matches in a while. Like it was like a very unique story going in in ICW 39. The main event was Casey Kirk versus Brandon Kirk for the the extreme hardcore death match championship, whatever their thing is. Now they're married, right? Correct. So that's interesting.
00:10:38
Speaker
would you does it seem like this is a good way to work out marital issues was there like a was there a specific issue they'd been dealing with like had brandon not been taking off the garbage or um he i mean he seemed like a shit bag and i watched the match though with the sound off with my guests because there were a couple children around and
00:11:01
Speaker
I figure the commentary on these deathmatch shows usually aren't very articulate. It's a lot of fucks. There's a lot of fucks. They're not even articulate with the fucks where they can at least learn creative cursing. It's just, ah, fuck, he's bleeding out his fucking brain.
00:11:24
Speaker
Well, pre-pandemic, right? Like wrecking rooms were getting big, right? Where like places where you could literally go and just buy like an old 1995 computer and smash it with a sledgehammer. I got to imagine for couples doing just a kind of death match wrestling. That's got to be even more cathartic. But now against each other as a tag team, like if you're destroying someone together, that could be beautiful. You know what I mean?
00:11:50
Speaker
There's definitely people that my wife and I would hit with light tubes together. Like you have another couple that you already have them in your mind. You're like, oh, I would fuck up that guy and his wife. You have to whisper and his wife because it's. No, my wife would hit her.
00:12:10
Speaker
Well, Brandon Kirk hit his fucking wife, and I'll tell you, I assumed going in, because these two on the Indies have been such an amazing heel couple in deathmatch. He just seemed like such a scumbag. And I watched it again today with the commentary. I had no idea what the sound of, he was the baby face.
00:12:36
Speaker
just fucking blew my mind because the whole time I'm like, yeah, hell yeah, get her, get him Casey. But then I saw the story before it, which I guess she, she won the title and somewhere along the way befriended a large masked man and like pushed her husband to the side. It was not El Schlacko. It looked like Justin Kyle in a mask. I don't know that it was, maybe it is. I don't watch a lot of ICW, but
00:13:05
Speaker
It looked like in Chattanooga, Brandon Kirk got him on the ground and held a butcher knife to his throat and was going to slice his throat until Casey Kirk came and said, please don't cut that man's throat. I guess we'll fight this out. But she comes out in the match and essentially a wedding dress. She has like a wedding veil. She's in like a wedding dress version of like wrestling attire.
00:13:30
Speaker
And the whole crowd is booing the shit out of her and cheering her husband, who always looked like a scumbag, but with a haircut, now seems like a pretty nice guy. Well, you know, men can be wrong to you, Garrett. That can be part of it. Tell that to my wife.
00:13:51
Speaker
Now, do we think that they might just be into rough play? So, like, what I'm saying is, like, do you think that they had to just clear out an area backstage because the second this match was over, they were just smashing? Like, there has to be a level of adrenaline that comes from hitting your significant other with glass.
00:14:12
Speaker
and getting hit at the same, it's so mutual, it's just kinda like, yeah, I'm not gonna lie, I'm getting a little turned on right now just thinking about it. You can hear typing in the background, it's him messaging Mrs. Fax to get the tarp out. It's me messaging my lawyer about plausible deniability if something goes wrong. Your lawyer being Chris. Of course.
00:14:42
Speaker
Get it on paper, facts. Get it on paper. I'll get her on the podcast here. This is recording. Zencaster would probably lose it. Zencaster's actually taking all of this down and using it against you. They're going to blackmail you into owning half the fucking company. Zencaster's just working with like my wife starts getting messages of like, hey, would you like to own a piece of Zencaster and all of your husband's assets?
00:15:13
Speaker
She now owns 100% of 50% of Zencaster. One of the coolest things in that match towards the end of it, Casey Kirk starts tearing up the ring. She pulls the mats up, they have the exposed boards and it does end with Brandon Kirk taking her out onto exposed boards, penning her, getting the win, beating his wife for the title and leaving a hero.
00:15:42
Speaker
Like, when I was watching without sound, I was like, oh, boo. With sound, I was like, okay, maybe wrestling isn't as progressive as I thought it was. Like, I mean, or maybe it's extra. I don't fucking know, man. Again, things are cyclical. Maybe it's like, hey, we're so progressive that we're at a place where we're comfortable that a man can beat his wife. And that doesn't have to mean anything other than they love each other.
00:16:11
Speaker
Now, were they chanting anything at her? Because I do think that is a part of the ECW problematicness, right? The man and woman violence is not great. The man and woman violence, while the crowd chants, she's a crack whore, is very, very bad. Yes, not good at all. So I'm curious how the, other than the fact that she's cheating on him, is the crowd projecting anything onto her, do you think?
00:16:38
Speaker
I didn't get that from it but also Casey Kirk is like a pretty lady like it doesn't sound like like so again like I'm not getting why she's the heel if there isn't any of that because it sounds like she basically is the heel because she stopped her husband from murdering someone.
00:16:56
Speaker
Well, I think she left her husband at some point. I think she had a, because the whole video package you're watching is set to a very nice song, but no fucking dialogue. So you're just kind of having to get the silent film version of what the fuck is happening. And I feel like she's looking at him. She's looking at his long hair. He is what I think Derek and I would refer to as a skank, not the same definition.
00:17:25
Speaker
our town had a different definition. And I basically think she was like, you are the putt of my life, not the weak, you're the putt forever, I want you out of here, I'm the champion, you're weighing me down. I'm pretty, 80 years gross. What's that? And she started being with the masked man. And the masked man, and he was gonna cut that guy's head off, and that's David Shumaker. Yes.
00:17:48
Speaker
Um, now how was the visual of, of the wedding dress look by the end of a death match? Cause that seems like that could be pretty thick. Like I'm just imagining what FTR is little white trunks look like at the end of that. And if you have all of the material of, of a, which I realize isn't going to be as much for a wrestling wedding dress as a real wedding dress, but like it's a lot of white to red nup.
00:18:12
Speaker
I mean, it definitely wasn't as red as FTR's little panties, which, but it, I mean, it had a good look to it. It had more of an action movie, like beaten up at the end of a big fight, not like just completely gutted and left for dead. Was he wearing a tux? See, what a pod he wasn't. He was just wearing his regular clothes. She came out fancy.
00:18:40
Speaker
It'd be great. It'd be great if they like, if they got a tux from men's warehouse and then tried to return it like a rental and they were like, Oh guys, I'm sorry. Wedding got a little crazy. Here you go. I'll take that deposit. That's a jackass bed. Like that's how like every tuxedo match back in the day. Like there's this one tux rental company in Memphis that is just so far in the red.
00:19:06
Speaker
They're just like, Jim Cornette keeps going in there and he's like, no, no, no, this time it's real. This time the wedding's actually going to happen. I'm sure. Oh, Jerry Jarrett goes in and they just go, no, no. Oh, dad gone guys. It didn't work out again. And she tore it up. I'm sorry. Well, plus covered in cake and blood as well. Plus how many actual weddings there's been between the Jarrett's and the Lawler's fair.
00:19:37
Speaker
Now, I do want to go back, though, that I actually think like, I don't think there's much problematic here, quite frankly, with the men hitting women, bad, agreed. But in the spirit of the story, like, I love inner gender wrestling, because one of the things is about equality, right? It's like, she, it's a fair match. They can, they can, she can win. She came in the champion. It was for a title.
00:20:01
Speaker
I think that that's a purely progressive story. And the fact that they both agreed, it wasn't like he just waylays her out of nowhere and wraps up like they knew they were in a death match. Like, what's the difference if they were just arm wrestling? Right. Is that just as bad? I think it's it's fine. I what I really don't like. Right. And what really makes me cringe and it still happens is when you have the the non wrestler like the valet or somebody in a non wrestling context that gets hit.
00:20:31
Speaker
And then that's like, well, no, that's just straight up assault. Like that's literally a crime as opposed to it's like, no, I mean, in a wrestling match, good, good for her. She should beat his ass. I mean, she fucking beat Matt Tremont for like she defended it against Tremont and won, which I think Maskman there was some fuckery. And I think that makes her more of a heel for like messing with Tremont because he's right. Right. Yeah. Ultra babyface.
00:20:59
Speaker
But they also, they established her character and that's kind of been one of my problem is a strong word, but sometimes the intergender wrestling on the Indies, when there's not really much of a story behind it and there's not really sort of that, that build sometimes. I don't know. Sometimes the stories don't work that well for me. And then like sort of an individual match, but I do think in the context of her, a being the champion, having this run, and they made a whole big deal right out of her beating.
00:21:23
Speaker
all of these prior champions and stuff. So like building her up in that way for something like this is, that's very different than just doing an intergender match out of nowhere, which I also think has kind of gone down over the last few years. I feel like that was more of a thing four or five years ago where people were just doing a lot of intergender matches. They were like, yeah. And now it's like, oh, like we use intergender matches when it makes sense to do them, you know?
00:21:47
Speaker
Well, or you just do like the GCW model, which is like they don't even call the matches in your gender. It's just like we have one roster. And we have a lot of good wrestlers and we just put the best matches on the card. And yes, often or sometimes the best match on the card is, you know, Ali catch wrestling a guy, you know, and just or a tag match where Ali catches one, one of four people in the match.
00:22:16
Speaker
And it's maybe the only woman, but or or death match war games that Ali catches with the briskos and a bunch of crazy guys. It was briskos, crazy guys. This this I don't know, it was just nice to see such a good story.
00:22:34
Speaker
in a death match. And also just like two characters that have been such good, not necessarily main characters in death match, but like very good heels, like so much fun to boo for so many years. And they broke them up in an interesting way and led to a match that I had never, I'd certainly never seen a husband and wife death match for a championship. I don't know, it was cool. Think about it for your vow renewal. Yeah.
00:23:04
Speaker
We, uh, we, honey, we're renewing our vows and booting. Nick Gage is officiating and you can hit me with light tubes. She'll like that. So we mentioned a couple times, uh, the briskos.
00:23:22
Speaker
And I have been anxiously awaiting your HOG experience. I saw a couple of pictures. I got very little details, but the details I got, they have tickled me. Like I am, please go. And I, by the way, I didn't even have my phone with me. So like I was physically there with Chris and I'm just going to Chris, I'm like, you're telling Garrett's what's happening over text, right? Like you're keeping up with the loop because I don't have the technology to do it right now.
00:23:53
Speaker
So, Fax and I went to the HOG show on Saturday. We met up after Fax's organized play. Sure. He's doing great, by the way. What was he playing? Same game. It was the last, it was the rounding out. What began that weekend in Buton, this was the finale of, because it goes over three months. That's
La Boom Venue Experience
00:24:14
Speaker
why Buton, it's where your story begins, and a story of Queens is where your story ends.
00:24:22
Speaker
And for those who haven't seen my t-shirt yet, just go back on the Instagram and look at the t-shirt I'm wearing in that, while I'm recording. It's the first time Chris is wearing a shirt you can't get on Instagram or pro wrestling to use.
00:24:39
Speaker
I will say though, I will just point out when we initially talked about when you might be done with the, uh, the gaming, you had a time that was significantly earlier, which I just think just goes to show these things just take longer than you think. Like you got to just adjust.
00:24:54
Speaker
you know, people, these are like, people like to take their time with this, right? They're like, like Ric Flair or something, you know, you're telling Greg Balaton. The board game folk aren't people who have places to be after this. So like, facts is the only one that's there that's like, I've got to get to wrestling. Everybody else is like, oh, no, no, this is, this is the plans for the night. And we will- I noticed that I'm handcuffed when I tried to leave. I'm like, what? What's going on?
00:25:23
Speaker
By the way another thought on sponsors We might want to also put a letter to the Bhutan, New Jersey Tourism Board To see if they might be willing to because I feel like we paint a pretty vivid picture there It's beautiful guys go to Bhutan spend your honey if you're looking to spend a honeymoon Doing a honeymoon deathmatch honeymoon deathmatch in Bhutan where you can glass tube your wife and
00:25:51
Speaker
I don't know, we'll work. And lose your virginity. Exactly. Within minutes of one another. There's not that much of a crowd. You could just do it right in the ring. Nobody will notice. Or you go down, they actually have a little private bowling alley downstairs of the... That's the honeymoon suite. That's not the bowling alley, that's the fucking alley. So we hit the...
00:26:20
Speaker
We hit the McDonald's, because again, just friends, if you're taking your child to wrestling, put chicken nuggets in them. That's what is my only real advice, honestly. And Vax willing, because I know Vax eats real food, and we normally eat at nice places. And I'm like, Vax, drive straight to the McDonald's.
00:26:43
Speaker
Well, although I'm glad we did, because I hadn't had McDonald's in a very long time, and they have a chicken sandwich now that's kind of like Chick-fil-A and tastes kind of like Chick-fil-A, so I'm like, if I want to have Chick-fil-A without dealing with the hate, I can just go to McDonald's. And they're just like, you know, transparently evil, right? They're not like evil in any specific way, so that's fine.
00:27:08
Speaker
Fast forwarding, so let me just get to, I'll go to the beginning because I want to get to one joke I had made early and then Chris will probably take the majority of this though. So, you know, we park, we get to the venue, venue very La Boom in Queens.
00:27:24
Speaker
Very aggressive security took like there was like six people in front of us and it took a weirdly long amount of time because they were taking- It was so cold too. It was very cold. Anyway, we get in and now we've been to this venue. Now I hadn't been to La Boom in a couple of years since pre pandemic, but I'd been there several times before then. Chris, our friend Andrew actually caught up online. They had been here for a show just a couple of months ago. And so we kind of know the layout, right? So we find a spot by the layout
00:27:53
Speaker
And, but there's like this area right behind us in the back of the GA that there's normally booths and often it's just part of the GA, right? That just kind of first come first serve. And this time there's like a security guy there who's enforcing like, you have to be VIP to get back here. Like, you know, you try to go back there. What's, you know, you have a VIP ticket.
00:28:15
Speaker
So I find that odd. Now the next thing is immediately noticeable is the VIP is 80% populated by children under the age of nine, right? So it's like a little romper room has been set up. I then like kind of jokingly, but kind of not like knowingly go to Chris and go, I bet that's where they're just keeping all the Brisco children.
Mark Briscoe's Friendly Gesture
00:28:45
Speaker
Now, admittedly, while we were online, Mark Briscoe had come out, he'd come out down the stairs and he's on the phone with someone. He's like, Oh, it's over. Yeah. It's over the club. It's it's, uh, the entrance is over here. And we're like, Oh, what is, what is he picking up? Facts impugnate. I mean, faxing, you know, Hey, well, what else would, you know, wrestlers be picking up right before his show. Mark Briscoe then comes back up the stairs, holding three pizzas.
00:29:12
Speaker
And we make jokes, oh, of course, he's getting pizzas for the locker room. How friendly. But then we also notice. You have to also say, as he's going in, somebody's like, oh, Mark, pizza. And he stops, opens up and says, do you want a slice? Some random, like literally opens up into some random fan online to get into this nightclub in Queens. He was like, yes, I, Mark Briscoe, am willing to give you stranger some pizza.
00:29:38
Speaker
So really nice guy just if that's where the story ended. Mark Briscoe, wonderful human being. But that that's not where the story ends, is it, Chris? No, so we're so we're again, we're up by this VIP area. And we noticed, by the way, the addition to the faxes sort of thought, you know, there are pizzas over there. Well, maybe maybe this could be brisket, the briskos family or whatever.
00:30:02
Speaker
And so Maddie, I sit her up now. There's this weird back corner, the, the, la boom, the sort of sides they're up on like a, like a pedestal. Right. And there's like this like weird, like back bar. That's like clothes. And we're trying to find like a good space to get comfortable. And I sit Maddie up there and she's getting antsy and try to put her down and sort of like find a different spot for her. And it's kind of not working and just not going great. You know what I mean? It's it's, uh, kids that they, they, they, they're, they're picky. And, uh,
00:30:31
Speaker
So she's getting antsy and there's other kids over there and, uh, this woman comes over to me and she says, Hey, um, if you want, you know, she can go back there, maybe like, like play with the other kids if you want. So that that's very nice. And she's like, I just, just, you know, I'm like, I'm not a stranger. I'm like, I'm Mark Briscoe his wife. And I was like, okay.
00:30:55
Speaker
So like, how do you go play with the Brisco kits? So, yeah. So basically we're behind now. Again, there's like sort of like this narrow, like sort of like area, but then there was this like boots, like that when laboom turns into a club are basically like the bottle service area. Right. Where it's just, um,
00:31:15
Speaker
Seven Brisco kids including a baby who was very good. I will point out like a six-month-old who's just like Quietly watching wrestling. It's a baby that knows his way around at indie wrestling show, right? Yeah, right. I'm there to see Loki He's just really into he just likes the kicks, you know, um
00:31:39
Speaker
And, and Maddie. Also David Bixenspan briefly. David Bixenspan was sitting back there for some reason for like 20 minutes charging his phone. He's always charging his phone at wrestling shows. Bix, just get a charger, man. Like just get something to charge your phone.
00:31:54
Speaker
Sit it right in your pocket, charge it in 10 minutes. I don't know, I'm just saying. Don't look like a putt in the corner. Or does he use that as the excuse to get in there? Because all the wrestling wives know who he is. So they'll let him in. Oh, I just need to charge away. Oh, wait, there happens to be pizza back here. That's quite the movie. Bix just wants the pizza. His phone is at like 79% when he goes.
00:32:20
Speaker
He uses an old Blackberry. That thing's battery will last four days. But so, yeah, so we, Maddie, hung out with the Brisco kids. They watched. They played some phone games together. They one of the Brisco kids complimented Maddie on her dress. One of the older girls was very sweet.
00:32:43
Speaker
Maddie was a little shy about it, but, you know, but the Briscoe kids, honestly, all nothing but delightful. All seven of them. Very well. The oldest daughter seemed like she was she was doing that like second in command, helping mom with the littler kids. Yeah, they were they were just great kids, Briscoe or otherwise just really, really great kids. And we were definitely kind of giving Maddie the like, you know, I'm not going to say Chris is pimping out his daughter or anything, but like,
00:33:12
Speaker
There is definitely an element of like go back and play with those children more do it, right? Play harder than you've ever played you You turn this into a play date for daddy Well, they put chicken they're just they're just one but it's funny though because they're just it's that kid play thing though where they like I
00:33:34
Speaker
Like, cause I was like, I'm like keeping an eye on her. I'm trying to like watch a show, but keep an eye on her. Cause sometimes she's watching the show and sometimes she's like going up, but it's the kid play thing where they don't even like say words to each other. They're like, or I don't think that no one exchanged names. They just had like a phone. They're like, they're just like, and I'm, this is
00:33:52
Speaker
terrible radio because I'm making gestures, but they're basically just like, uh-huh. Yeah. Let's just watch this thing. Cool. Yeah. Let's do that. Yeah. Like, but like they never, like they barely talk to each other. It's kind of like they interact. Like if you ever go into like a crowded strip club.
00:34:09
Speaker
and you're going to get a lap dance in the VIP area, but it's a little too crowded. So the stripper can't find a place where you're totally at a eyesight of the other guy. So you kind of see the other guy and you just kind of nod and you're like, yeah, yeah, we're doing this together. Like neither one of us want to not do this. So I guess we're doing it together.
00:34:27
Speaker
Well, I can't just not have a boner right now. All right, moving on. But yeah, no, we just you know, the kids had a good time together. We talked. There was one another woman who was either like a friend or maybe Jay's wife. I don't know. We didn't. Again, we just kind of we were talking about the kids and her playing and she did refer to Mark as Uncle Mark to a child. So I presumably her child.
00:34:59
Speaker
So, could be uncle, like friend, close friend to the family, Uncle Mark, could be actual biological Uncle Mark. We didn't know. And you're talking to Maddie saying, can you get Uncle Fax some of that pizza? Exactly. I'm like, just one piece of that. No, no, the sausage, the sausage.
00:35:19
Speaker
Actually facts, the thing facts are searching for back there. He's like, do they have like, I don't know, like a can of soda or something? Oh yeah. Jesus Christ. So that was the other thing. So I'm driving, right? So like, I'm not, I'm not boozing it up or anything. And I'm just like, by, by the intermission, I'm getting kind of parched. So I'm like, I go over it. You know what? La boom is the putter of the week. The bartender at La Boom is the button. Cause I fight my way to the crowd and I'm like, can I get a diet Coke?
00:35:49
Speaker
And he's like, all we have is Coke. I'm like, do you have diet? Anything? No. All we have is Coke. I go sparkling water. Like he goes, all we have is Coke. I'm like, Oh, the only thing you have is Coke. And he goes, we have water. Great. I will take a water. And he takes walks over really slowly. He's like, water $8 at a fucking nightclub at an indie show. I'm like, no, no, dude.
00:36:16
Speaker
They were also selling food there and tacos were four dollars. So you could have two tacos or a single bottle of water. And that's like a good carnitas taco. Like the tacos look like next time I go, I'm I'm I'm smuggling in some water and I'm spending my money on tacos. Maddie, could you go? Could you do Uncle Fax a favor and go ask Jay Briscoe if he's got a seven up anywhere?
00:36:45
Speaker
A Mountain Dew, anything? So it relates to what we talked about last week, though. So on
Main Event with the Briscoes
00:36:52
Speaker
the way out, so and we'll talk about the match. The match was great. The main event of the show was the Briscoes against the main event, two out of three falls.
00:37:05
Speaker
And talk about the match in a second, but really well, Maddie was very excited for that. And by the way, one of the so not the baby, but the next smallest Briscoe child also really liked the lion. And I remember saying like when we've read there, I was like, does this mean maybe the prisoners aren't losing the titles? Because like they wouldn't bring all their kids here to see them lose. But again, those kids are totally smartened up. None of them batted an eyelash or gave a fuck.
00:37:31
Speaker
Right when their dad is fighting through the crowd and taking these big bumps and they're all just fine with it And then this again the second littlest one Signals to mommy that he wants her to bring him over and she does after the match is over spoiler the main event win the titles and He wanted to see the lion in the ring celebrating. He didn't care the lion just beat daddy He wanted to see that goddamn wrestling lion
00:37:57
Speaker
That makes me really scared for fatherhood. You know, like my kid can turn on me when I get a little older. Like I we end up at the park and a cooler looking dad wants to pick a fight with me. Now I'm getting my ass beat. He's like, that guy is dressed like a clown or whatever. Yeah, you got to be ready for that. It's it's.
00:38:20
Speaker
You don't you don't you don't stay a babyface forever as a dad. Yeah, I got a feeling, though, that that that kid's probably not going to watch the three matches against FDR until he's twenty five. But no, so on the on the way out, you know, we're walking out now. It's just I went over to.
00:38:40
Speaker
Mrs. Briscoe and said, you know, thank you for being so accommodating, really wonderful. And it's such a, such a great time. And I incredibly, I was like, what, what could I sort of like give back to her? I don't have any sort of thing. You know, what, what, what could I offer as a gesture of friendship? And, uh, I thought back to the episode last week and I thought, well, as a bunch of kids, I was like, you know, you're only like a mile from a really wonderful brunch place called comfort land.
00:39:06
Speaker
Great sandwiches, desserts for the kids, donuts, all sorts of things. I really love it. And so I gave my recommendation. Now I couldn't make it over to Comfortland on Sundays. I don't know if they took my recommendation or not, but it's just, it was one of those things where I was like, we sort of imagined this out of a comment last week. And then maybe they actually went and had brunch at Comfortland on Sunday. I don't know, but I do know I told them about it.
00:39:36
Speaker
What the fuck? What else can we materialize from this podcast? I don't know. I don't even know what to say to that. That's bizarre. That's incredibly bizarre that this worked out in the way that it did.
00:40:00
Speaker
I like that it does turn out that the Briscoes have a lot of kids. Uh, did we know that already? Yeah, I think we did, but that's something when you said we initially talked about House of Gory show a while ago, you were like, would the Briscoes be good with kids doing meat? And I was like, yeah, they have a lot of kids. I think they would be. And again, based on this, they'd be great. Delightful. Honestly, just really did this show.
00:40:24
Speaker
change Maddie's view on the Briscoes, where now if the Briscoes pop up, are you able to say, you played with his kids? That's their dad. I've tried a little, but we'll see if I can get that across to her. Yeah, that's their kids. The other thing I wanted to get across to her that's a little more subtle is that her two favorite matches on the last two shows was with Briscoe's Aussie Open and Main Event Briscoes.
00:40:51
Speaker
And she's like, I love, you know, Ozzy opens my favorite main event is number two. And I'm like, sweetie, I don't know how to tell you this. When you like both teams, both times when they're wrestling the Briscoes, you like the Briscoes, too. They're part of a little complicated to understand, I think, for a four year old. But yeah, I don't know. I remember as a kid being like, I kind of hate Mr. Perfect, but I kind of like the cut of his jib, too.
00:41:17
Speaker
It makes me think of I met Bobby Heenan at a Thunder as a kid and he was mean And it like really bummed me out because I liked him so much on the TV But I didn't realize until I was in my 20s like oh he's the fucking heel commentator and he treated me like shit So yeah, he was like in character. He was in character, and I didn't for so long. I was like that guy's an asshole He's like no you got worked sir
00:41:44
Speaker
Yeah, you got worked hard. And dad did too. He didn't know that. It was a good match. I mean, the show on the whole was solid. It could have been a little longer than it need to be. But the story here is actually interesting. So it's a two out of three falls match for the titles. Oh, yeah. This is the main event's third and last shot. And there's the first fall regular rules. The next, anything after the first fall is no DQ.
00:42:11
Speaker
So, uh, they were, they're sort of wrestling, sort of a normal first fall. They do a chain wrestling sequence. Midas covers Mark Brisco, one, two, three. And also that was a quick fall. I'm like a bottle, a body slam or something, like a very basic move, like three minutes into the match.
00:42:28
Speaker
Yeah, and so the main event sort of like, they're excited and they sort of stand up and they're like, hmm, that was weird. And then Justice, they sort of turn around and go, huh, I wonder what Jay Briscoe just throws a chair in the lion's face. Well, he had even done the thing where he like gets up and points to his head of like, I outsmarted you. I am a smart Briscoe. And then yeah, and then they just get waylaid, brawl into the crowd and it just turns into, you know, a wild ass brawl.
00:42:55
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, by the way, it's no DQ now. And we're the Briscoes, right? Well, cause they actually had realized like afterwards, I was like, I hadn't only had those before, but they basically, the main event kind of promo that were like, Oh, like this is mean so much to us. Like we will die for this. And the Briscoes kind of promo. They're like, okay, guess we're going to have to kill you.
00:43:17
Speaker
Again, with delightful people. And it's also like we had a lovely time with their family. I love with it because the problem with the two out of three falls. So one thing is also we know that they need to clear this club out, right? Because it's still a nightclub into the evening. So we're looking at it and we're like, this is not a ton of time for how much we were expecting it to go.
00:43:35
Speaker
And then you also say the two out of three falls, like the inherent flaw. And the reason that there's been so few really good ones is the second fall has absolutely no drama. So how do you bypass that is just make the first fall the no drama fall and get it done quick. So when they first have to sip, I even said, I'm like, I bet the first fall is going to be some kind of stupid DQ thing.
00:43:57
Speaker
Right. And that's why they did it. Nope. A hundred percent was why the stipulation was as bizarre as it was. But in a way that I never would have expected. It was delightful. Yeah. They actually ended up. And it's not clear on if anyone is like watching this and go back to watch on five plus. There's actually a hilarious section. So we're again where we are.
00:44:18
Speaker
We're on sort of one side of the ring and Maddie and I are like behind like a barrier and fax is like sort of like right, right below us. And Jay Briscoe and Midas Brawled literally right in front of us. And Maddie was delighted. She was just like, they're right there. Like Jay Briscoe throws a drink at Midas and I got hit with that drink.
00:44:38
Speaker
And then you started licking your shirt because it was the only beverage that you could get. I seriously, I was like, Mark, or sorry, Jay, I was like, Jay, that was a normal ass water that did that alcohol in it. I'm going to flip the fuck out. I'm going to kidnap one of these Brisco babies. Yeah, it's unfortunate. You can't really see the video. Vax is like right behind Midas trying to catch as much of the beverage in his mouth as he can. He's just sort of like a mouth open.
00:45:05
Speaker
Like it's a hibachi. Like Jay Briscoe is a hibachi chef. It's like the little piece of shrimp that I'm trying to... Yeah. And you do get some of it and you're like, that was Diet Coke. That motherfucker said there was no Diet Coke in this building.
00:45:21
Speaker
But as I think it was, it was fun. Cause Maddie was really, she was pulling for the main event. And, and so the, the, obviously the briskos win the second fall and she's like, Hey, did they lose? And it's like, no, there's, it's a two out of three falls match. And again, it's kind of two out of three falls match kind of confusing for children. But, um, they finally, like they won the match and she was like, did they win? Like, yes, they won. She's like, ah, so.
00:45:44
Speaker
It was exciting. Again, I was trying to get to celebrate too hard, but again, one of the Briscoe children was celebrating just as hard as she was, so I figured it was okay. Another one of my highlights of the show too is that there was a scramble right after the intermission and there was Santa Claus in it, and you'd hear the crowd would silence down and you would just hear Maddie go, let's go Santa Claus. Everyone would just start laughing.
00:46:10
Speaker
Because also we were going to do like the visiting Santa thing the next day and I was like Oh looks like you get to see Santa twice this weekend. She's like That's not that one over. There's not the real Santa Claus, right? That's just a guy in a costume This is one of his helpers like helpers are all over the place
00:46:33
Speaker
real Santa's a wrestler. And then she goes, Mommy, Mommy, Santa's help her bled all over the place. What did she think of Nick Oldis? Was she wowed?
00:46:51
Speaker
I think she was watching a movie with one of the Briscoe kids at that point phone or the iPad or whatever at that point with one of the Briscoe kids. She was just, she just wandered off. She's like, even at that point, Mark Briscoe was behind him watching Bluey on that iPhone. He's like, this sucks.
00:47:06
Speaker
It was fine. All this did the most cheap thing, though. He's like, you know, I'm back on the Indies. I've got this big match with Jacob Fattu. I've wanted to wrestle him so long. And I can't believe I have to do it in Queens, not Manhattan, not Brooklyn, not Long Island. He's just like naming other locations in New York. He's like, name them in the wrong order, too.
00:47:27
Speaker
Which is because he said not first he says Brooklyn. Okay, I guess you could say Brooklyn before Manhattan is certain, but then he said Long Island second, which I guess he gets just from watching AEW. I guess he knows more about New York City from watching AEW than he does from any other cultural milestone because he says Long Island before Manhattan.
00:47:51
Speaker
Well, let's face it, this was his first time in New York City. NWA doesn't make it there that often. They're too busy working in bum fuck Tennessee.
00:48:01
Speaker
It's very familiar with all the Tennessee towns. What do you think about Aldis? He wrestled for so long for Impact, who barely ever ran. Maybe he just hasn't been to New York very much. He looked at a map earlier. He was like, hmm, there's other places. I can insult the specific place that I'm in to get Hill Heats. Don't worry, Magnus. You sign up with Rob Thomas. He'll get you to the big show of the Melrose Ballroom in Queens.
00:48:30
Speaker
I will come in my pants if I can watch that man wrestle Schlack for the naughty promotion. Was there anything noteworthy on there? Like how was the, shit, was it Loki versus Kenta? Loki, Kenta was good. When I was- It was fine, let's be fair. Even before the finish, it wasn't like great.
00:48:59
Speaker
It was kind of slow. I was fast forwarding today earlier actually to watch the re-watch the tag match before we did this. And I realized Loki and Kento went 23 minutes. Like, yeah, they got through like three episodes of Bluey behind me during that match. And they also, after a 23 minute match, some other character ran out and like pushed Loki and Loki ran after him for a countout that was later labeled as a no contest.
00:49:26
Speaker
I was like, HOG, not afraid to give you the shittiest possible finish to a match they're selling you. They're like, look, they got to wrestle for 20 minutes. You're good with that? And it's like, not really, guys, come on. I will put out a recommendation. Masa Shlamovich wrestled ultraviolet for the women's title. And that was a really, really good match. That was a- Yeah, that one was amazing. That was one of the better women's matches you'll see it in indie, you know?
00:49:54
Speaker
She's great. That is, I didn't, I think I found out a while ago that I guess that's Akira's significant other. The motherfucking death samurai, not the fancier one. Thank you. What happened to his eye, by the way? Is he, is that like a gimmick thing or is he, did he like screw up his eye at some point? Did I miss something? I don't, I haven't seen him in a minute, I guess. Oh, I feel like the last time I saw Akira, he was wearing like an eye patch.
00:50:20
Speaker
Oh, I didn't see, um, yeah. What's fucked up as I saw the eye patch and didn't question it. Like, I think, I think my thought was like, yeah, you wrestle around glass. Like you probably got some shit in your eye and not, I mean, it couldn't have been like Moxley storyline, right? I'm going to, I saw Google it now, but, um, well, even, yeah. So.
00:50:44
Speaker
Not to get too far off of this, but last night when I had been drinking with the house guests and I was trying, we'd also put of the week is trying to watch IWTV on a fire stick. The
Technical Frustration with IWTV
00:50:57
Speaker
only way it would allow me to fast forward is it would let me rapid push the button 40 times in a row and then stop, and then you'd have to press play, do it again, and you could only basically go forward maybe 20 seconds in that amount of time. Fight plus, fight plus, guys.
00:51:15
Speaker
But I sent you guys a text. I was watching SHP. I'm not familiar with this promotion. But I did see that there was a dog collar match between Atticus Kogar and Jimmy Lloyd. And I said I would send you all $100 each if Jimmy Lloyd walked away from this the winner. And I don't know if I owe you money or not.
00:51:39
Speaker
So and to find out and to find out if you do, we would all have to either watch the show for two and a half hours and or desperately attempt to fast forward because it would be unfair if we just googled the results. That would be wrong, but.
00:51:53
Speaker
Well, I did watch it today. And facts, I actually took your lead on this one. I made myself a nice bath and I had myself a little deathmatch bath. Yeah, I've got a little tray that I can put across the tub, set the laptop in it. I had some candles going and I sat in a bathtub and watched Atticus Kogar and Jimmy Lloyd have a dog collar match. And what, you just fell asleep or? Oh, this was an exciting match, facts.
00:52:23
Speaker
Uh, at one point Atticus, well, I mean, he, I just said, you don't, you don't know the finish was right. Or, Oh, well, I'll tell you what the finish was. And you tell me if I owe you money. Oh, okay. I thought you literally like didn't get to the finish. No, no, I did see it, but if it were up to a fire stick, I would have never seen it.
00:52:46
Speaker
But at one point Atticus has the skewers and he puts Jimmy Lloyd in kind of a stretcher and is stabbing his armpit and sides with those skewers and then pounds them into his shoulder. So the skewers are coming out of his body there, but eventually
00:53:05
Speaker
He sneaks out under, and Jimmy Lloyd is tugging on the chain to try and pull Atticus back in. Atticus comes from behind him, he has removed the dog collar, and chained Jimmy Lloyd to the ring post.
00:53:20
Speaker
And he immediately walks in, kicks the referee in the penis, skewers the referee, and then all of Atticus Kogar's buddies come in and just beat the piss out of Jimmy Lloyd. So it was a no contest. That sounds like a Kogar win to me. I mean, although it would have been a better thing if he had, you know, taken the little stabby stick and gone after that ref's penis hole.
00:53:44
Speaker
Oh he did a gross one with Jimmy though he got him on the ground put the thing of skewers on the inside of his cheek and then stomped on the skewers like did a curb stomp on top of them into the inside of his cheek well let's just
00:54:01
Speaker
I mean, let's still, cause it's definitely, you know, Jimmy Lloyd, I don't know that you can say that the wind, but you can't say you got the law. So why don't we just say this? You just need to buy a controlling steak and Zen caster and then call, call the rest even. Honestly, that might be cheaper than giving you all $300.
00:54:24
Speaker
It's interesting. I was watching some GCW today and, um, there was like a Jimmy Lloyd match against, I think it was like Blake Christian from earlier this year. And the announcers are like, you don't know the pain that Jimmy Lloyd feels because he's like, people know him as a Dutch math threshold, but he like has all this talent and the pain of being misunderstood. And like, do you think that pain is worse than getting a bunch of skewers stabbed in your cheek? I feel like not. I feel like the emotional pain is not nearly as bad as the physical pain of the skewers.
00:54:54
Speaker
I mean, was that spring break three where he got the scissors kicked into his throat? Like that was, that was nasty. That was awful. That's worse. That's worse than whatever he's got going on up here. He can take care of this with better help. Also maybe give us a sponsor better help. You can get 10% off your first therapy session using code penis hole. Uh, that should be our promo code for everything. Um,
00:55:22
Speaker
Yeah, so I mentioned I haven't been watching a lot of wrestling. The one thing I went out of my way to watch, though, is the the last two rampages have opened with a Moxley match. And I got to say both of them were really interesting. I also in interesting news, I it wasn't for myself. It was for one of my nephews as part of Christmas. I cleared it with him. So for him, for his Christmas present, I did preorder the AEW game for him, the AEW for Xbox.
00:55:47
Speaker
And it does make me also say after watching these games, especially like I hope like the often rumored thing from the old Nintendo 64 games is true in this one, where there is like an actual stat for how easy it is to make a guy bleed in the game. And just the mocks character is just constantly bleeding. Like, you know, that would be great because
Jon Moxley's Wrestling Status
00:56:08
Speaker
he does bleed in both of those matches. Sammy Guevara and Takeshka Takesh. I can never say his name, right?
00:56:17
Speaker
Uh, but did you guys did you guys watch those matches in particularly the Kudosky to cash to match? Yeah, both of them. So Garrett, um, John Moxley is, I mean, despite the fun, I mean, he's pretty much a God, right? In wrestling, like he's pretty much an unimpeachable beloved wrestling icon at this point, right? You would say, particularly at an AEW show.
00:56:44
Speaker
Yeah, the fans were booing him at the end of the match with Takeshita just because the match was that good and they wanted Takeshita to win. I swear to God, they were booing Moxley. Admittedly, he has recently been punching Hangman Page a lot.
00:57:06
Speaker
Yeah, but this was more of a we're cheering to cash to not really. We're like, I think this is a good thing for wrestling and all that. I'm just saying. And part of those booze were actually coming from Renee. She's like, boo, we still haven't gone on vacation. Well, that was the only thing I was thinking is like all these rumors. OK, now that he dropped the belt, he's going to he's meanwhile, he's like, hey, you know, GK, I can work dark. I can. What about that guy from private party has wrestled a while. I can do a to a lights out match with him.
00:57:37
Speaker
Now, Renee has to work, right? You just hired her to do a job. She's got to work. So what am I going to do? I'm going to take vacation. Just tell her days off aren't approved.
00:57:55
Speaker
Yeah, no, it was good. I mean, I couldn't I couldn't see in the rampage match. Mox's ear bleeds a ton. The one the one with Guevara. Yeah. What set that like he pulled in like because Renee said like his ear was hanging off or something, but I couldn't tell like what started it. And by the way, your ring, did it get pulled out?
00:58:14
Speaker
pulled all the way out, I don't think, but it must have been something with that. And by the way, in the Tekestrian match, he does a pretty normal blade, and if you, like, I have cable, so I can watch the picture in picture, but he blades and takes his bump in the middle of the commercial break. But I'm also wondering, since it's not live, like, is that like TNT where they're like, come on, can we?
00:58:37
Speaker
But he, I mean, again, he's bleeding all over the place when they come back from commercial break. And I remember like, cause I often fast forward through the commercials just anyway. Cause I don't want that picture. Cause I noticed I'm watching the fucking commercial. I'm not watching the match. I'm like, Oh, you got me. You got me, you motherfuckers. And I, I go through and I just come back and I'm like, wait, Mox is pleading like a pig. I've rewind it before. And I'm like, Nope, he's definitely not pleading before. Yep. Blades during the commercial.
00:59:03
Speaker
Those picture in pictures, you really do hit a point where you're like, I can either watch the tiny rest holds in the corner or this Domino's commercial. And it somehow always ends up being the pizza that gets my attention. Yeah. Hey, listen TK. I blade during the pizza commercial. I don't give a shit.
00:59:26
Speaker
Did you- Can I curse during the piece of commercial, too? Yeah. No one will hear it, I guess, except the people in the other countries. That's actually what it is, because backstage, when they're showing it, Renee's back there on a monitor, and there they don't have the picture-to-picture. It just goes to the Domino's commercial, and so she doesn't come out, and then the Domino's commercial ends, and she sees him bleeding. She's like, oh, god damn it, John.
00:59:51
Speaker
I also imagine she's when like he comes back, she's like in Gorilla and she's like, Jonathan Moxley, good. You go back to your trailer and think about what you've done. You know what you've done. But first, but first go get stitched up. Yeah. Go get stitched up first. I know what I said, John, but you're having broccoli for dinner tonight. No chicken McNuggets for boys that played. We've talked about this.
01:00:26
Speaker
Did either of you see, I guess Omega's been wrestling dark and he's been wrestling like some Japanese guys?
01:00:33
Speaker
No. Like, I guess like that's Kenny Omega has been like, I want to wrestle dark now and like wrestle some guys that like some newer guys that, you know, to help them out. I mean, do we know that's if that's aired yet or is that something just taped? Because I know they were doing Orlando dark tapings recently. OK, maybe that I thought it maybe it had taped, but not aired yet. OK.
01:00:53
Speaker
I had not seen. I just saw that. I can tell you that thing where today, seven hours ago, as of when we're recording this, I see the last post in all the wrestling's YouTube 11 matches. Kenny Omega is the first name listed. Oh, there you go. OK, so maybe we just can you make an action and ready are part of an 11 to match a dark lineup today.
01:01:19
Speaker
Yeah. And so it must be, this is Kenny's first dark match since January of 2020. So basically we got a pandemic cause Kenny stopped wrestling on dark. And yeah, he's going in someone I don't hug on yet. Shin you he's from DDT. Well, there you go.
01:01:43
Speaker
That's fun. I like that that's happening. Like it get in Kenny Omega. Like if he's actually having like a fun Kenny Omega match that he's doing this out of his own enjoyment, I'm into that. I don't know if I'm into like three hours of watching dark, but. Yeah, there's a lot of other match. Oh, and Jeff Jarrett and Satinum Singer wrestling together in a tag match also in dark.
01:02:08
Speaker
I did open up the video Kenny's matches first. And I obviously don't have the sound on because I'm listening to you guys, but people seem very excited to see him. Like, can you imagine like watching a bunch of like AW dark matches and then Kenny Omega comes out. I'm going to give you the whole lineup here and I'm going to ask if you'd be willing to sit through this entire show.
01:02:29
Speaker
and ruin your vacation to Universal Studios. Yeah, exactly. Where you could be riding rides, but instead you're sitting there watching, I can't even think of like the lamest person I could on that roster. You would never even, because you only know the left side of the screen names. You've never heard of the other ones, right? That's true. So it's like, would you rather ride Jaws or see the wingman squash some jobbers that are even jobbery than they are?
01:02:57
Speaker
The wingmen are the non-jobbers in this scenario. If you promise me Kenny Omega at the end, I will take the wrestling. Overrides.
01:03:09
Speaker
Yeah, I'm also, I mean, I enjoy rides. I like them, but Kenny Omega, again, not many of the, not many other people would get me to skip the rides, but you tell me Omega is going to wrestle someone who can go with him. I'm there. Listen, there's, you're going to get a Kenny Omega six man match on Wednesday.
01:03:35
Speaker
When are you going to get back to seeing Transformers of the Ride? That thing is excellent. I know we've talked about it on here, but when I first moved to LA, I worked the opening. I was a fucking army man on Transformers of the Ride.
01:03:54
Speaker
I was sad. I was really, really sad working on that ride. You're a sad boy. I will say this dark lineup is really, I mean, here's who you get to see other than Kenny Omega in this hour. Action Andretti. Marina Shafir.
01:04:13
Speaker
Uh, Parker Boudreaux from the trust busters and Helico and the chaos project against drivers, Julia Hart, Jeff Jarrett and Satnam sing the wing men, which is in this case, Peter Avalon and Ryan Nemeth, Kip Sabian.
01:04:29
Speaker
Jade Cargill, and the other main event is Ricky Starks, wrestles Cesar Bononi.
Ricky Starks' AEW Transition
01:04:37
Speaker
So Ricky Starks, by the way, just to keep, if you're keeping score, in a week went from main eventing dynamite in a world title match the week after winning a battle royal, which was two weeks after winning the eliminator tournament, to fighting Cesar Bononi outside the jaws.
01:04:59
Speaker
Yeah. Hey, that ride's fucking awesome, man. Like I don't, I don't, you know. I'm on team rides in this argument. I would feel honored to open for the Jaws ride. You know, like I, to be like one below the card and the Jaws ride. Yeah, that's, that's good shit. What if, so I'm curious now. So, okay. AEW dark is, is taping. You could go see Jaws or.
01:05:30
Speaker
I tell you that you get to see Jon Moxley wrestle and Renee is going to be so mad about what he does in the match.
01:05:38
Speaker
They're taking their kid. But that's it. Because like when you go to Universal, it's like Moxley goes to Universal. He's like a family vacation. And he's just like, Renee is like, oh, I want to do the Simpsons ride. And he's like, oh, god damn, I forgot to get a fast pass. Let me just get on the normal line. And you know, if you don't have the fast pass, the line for the Simpsons ride is going to be about an hour and a half. So he could easily shoot down to the studio, record a quick match against, you know,
01:06:07
Speaker
Uh, Kip Sabian or whoever and nifty. He goes 20. Of course it goes 20. He goes 20. A lot of near falls. A lot of blood. A lot of tears. He comes back with a soft pretzel forgot to get the fast. But just no shirt. He's just wearing no shirt and just the sweat and just the blood. He's just eating the pretzel with his mouth. A gape.
01:06:39
Speaker
He really should call Mark Briscoe for some parenting advice. That's I guess that's what we're saying. But I wonder if there's the thing where it's like I think part of this might be like pushing buttons or is like Renee is just like like, you know, I know it's personal stuff, but you go back like a year and Renee is like, listen, we have a kid now. Just you got to stop drinking, John. You can do anything else you want. He's like anything. And then this is like every time she's like, John, did you have to do that? He's like,
01:07:11
Speaker
You said anything, right? I mean, I could go for a drink instead. I mean, which do you want it to be? You can put a quart of whiskey in or lose a quart of liquid right now. It's one or the other. We're going to see him on Fight Plus, where there's going to be a thing where his contract with TK is like, you can't appear in any other wrestling show, but it has nothing about bare-knuckle fighting.
01:07:35
Speaker
He's gonna show up there on fight TV, the women's rugby. We're just gonna start seeing Moxley and all of these violent things on fight. He's actually, it's actually that Mox has been thinking about that angle, that Kirk angle. And he's just, he's trying to see if he can finally get Renee mad enough to hit him with a light tube.
01:07:55
Speaker
He's like, that's the money match is me against Renee, but she won't do it. She just refuses to hit me with light tubes. But I think, I think if I blade every week over and over and over again, and I make her cut, she works here now. She has to watch every week. She has to be there live and watch me get stitched up each time. I think finally she will succumb and hit me with a light tube.
01:08:20
Speaker
Which is every time they get to the hotel room of like whatever town they're doing dynamite in, she just gets there, like he meals in the luggage, he goes to the bathroom, she opens up and she sees the wedding dress in there and she's like, God damn it. Every fucking time he throws away my actual luggage and just packs the wedding dress.
01:08:41
Speaker
It's, it's main eventing. It's going to main event spring break. If it's not 2023, it will be 2024. He will, he will get, I still stand by at some point. There will be in Jacksonville. They're going to do a show in the football stadium. It's going to be called stadium stampede. That's what you main event it with.
01:09:02
Speaker
Is it going to be a lights out match? I mean, if TNT won't let the briskos on TV, I don't know if they're going to let John Moxley beat his wife for 15 minutes in the main event. But bleach your report, Will. That's why you have them not having this HBO max deal yet. She's winning this. OK, first of all, she's definitely she's definitely going over. And what do you think about it, Garrett?
01:09:27
Speaker
Isn't any marital argument like this, isn't it really? Aren't they all lights out matches? You know? That sounds like the wisdom you can get from better help. Better help. Seek therapy. Online. Use offer code penishole to save 10% off your first visit. Or visit Bhutan, New Jersey.

Spin drift really satisfies get 50% off your first eight pack with penis hole. I did just, and when you're done with that, they just came. That's what.

01:11:39
Speaker
The thing is, Sincaster isn't like, it's funny that we're like shitting on them because they're offering a free service that works relatively well. They just didn't get the emails to you in a timely manner, but I was able to copy and paste a link to send to you that worked perfect. And, and I will note, um, you two could be an owner of Sincaster, but the thing that I want to most promote here
01:12:05
Speaker
is that if you're ever in Queens, New York, particularly Astoria, go to Comfortland. They've got great sandwiches, a fantastic brunch, delightful beverages. Come hang out with me and the Briscoes. We'll be there having brunch every Sunday. Or come to Game Astoria.
01:12:31
Speaker
We got we got the new hero clicks Batman team up campaign starting in January. You know, that'll be running for probably a solid month. It's not a three month affair. It's probably more like a one month affair, but
01:12:48
Speaker
You know, we'll be doing it at least once. Please tell neither of the people at those places that you want to use the code penis hole, because that's not actually go to those places. And we really we don't want to be embarrassed. So but you do now know where facts is going to be. So if you'd like a meet and greet.
01:13:07
Speaker
with facts, that's where he'll be. And say whatever you want to him. Don't heckle him while he plays the games. Like, be respectful. Well, no, no, no. Unless you have to actually register for the event. And then if you're across the table from me, anything goes. Right. OK. It would be illegal. You get kicked out of the store to try to heckle a customer. But if you're if you engage in the actual play, you know, your comments are then organized.
01:13:38
Speaker
Now, if you, uh, say penis hole two facts while he's playing a game, he will take you to comfort land for chicken sandwich afterwards. If you say Dick hole, he'll take you to the McDonald's for that chicken sandwich. It's a, that's right. You know, it's about getting it right guys. I mean, and honestly, it's just matter of preference. Some people like McDonald's better. Uh, so next week will be our last episode of the of 2022. It will.
01:14:06
Speaker
Do we have anything, do we have a special plan for that? Should we make some sort of top 10 list? People have lists.
01:14:14
Speaker
Uh, I have been thinking, I want to try to sit down and maybe rewatch one or two things, but also just generally it's been a weird year in wrestling, kind of a delightful year, but a weird year. And I, I do try to want to recap it. If only for myself to try to, as I get older, my memory gets worse. So to try to remember what exactly was good this year. Um, and maybe try to rank it if it's possible.
01:14:38
Speaker
Well, how about this? How about because I don't top whatever because, you know, nobody can watch everything. And who gives a shit? Right. People with more cred about actually talking about the best matches. Read that shit. Right. What I think we should do is say, let's come up with our top 10 matches that we feel to find the wrestling year for us. Yeah. No, I think I think that's good. I think that's good. I think there was.
01:15:08
Speaker
I think even just going back and listening, there's a few matches that have defined this podcast. Sure. And I think one of those matches is Beastman versus, uh, what's funny is the other guy's fucking famous and I can't make a name, Mike Bennett, which also Beastman, official business owner of VCW.
Beastman's New Business Venture
01:15:33
Speaker
Is he now?
01:15:35
Speaker
He posted it on Instagram. He showed the certificate that shows that it is Virginia Championship Wrestling is an official business owned by Beastman. Did he purchased it recently or? I think he got it registered as a business. Oh, so he's been running it and it is Beastman's. Yeah, I'm going to pull that up real quick because I was proud of him. You know, he's our boy. I hope this doesn't mean he's not still going to wrestle in the BW3 parking lot.
Sawyer Wreck's Final Death Match
01:16:03
Speaker
He might have an exclusive now, other than he is popping up in Atlantic City on New Year's Day. Which also, before next week too, Sawyer Wreck, Matt Tremont, his final no rope barbed wire death match plus 200 light tubes the day after Christmas. Tune into that shit, that will be fun.
01:16:29
Speaker
I don't know. Yeah. Next
Year-End Reflections
01:16:30
Speaker
week. We got lists. We got lists. We got jokes. We're going to say penis hole again. Whole lot. Whole lot. That's been a fun year. This was, you know what? I didn't let those all of those, uh, those coconut cashews ruin this for me. I had a good time with you boys. Excellent. I didn't let Zencast ruin it for me either. Although they're still the pun of the week.
01:16:50
Speaker
I had a great time, well, with facts both times, and a really great time with you, Garrett, although admittedly kind of a better time with the Briscoe family. Very, very reasonable. You're like, I actually got so distracted I accidentally left Maddie at LeBoom. I took a Briscoe home with me. I traded.
Seasonal Decorations at LeBoom
01:17:10
Speaker
she's uh yeah she really loved she really loved the club um there were there were christmas decorations up so as if she really didn't mind all the reggae and i do love that there was that we talked about the christmas decor the hazard halloween decorations last time and on the way there i said hey chris do you think like i bet they do like company christmas parties do you think that laboom will have christmas ornaments up and they sure did so once again
01:17:33
Speaker
The House of Glory doesn't do any of this. That's just the nightclub. But they make it seem like they're running these seasonal shows. So they're running their next show is actually going to be Brooklyn. So not there. So we'll see if it's in February. Maybe it'll be a President's Day theme or something. Valentine's Day. We'll we'll we'll see late belated. What do you say?
01:17:55
Speaker
Next LeBoom show, you get Maddie on the podcast to give her review of the show, straight from her mouth. I'm assuming she will be too nervous to talk to me, so maybe you just record that on your own and we can hear her thoughts exactly. I do think one of her highlights was playing touch ghosty with me. I don't know, she seemed to make up a game where she was a ghost that like touching my head.
01:18:23
Speaker
Well, she was standing over and behind facts. So she was sort of poking facts in the head and seeing if he would turn around. Yeah. And he usually did.
01:18:33
Speaker
Yeah, and she wasn't hiding or anything. She was like, oh yeah, it was me, but I'm like... She's a ghost. You don't have to hide, you just... Yeah, you're just translucent. All right, everybody.
