try one of Lululemon's ABC pants. They're made to

to choose from. My favorite because I

0:13

walk around LA every day. I like the joggers.

0:15

I'm not jogging. I'm just walking fast. But if

0:17

you're working out, I would try them out. And

0:19

if you want something a little sleek,

0:22

maybe business-like, maybe try that ABC slim

0:24

fit trouser, but I am a joggers

0:26

guy. I just, once COVID happened,

0:28

I was just like, I'm, I want to wear

0:30

jogging pants and joggers and all kinds of soft

0:32

pants, as much as I possibly can, especially

0:35

While. We'll see who is a.

5:20

Ah, I got it from

5:25

I'm saying and now and out of

5:30

he will be there. Which. I was

5:32

not able to announce last week though I was. I.

5:34

Tried into a that would be a big one. but

5:37

yes. Now. The great one will

5:39

be there. Ah, At. At.

5:42

Brawl which is where we could start the

5:44

show because there are some disagreement. Or

5:47

both it our tax and in

5:49

the. Discord I saw.

5:52

Your. Dipper seen came came in

5:54

ha. Raving. on

5:56

friday night about how much he loved

5:58

the rock And it was funny

6:00

because... No, no, no, SGG, wasn't there

6:03

a rave that we woke up to on Saturday

6:05

morning? Yeah, there was a rave. There was an

6:07

absolute rave. And SGG and

6:09

I were probably the coolest we'd been

6:11

on The Rock since

6:13

his return. And you seemed

6:15

the highest you'd been. So

6:17

I'm curious how we landed

6:20

there because... Yeah,

6:22

I didn't love Friday and I'll tell

6:25

you why. A,

6:31

some of these just get to be a little

6:33

bit self-indulgent. Like we just start repeating things and

6:35

it feels like we're just kind of out there.

6:37

Like we're just kind of... Just

6:40

do what we're gonna do. The song was great. The

6:42

song was nostalgic. It took you back.

6:44

I mean, rock singing was never my

6:46

favorite rock. But I respect

6:48

it for what it is and people enjoy

6:51

it and it was that. But

6:55

then where he re- What I really

6:57

didn't like it, and maybe I've realized

6:59

over time it's working because he is

7:02

a heel and I find it so

7:04

annoying, was him referencing

7:06

the final boss thing. But

7:09

they're going with this. They've declared

7:12

that the final boss is now

7:14

his thing. Heyman said it last

7:16

night too. And

7:20

if they referenced it once or twice, I wouldn't hate

7:22

it because it does make sense that he is the

7:24

final boss. And I say final boss,

7:26

like I use that phrase in life too.

7:28

And I think it's like a good reference

7:30

point to how to describe somebody. However, I

7:33

don't think that it needed to become a

7:35

thing. I don't

7:37

think it needed to become a thing. Like

7:39

we love wrestling. Wrestling is great. I don't

7:42

think it's on that level. And it is

7:44

clear now that like we

7:46

will get to mania

7:48

and in the tag match Michael

7:51

Cole will be saying the final

7:53

boss, the rock. That

7:55

is the path that we are clearly on. And that's

7:58

part of what's taking me out of it. it

8:00

too is that all his new things, I'm

8:03

not really feeling them. I

8:06

wasn't feeling the Cody cry baby. I'm

8:09

not really feeling the final boss. I

8:12

like the nostalgic things, but

8:15

the new things I'm not

8:17

really here for. This

8:20

is, I've come to this place after,

8:23

you know me, I'm Mr. Let It Play Out. I'm

8:25

Mr. Let's See What's Going Happened. Mr.

8:28

Greg Let It Play Out hide. Yeah.

8:30

And there's still some time for it to play

8:33

out. But if I have to say how I

8:35

feel in this moment about

8:37

The Rock and his

8:39

return so far, I'm not

8:42

really feeling it like that.

8:44

Because really, you're overall not

8:46

feeling it. Overall not

8:48

feeling it. Like I love the nostalgic things,

8:50

but like you said, it's very self-indulgent. And

8:55

there was a moment when The Bloodline,

8:57

when Rock and Roman were in the ring with Cody

8:59

and Seth, I

9:01

feel like The Rock spent so much

9:03

time on the mic, not

9:06

furthering the story and not

9:08

furthering the angle. And

9:10

then he got slapped and then it went right

9:12

off the air like milliseconds after he got slapped.

9:15

It's like, come on, security was around the

9:17

ring. I'm a life-long wrestling fan. When I

9:19

see security, I expect to

9:21

pull apart brawl. But we spent

9:24

so much time with The Rock talking

9:28

and not getting out his points that we

9:30

didn't get to pull apart brawl. And then

9:33

SmackDown comes around in Memphis

9:35

and he does The Rock concert, which

9:38

is about 10 minutes, enjoyed

9:40

it. And then we get another

9:42

10 minutes of him with a weight belt threatening

9:45

to beat people that still doesn't really

9:47

further the story. And

9:49

then don't leave out one thing to add to that, SGG. And

9:52

I don't think that necessarily think I feel as strongly

9:55

as you do, but I will contribute to your

9:57

thoughts here. Don't leave out

9:59

the fact. you want to point out the self-indulgent

10:01

part, he

10:03

also couldn't stay

10:05

all the way heel on Friday.

10:08

He still wanted to get cheered as

10:10

a babyface in Memphis. That was the

10:12

thing I didn't like. And he does

10:14

the goosebumps every time. To me,

10:16

I don't mind the goosebumps because he changed it to this.

10:19

He updated it to make it a little more heelish

10:22

and sort of demonstrative. I don't hate that. But

10:24

to me, it feels like he's

10:26

doing what he was going to do anyway if we were

10:28

going to get Rock and Roman, but

10:30

it's just like he's substituting in Cody. And

10:33

maybe that's why that's a good point. That's

10:35

your best point. Here's where I

10:38

feel like it's lost me a little bit. Okay. It

10:41

went from rock

10:43

sort of veering into am I

10:46

feuding like foreshadowing a feud with

10:48

Roman as a result of this whole

10:50

thing to it becoming now

10:52

more all about Cody. Yeah.

10:55

And it's less interesting. He'll

10:58

rock versus babyface Cody than it

11:01

is like is rock

11:03

heel and will eventually he turn on

11:05

Roman and will that he, you know,

11:07

will he continue to acknowledge Roman that

11:09

is more interesting television than him just

11:11

making fun of Cody Rhodes. And that's

11:13

where it's starting to veer off a

11:15

little bit for me. Well,

11:18

also, there's a problematic piece here, which is

11:20

that he doesn't have

11:22

a one on one match with Cody.

11:25

The rock does. Right. You don't want him

11:27

to a one on one match too. Don't

11:30

forget. Right. That is true too.

11:32

Now all of this, I would argue, and I don't

11:34

know where SGG lands on this because like he's a,

11:36

as you just heard, he's a little more critical. I

11:39

still am very excited week to

11:42

week to see everything play out.

11:45

I think this is still a fantastic

11:47

build overall. Yeah. But now he's

11:49

been here's the thing though. Here's the

11:51

thing. Love that you're back. Love

11:54

that you're around week to week, but

11:56

now that you're here week to week, we're

11:59

going to get to dissect. expecting you like we do everybody

12:01

else. Exactly. Now it's time to

12:03

take these critiques and not just get,

12:05

and that's the scary part about coming

12:07

back because when you just show

12:09

up every couple of years for one segment and

12:12

you toss people out of the ring, hit a

12:14

people's elbow and keep it moving, everyone goes, yay,

12:16

Rock came back. Yeah. And he played

12:18

the hits and we love that for

12:20

what it is, but now you can't get

12:23

much of an extended play of the hits. Now we're

12:25

here. And in all fairness, I'm not going to lie

12:27

to you. I was bored of just getting the hits.

12:29

I'm like, all right, I'm sick of every three years

12:31

we get the hits. I want more. Now

12:34

we got more. Great. Now you got

12:36

to be able to sustain week to week and

12:38

see where this thing goes. And

12:41

I do think, I think he's still

12:44

like, I just want to be clear. I think

12:46

he's being great at being a

12:49

bad guy. Like I find him in

12:52

some ways, all the self-indulgent things we're

12:54

playing on play perfectly with what he's

12:56

doing. Like he's the boss. He can

12:58

set the terms of what he does.

13:00

He's a big Hollywood star. He shows

13:02

up. He does what he wants. Like

13:04

that does play into it. But

13:07

then like last week

13:09

he disses John Morant and

13:12

then it hits you with like, ah, but I love you.

13:15

Like, no, no, bro. Hate John

13:17

Morant. You're in Memphis.

13:19

Call him a key along Memphis. There's been

13:22

so many times that I've seen heels go

13:24

into their hometown and still crap

13:26

on their hometown. I thought he would say, and

13:29

by the way, hometown of Jay's, I

13:32

would, I would have loved to hear him say, I spent a

13:34

lot of time here, you know, and thank

13:36

God I never have to come

13:38

back. Right. You

13:40

know? So I would have loved to see

13:43

rock run down everything

13:46

he could have about Memphis rather than

13:48

sort of play the, but I still

13:50

do want to get some cheers. Oh,

13:52

I do have some lotion coming out this weekend. You

13:55

know, that there is still a little bit of, of

13:58

that. And I just wish we. could let go

14:00

of all of it so we could enjoy

14:02

this fully and be in the moment. Yeah.

14:05

And two things you said too, that I

14:07

want to jump on and piggyback off of.

14:10

One, yes, Rock,

14:12

we still love you. We're still fans.

14:15

But when the mics are on, you got to get these critiques.

14:17

If we see you at Mania, we're going to smile, take a

14:20

picture, tell you how much we love you, you're going to get

14:22

the goosebumps, you're going to get all that, but when

14:24

the mics are on, we got to critique you because it's a time to be

14:26

a fan and it's a time to be a professional.

14:29

And the second thing you touched on is he

14:31

did release some skincare products,

14:34

some beauty products

14:36

at a very timely time because there has

14:38

been an epidemic of smelly

14:40

wrestling fans at these shows. And if Rock, if

14:42

you got, you got nice days, if you want

14:44

to send us some Papatouille, we'll try it out.

14:47

We'll let the peckerheads know that they can,

14:49

where they can get it and what the products are

14:51

that they can. So wait, you just critique the man

14:53

and then tried to get the free. Yeah.

14:55

Yeah. Listen, what did I say? There's a time

14:57

to be a critic and there's a time to

14:59

be a fan and then there's a time to

15:01

be a beggar for some free, free goods. And

15:03

then I just tried to line up all three,

15:06

get us some of that Papatouille. I give credit

15:08

where credit is due. You managed to do all

15:10

of it, SGG. Bless

15:12

you. Um, but

15:14

it's, uh, so there's a lot to break

15:16

down with regard to the Rock and Cody

15:18

and there's, there was one more,

15:20

Oh yes. The other debate that was

15:22

happening in our, in our chat yesterday

15:24

was over Cody. Because,

15:27

uh, the great Zach Linder

15:29

who used to work for.com, if you're unaware, did

15:32

not like Cody yesterday. And

15:35

I thought Cody was fantastic. I

15:39

thought, I thought, Oh, so dip, you want to, what, what

15:41

didn't you like about Cody yesterday? I

15:45

don't like when he said

15:47

Hawks like this, which

15:50

is like, I don't like

15:52

this. Cody

15:55

Rhodes. I'm sure he wishes

15:57

you liked every inflection he

15:59

has. I don't like

16:01

when he starts to talk like

16:03

this Peter and Greg This

16:06

is I mean, okay anything else

16:08

besides that? Perfect

16:13

I'm gonna tell him I'm gonna tell him right

16:15

now But was it the point of that that he

16:17

was mocking the rock though? Like no, no, no the

16:19

rock is it's when he when he tries to make

16:22

a real point He starts

16:24

to talk like this Oh Dip

16:28

dip is this this takes us Awkward

16:34

SGG dips criticism with that is sort of what

16:36

it sort of takes me back to read last

16:39

week. Yeah It's

16:41

not that he's wrong It's

16:43

and a lot of people were weighing in I agree with

16:45

dip I don't agree with that but but I it's

16:48

not about agreeing or disagreeing to me. It's

16:51

about what I prioritize as Criticism,

16:54

that's all Well

16:56

in this case even though in this case in

16:59

this case even more subjective though because I

17:01

would agree objectively Rhea still has work

17:03

to do on the mic the Cody

17:05

thing is literally just pure taste That's literally dip

17:07

just being like I don't like how you do

17:09

the little fuck octa thing I am in on

17:11

Cody Rhodes as you know, I think I got

17:13

to tell you I was talking to somebody yesterday

17:15

about this We're I mean

17:18

we're saying I'm at this point. I'm

17:21

this is how I'm feeling Hogan

17:26

Stone cold Steve Austin John

17:28

Cena Roman Reigns Cody Rhodes Wait,

17:31

he's the next You're

17:34

saying he's that you're saying the next after John

17:36

Cena. No after Hogan

17:39

stone cold After

17:41

Roman Cody, what do you mean in terms of

17:43

face of the company? Yes in

17:45

terms of face of the company top guy He

17:48

is the it's him in dips defense.

17:50

He wasn't here when you said this last week on

17:52

the on the Tuesday show and yeah Yeah, I

17:55

mean it was that's I mean, well people could

17:57

deny that fact. I mean I would say that

18:00

I would argue against that. No, I don't

18:02

think there's, I think we are in the era where people

18:04

are denying facts, but the key word that you use there

18:06

is that it's a fact. I don't,

18:08

the more interesting thing to me would be to debate

18:12

where he'll end up relative to

18:14

Roman and John. That is, that's

18:16

going to be the fun thing to watch is like, how far

18:18

can Cody go? Does he have another year?

18:20

Because, uh, Dessie and I talked about this a couple

18:22

of weeks ago. Cody

18:24

has lasted longer

18:27

as a cheered baby face than John

18:29

Cena ever did. Yeah.

18:31

It's been the whole three year run. Consistent

18:34

cheers. It's John,

18:36

John, John's consistent cheers. When

18:39

once he was a made guy on top, has

18:41

it been three years already? No,

18:43

it's been, it's been two years, two

18:45

years. Once, once John

18:47

was the made guy on top,

18:50

the smattering of booze started.

18:53

And then, oh yeah. And then within

18:55

like dip within like a

18:57

year, year and a half

19:00

of him being on top, it was like

19:02

half booze. It was even less than that.

19:04

Cause I remember that we've seen enough stuff

19:06

started like, Oh my God. And then two

19:08

years into it, three years into it, it

19:10

was, let's go see in a, seen a

19:12

sucks. I mean, it really

19:14

happened quick. So Cody, Cody argued that

19:17

his, sorry. Yeah, no, you're, no, I've

19:19

been probably to the same thing. Cody

19:21

is over a pure baby face. I

19:24

mean, as in it's, it's kind of forever.

19:26

It goes back like 20 some years. I

19:28

think that there's been this purely over a

19:30

baby face that like kids and adults all cheer

19:32

for. I think that's pretty rare. I think that

19:35

he's just more sincere than John Cena. And I

19:37

think people sense that he feels more sincere as

19:39

a baby face. And I think it's going to

19:41

be a long time before people turn on Cody.

19:44

I think it could be a while. Yeah, I'm sure

19:46

it's not going to happen, but it's going to be

19:48

a while. It'll happen at some point. He's maybe

19:51

not. I don't know. But he's

19:53

a, he is the next guy. He is

19:55

the next carry the company face of the

19:57

company guy. And I'm like happy that it's

19:59

like changing and becoming someone different. By the

20:01

way, it's him now. It's him

20:04

now. I mean, I mean, the fact is,

20:06

Roman's not on a full-time schedule. Like

20:08

Roman's not doing the same amount of press

20:10

that Cody's doing. It's

20:12

Cody's already been handed the ball in terms

20:14

of like, you're the guy. You think completely

20:17

has been handed the ball at

20:19

this point. I think he's

20:21

thought of as, I'm not saying they

20:23

think of him as the single most

20:25

famous person we can access because

20:27

they have Logan Paul. They have Roman Reigns. They

20:29

have other people there that are very famous. But

20:31

I think in terms of like thinking

20:34

of who do we prioritize as

20:37

we're doing a show and we need to make sure

20:39

this guy comes so everybody's happy. Like we

20:41

have an appearance. It's the, I think he's thought

20:43

of first in all of those things. Probably that

20:46

would be my guess. You're probably right. He's,

20:49

he's the first, the first male. Yeah,

20:52

for sure. Exactly. I mean, I think it's,

20:55

you know, him and Bianca are

20:57

the Bianca, like the two that are like, you're right.

21:00

Top of the list for everybody. I

21:02

think we're probably headed towards if I had to guess

21:04

a Cody, obviously a Cody Rhodes win at WrestleMania and

21:06

then a feud with the rock until summer slam. And

21:08

then you get the rock until summer slam. And then

21:10

I don't know. And then we may get

21:13

the rock for a while. Maybe

21:15

I can call it. Yeah, maybe

21:17

I think we get the rock for a

21:19

while because eventually we're going to have to get rock Roman

21:21

or maybe not. No, we tried

21:24

to figure out last time too. Last when we talked

21:26

about this is who's going to be Cody's rival coming

21:29

out of whatever the result at WrestleMania

21:31

is. I think it's a good question. Well,

21:34

one thing is clear though. One thing is clear from what's

21:36

happened in the last few weeks. We're

21:38

getting rock Roman and

21:40

we're getting rock Cody. Like those two things

21:42

are both being set up simultaneously. I can't,

21:45

it's not, yes, we have a tag match

21:47

coming up and that's great, but even that

21:49

tag match is just going to further rock

21:51

Roman and rock Cody like obvious

21:54

here it is. It's backlash Cody in the

21:56

rock. And then you have some

21:59

angle where I mean, this

22:01

could happen at Mania too, but which I

22:03

theorized a couple of weeks ago, but

22:05

maybe you get Rock Roman, you give

22:08

Cody the moment, his big

22:11

clean win over Roman, you

22:13

know, at the end of WrestleMania. And then

22:15

at Backlash, you have the Rock, you have to build

22:17

up to the Rock and Cody. You

22:19

have, you know, the

22:23

Rock lose to Cody, and then

22:25

Roman reigns in the Rock at Summer Slam

22:29

in a non-title match. Could be

22:31

that, but they could also like, they could avoid

22:33

the things like Backlash and like the overseas PLEs.

22:35

It might not even be for that. You know

22:38

what I mean? It may be a straight

22:41

up, they run SummerSlam, maybe Money

22:43

in the Bank, Toronto. You

22:46

know, we'll get to have SummerSlam at the Rock. I think the Rock's

22:48

last, I think the Rock, I think we're done. He's

22:51

gonna have to go back to work at some point. He's

22:55

the final boss. He's a member of the board.

22:57

Seth's boss. He's Cody's boss. He is

22:59

back at work right now. Yeah, this is his

23:01

work. He owns this work. I mean,

23:03

what are we talking about? I mean,

23:07

by the way, though, it's funny that you say that because

23:09

like, does he need to go back to work? No, but

23:11

he does. Of course not. No, he does because he's a

23:13

crazy man and he has to, but he

23:16

never has to make another film if

23:18

he doesn't want to. The

23:20

man has a new product every three months. I

23:24

just, you know, listen, you can't relate to

23:26

people who are at this level of success.

23:28

It's an unimaginable life that

23:30

he's living. But I see him and I

23:32

go, wouldn't it be fun to just go, you

23:34

know what? I'm gonna do like two

23:36

years of like, this is what I do. I'm

23:38

just gonna like, have fun. I'm just gonna go

23:40

back. I'm not gonna work every week, but

23:43

I'm gonna every couple of weeks, I'm gonna jump

23:45

on the private jet. I'm gonna take my little

23:47

adorable family and I'm gonna go be a wrestler

23:49

again. And it's gonna be the best ever. And

23:52

I get to sort of honor my family and do all

23:54

this stuff. And then, And

23:56

guess what? And then Hollywood's gonna miss me and then I'm gonna

23:58

come back and drop a movie again. The craziest

24:00

thing in the world. Spray or only greedy.

24:03

We're. Just happy that the rock. Is around.

24:05

And wants to be. I.

24:11

Thought Cody was awesome last night. And.

24:14

I love that he called out the

24:16

final boss saying I love that he

24:18

took a shot at Brian Gore. It's

24:20

I love that he had a mock

24:22

the rock for calling himself a seal.

24:25

You know and that was my disagreement with

24:27

a Zach in the chat is that Zach

24:29

was like all the cody trying to be

24:31

cool using insider language and I said no,

24:33

no no, he's mocking The Rock for using

24:35

insider language on social media. That's.

24:38

What That was? The. Roxane. I'm

24:40

my biggest. He'll no. No.

24:43

I usually only did that. I think because of

24:45

the rock is the Robert dip a little he

24:47

also media the to our dependency the social media

24:50

rocks referring to himself as a heel all over

24:52

social media. Know. You know

24:54

that? Know. And. As the other

24:56

thing to ally important concepts for last night,

24:58

the road is literally tweeting it's and post

25:01

in i geez where he says i'm the

25:03

biggest he'll since the eighties. And. So

25:05

strong of those worth a billion followers

25:07

like we don't need what he says

25:10

or sorcery to get re rocked on

25:12

smackdown. Interesting in the said almost as

25:14

long time. And

25:16

ever at Mls? Yeah, that that's

25:18

important. Context yell. So Cody is

25:20

one hundred percent be like or

25:22

a bro. I bet that's what

25:24

he's doing. Now. As

25:27

I never know. But here's the one

25:29

thing about coding. Cody

25:31

for me makes it hard to

25:33

believe. His. Stop.

25:36

It. But we always want to believe that there's

25:38

a real feud. That's what we want. Another

25:41

album. Will be honest, we

25:43

want Cody to actually not

25:45

let the rock. As

25:48

much as it's great and we love the idea

25:50

that they're all friends and everyone has a good

25:52

laugh together, we really want to hear it and

25:54

go Horner know. I can tell. coach

25:57

he doesn't want his ass around he wants

25:59

to said him back. The only problem... Why are

26:01

you telling the world all our secrets? I

26:03

know. You're the only rock of

26:06

podcasting. The only problem

26:08

I have with all that... What a meta conversation

26:10

this is. It's beyond

26:12

meta. The only problem I have with

26:14

us wanting to believe that Cody means

26:16

everything that he says is that

26:19

Cody is the greatest guy

26:21

in the world. I don't

26:23

know if he can mean it.

26:25

He is the nicest, most quality

26:27

human being of all time. But

26:30

that's what's so great is you don't

26:32

know. He also takes this business incredibly

26:34

seriously. Like, although Cody is the nicest

26:36

guy ever, he does have that Bret

26:38

Hart in him where it's

26:40

like, there's a little bit

26:42

of, dare I say, hold on, it's

26:45

still real to me, damn it, that

26:48

exists within Cody. It

26:50

is still real to him, damn it. This is

26:53

life. So

26:55

I'm very, very excited and very, very

26:58

curious about where we're going to go. And

27:01

there's also other things happening at WrestleMania. Matches

27:03

being made, things are going on, Dip is

27:05

still not interested in... Did Sami Zayn and

27:07

Gunther make you any more interested last night?

27:10

I didn't catch that segment. I gotta watch

27:12

it tonight. I don't know if it

27:14

will, SGG. I don't know if it will actually make them care

27:16

more. I'm

27:19

most worried about the Usos right now. But

27:22

the Usos I thought last night had a good

27:24

night. Me too. What?

27:26

Jay Paul got the hush things for me a little

27:28

bit and then Jimmy was really like, I don't give

27:30

a damn. It was better. Wait,

27:33

I need a step. I need a step. Okay,

27:35

no, no. There could still be a step, but

27:37

real quick Dip, if your concern is, as it

27:39

was for both of us last week when we

27:41

were talking, that they're kind

27:43

of getting short shrift for Jimmy and

27:46

Jay, having a segment last

27:48

night with opening the show with Jimmy and Jay

27:50

in the middle of the ring. I mean, that's what

27:52

we're trying to... No, I know.

27:54

I can't deny that. But I still... And Cody got

27:56

involved and Solo got involved. So there was a little

27:58

bit of like... I still would like

28:01

to see like... Oh yeah, and the Cody part which brings

28:03

it closer to the bloodline which is what you want. You're

28:05

right, but I'd still like to see like... I

28:07

would have liked to have seen The Rock like make that

28:09

match. Or Roman

28:11

like make that match. As

28:13

opposed to them randomly deciding they

28:16

should have a match. I hear

28:18

that. That's all. That's how I

28:20

would sort of have tweaked it, but it's too late. Unless

28:24

they do some segment with everybody. Which they may, I

28:26

mean there's still a couple of... It could, it could

28:28

come as soon as Friday, right? It could come as

28:30

soon as Friday. Because Cody said he was gonna walk

28:32

into SmackDown alone. And

28:34

Jey Uso told him not to trust it.

28:36

If you saw the go-home show for Mania

28:38

on Friday, you know, before the show was

28:40

like all of them in the ring facing

28:42

off together, nose to nose. You

28:44

know, all the heels and all the baby faces. Like

28:46

I would like, that would be like meaningful and it

28:48

would be a great visual and I would like that

28:50

a lot. So if they do something along those lines

28:52

then great. You know, what I

28:54

would love about that too is that it would

28:57

increase the stakes for

28:59

a bloodline rules and it would like

29:01

really sort of put a visual on

29:03

the fact that... Good point. It's not

29:05

quite if Cody loses

29:07

that the bloodline has the upper hand.

29:09

It's that Cody losing

29:11

is just as dangerous for

29:14

the bloodline as it is

29:16

for Cody Rhodes on Sunday. What

29:18

are the odds that this week, The

29:21

Rock comes out wearing a shirt that says,

29:23

the final boss? Mmm...

29:26

I mean, what are the moments? If he can get

29:28

a Versace the final boss shirt then I'm gonna say

29:31

100%. Well, yeah, so

29:33

far he has not worn a wrestling t-shirt.

29:35

He has only worn the Rocky

29:37

clothes. Right. So

29:40

if he can get a Versace final boss vest...

29:43

Is he on SmackDown this week? I don't believe

29:45

so. So that was he ran. That was

29:47

the three straight that he was gonna do. Yeah,

29:50

he did it. And then the next

29:52

one is the Raw before Mania. Is that it?

29:55

Yes. And possibly

29:57

the SmackDown before Mania, but definitely the Raw before Mania.

30:00

Also, I would love just crazy

30:02

wacky idea, wacky. I'm gonna throw

30:04

this out there. I

30:06

wouldn't hate, Rock, since you're around, you

30:09

popped up on one of these shows over the next

30:11

couple weeks that you're not advertised for. I

30:14

wouldn't hate it. I know

30:16

it's great to promote them all and it obviously helps sell tickets

30:18

and it's good for everybody, but it would

30:20

be nice if on one of these ones, because

30:22

we have SmackDown this week, we

30:25

have Raw next week, we have SmackDown

30:27

next week, then we

30:29

have the Barkley Center Raw, then

30:32

we have the go home SmackDown in

30:34

Philly. And then, so we have

30:36

five. And by the way, Rock should

30:38

be at the Hall of Fame to

30:41

support Paul Heyman as part of the bloodline. Just wanna say

30:43

that he should be sitting there front. Wouldn't that be so

30:45

dope, by the way, if they had the whole bloodline sitting

30:47

together in the crowd at the Hall of Fame? Yeah,

30:50

or standing behind Paul. You

30:52

mean better? Oh, nage. Like, office seek of the

30:54

whole thing. I have

30:56

a dinner in Beverly Hills tonight and

30:59

I think the Versace store closes around

31:01

eight. And

31:03

so I'm thinking maybe

31:06

I get a Versace dress for

31:08

cheap heat live. I'll tell you

31:10

now, with inflation and

31:13

30 years, it's not a $500 vest anymore. I'll

31:17

look at the vest. People

31:20

respect, no, no, let me see right now.

31:22

So I see right now over, God, Versace

31:24

is a weird brand, right? In

31:26

97, it was a $500 shirt. It's not $500. I'm

31:29

not talking about the stuff you can get in the department

31:31

stores. This is the stuff at the Versace store on

31:33

Rodeo Drive. Like, you know, the real stuff. I'm

31:36

looking right now at their website. What

31:40

would I even look that up under? The

31:43

kind of clothes that is. I

31:45

mean, it's a shirt? I guess it's a shirt. It's a shirt. Yeah.

31:49

You can get a nautical silk shirt

31:51

for $1,500. Oh,

31:53

okay. This is

31:56

a Rocky, a rock-like shirt. This is

31:58

a, I'm gonna send you guys a- link here.

32:00

You guys will all agree that here I'm

32:02

sending this to the group chat. This, this

32:05

is a very rock like shirt and

32:07

it's $1,800. Okay, let's

32:10

look. Tell me if you think that's rock like. He

32:13

would need to cut the sleeves of course. Yes,

32:15

it's rock like. Yes. 18 hundo

32:17

for that. Yeah, one for the

32:19

for the show. You need one. I'm thinking about it. It'll

32:22

be the only extra small they have. No

32:24

Versace runs real tiny. It used to

32:26

anyway. Oh, so he has to

32:29

get you up. Oh, mine is only European sizes runs

32:31

all the way up to 62 though. Dip. So don't you worry from 44

32:33

to 62. 18 hundred and $25. That's a lot of money for a shirt.

32:40

But I gotta tell you what a, what

32:42

an interesting weird brand, not all of

32:44

it. There's some normal things here, but

32:48

they're the stuff that like the rock wears. It

32:51

is an interesting bold thing that they do

32:53

there. Well, I'll say this rock when you

32:55

send us some Papa two weeks, no, just send

32:57

us some Versace shirts. Got what I got to

32:59

do. What I pop big dip.

33:01

No, no, no, Papa two weeks of Versace.

33:03

No offense. It would be energy. It would

33:05

be a much more ironic

33:09

and would look better if

33:11

SGG showed up in Philly wearing the Versace

33:13

shirt. I gotta be honest with you. I,

33:16

I, cause like people

33:18

would actually believe who listen to this podcast that you just went

33:20

into the Versace store and bought a shirt one day. SGG

33:23

people know he's not giving up a vacation to

33:25

go to the Versace store. So no, as she's

33:27

showing up in that black and yellow, that is

33:29

a, you know what? I should, I may get

33:31

up where he's a gift. So

33:34

rock is going to send it with the Papa two.

33:36

He tried to land wearing robes. Let's see if it's

33:38

under that too. Oh, well, cause

33:40

I mean, you know what? He does flirt with

33:42

robes, right? I mean, it's kind of, it's razor

33:44

row, like robe robes. Cause

33:46

when he came out though, it was like a

33:48

suit vest that he had on the Versace vest.

33:50

So I'm wondering where, where is that?

33:53

Where are they hiding that? You

33:55

know, the rock, it is possible. I don't see

33:57

them here at all. You know, it

33:59

is possible. that the rock in

34:02

all likelihood gets the special room

34:04

treatment. Oh, there's no question. Yeah.

34:08

I mean, at most of these stores, they have the

34:10

special room. And you go, I'm the rock. I'd

34:13

like to go to the special room. He's not going into the

34:16

store. His stylist is going to the store? Yeah.

34:20

Yes. When was the last time you think

34:22

the rock went to a store? 20 years ago.

34:25

You don't think the rock's been to a store for 20 years? I

34:28

don't think the rock is casually walking into a clothing

34:30

store at all. Now, you

34:32

know what? Because he's also, realistically, this is

34:34

all gimmick. The rock isn't casually walking in

34:36

anywhere. Well, but also, there

34:38

are celebrities as big in the... There are celebrities

34:41

as big as the rock who could go into

34:43

a store. But the rock's not

34:45

interested in that. It's not his thing. He doesn't

34:47

actually care. He's wearing tank tops. He's

34:50

wearing tank tops and sweatpants every day. Yeah.

34:53

Like, I don't know. It's so

34:55

unfathomable. I mean, I live in Hollywood. I see stars all the time.

34:59

I don't... I can't even fathom the

35:01

idea of seeing him casually walking around

35:04

or doing anything like in public, like,

35:07

compared to others. Yeah, he

35:09

is unusual in that. I mean, I

35:11

was telling Dip... Wait, did I tell you

35:13

Dip? Maybe I didn't tell Dip.

35:16

Or either of you guys. I didn't put it in the chat. On

35:19

Sunday, I walked right past Jerry

35:22

Seinfeld at Central Point.

35:25

Oh, my God. Guess what

35:27

he looked just like. Jerry

35:30

Seinfeld. 100% looked like Jerry Seinfeld.

35:34

Jerry Seinfeld looked exactly like Jerry Seinfeld. Were

35:36

you saying? Walking through Central

35:38

Park. And thanks to

35:40

my new glasses, I spotted him from so far

35:42

away. It was crazy. I was like... Was

35:45

he alone? No, he was

35:47

walking with a friend. And

35:50

he was walking at such a pace

35:54

that it was an unapproachable,

35:56

unstoppable pace. Of

35:59

course. you would have to tackle him.

36:01

You would have to go, you'd have to be willing

36:03

to say, I'm just gonna wrap my arms around and

36:05

bring him to the ground in order to force this

36:07

man down the conversation. So the best thing about it

36:09

is though, so I see him,

36:11

thanks to my glasses, I spot him way up

36:13

ahead. But just as I spot him, Natalie,

36:16

and he's far enough away that she could say it

36:18

without him hearing, Natalie's like, is that Jerry? And

36:21

as he gets close, I'm like, oh my God,

36:23

that is Jerry. He walked right back, I go,

36:25

that is Jerry Seinfeld. And

36:27

then, that's a big New York spotting dude. Natalie's

36:30

friend who were with Megan is

36:33

like, oh my God, Josh, her husband. She's like,

36:35

Josh has to see Jerry. No.

36:38

Meanwhile, no, but Josh is way

36:40

far back. So like, she

36:42

has time to get back to Josh

36:45

so he can also have this spotting.

36:48

So she runs back towards Josh.

36:51

Now Jerry is between her

36:54

and Josh, but Jerry

36:56

doesn't see anything. He's walking the other direction. She

36:59

lifts her arms up and starts going like this so

37:01

her husband will just look up and

37:04

see that it's fucking Seinfeld. And

37:06

it was hilarious. Natalie and I were dying. We're like,

37:08

I can't believe that you're doing this. But I have

37:10

to tell you, he is

37:13

a, for an in the

37:15

wild sighting, that is a high

37:17

level celebrity for an in the wild. I've

37:20

seen Seinfeld in the wild, believe it or not. You've seen him in

37:22

the wild too? I have. I have.

37:25

You're not gonna believe this, but I saw Jerry

37:27

Seinfeld and Bill Clinton together.

37:29

In the wild? On 125th

37:32

Street in front of the Apollo Theater. What

37:34

were they doing though? Was it an event or whatever? Or like,

37:36

were they just asking to call up for an out? I

37:39

have no idea because I was like 17. I

37:42

was just in the street. No, no,

37:44

no. And I walking down 125th Street,

37:47

I see a crowd of people and

37:49

I'm like, okay, something's going on.

37:52

And then it's Jerry and Bill just posted up

37:54

in front of the Apollo Theater. That's not the

37:56

wild though, Greg. Yeah, that's the wild. If

37:59

you saw Bill Clinton pumping gas. That's seeing him in the

38:01

wild. The Apollo is, that's a thing. They were there. Bill

38:06

Clinton was there shaking hands. Listen, walking

38:08

in Central Park is the wild. That's the

38:10

wild. Listen, you kind of expect to see Jerry Saafell walking

38:12

in Central Park. Do you expect it is Jerry Saafell and

38:14

Bill Clinton just posted up on 125th Street? No,

38:17

you're right. When you say it like that, but if you'd said

38:19

there was no event and they were just buying it. I don't

38:21

know if there was an event. If you were in Ivo Dega

38:23

buying, you know, like boot lockers. You

38:26

know. Well, cones.

38:29

You know, that would be a big deal. Me

38:31

and Jerry just want something we could roll

38:33

up and enjoy. I mean, it wasn't, it wasn't

38:35

bad. Here

38:38

are my favorite spots. Which probably

38:40

didn't happen. I need a lot of that work. Which probably

38:42

didn't happen. What's the, what's the, we're

38:44

going to Red Rooster. What's

38:47

the main, what's Mrs. What's her face? What's

38:49

the main soul food place? Oh,

38:51

Sylvia's. Where's Sylvia's? Aw,

38:54

I love Sylvia. Yeah.

38:57

He did E-Mop and Dew. Let's go

38:59

see if they still make it at

39:01

the moment. You know, I heard today

39:04

it's July 11th. We're going to get

39:06

ourselves a free slurpee. I

39:08

got to say, I got to

39:10

say, dip, you do an excellent

39:13

president Clinton. Yeah, it was quite good. I didn't

39:15

know. I didn't know that you had that in the repertoire. Oh,

39:18

it's there. Yeah, that was an

39:20

excellent book. Every, every Southern person

39:22

I do is

39:25

a, is just Phil Hartman

39:27

doing Bill Clinton. No

39:29

matter what Southern person you mentioned, whenever

39:31

I do an impression on the

39:33

K show of Paul O'Neill from the Yankees, I

39:36

always go, Hey, Michael, it's me, Paul

39:38

O'Neill every single time. He's like, but that's not

39:40

Bill Clinton. I mean, but what else, what else

39:42

do you do with us with the Southern voice?

39:45

By the way, do you guys realize

39:47

the last curb your enthusiasm is WrestleMania,

39:50

you know what we need

39:53

a watery. Paul Larry, Larry

39:55

did this to himself for the

39:57

things he said about wrestling. Now

39:59

he has to go up. against WrestleMania.

40:03

Dip, did you catch up on any

40:05

of the AEW? No. What

40:08

is going on, dude? What's

40:11

happening with you? I need one

40:13

more weekend of, you know... It's a

40:15

really... But this is the biggest one. It's

40:18

regular business this week. We're back

40:20

to regular business. Yeah, we're back to regular business. I

40:22

can't say. This is a big... Isn't

40:25

this how you decompress? Just

40:28

levels of decompression. But

40:30

by the way, we're all waiting to hear

40:32

you say what we know you're obviously going

40:34

to say about Mercedes-Benz.

40:37

I can't. It has to do with the

40:39

microphone. I can't. Well, I'll

40:41

say this. Go ahead. I think it was a

40:43

good show. I wish they would have structured it

40:45

differently with terms of her rollout. I

40:48

think... I feel like... Willow and Rio should

40:50

have gone on earlier. I

40:53

feel like Joe... Does Joe and

40:55

Wardlow should have got that main event? And

40:57

I feel like she should have did the

40:59

confrontation first, come out as a surprise, and

41:01

then have a promo at the top of

41:03

the nine o'clock hour instead of her promo,

41:06

then the whole show, and then

41:08

she pops up at the end. I 100%

41:10

agree. I

41:13

really think that... That

41:16

was a huge mistake. By having her come out

41:18

at the beginning, it's just you put

41:20

her in a terrible spot. The only thing you can do is hand

41:22

her a mic, and why would you do that? There's

41:24

no need. You just can close the show

41:26

with her coming out and standing there. It's the easiest thing. You

41:29

get a free week out of her just coming

41:31

out and standing on the stage. Why jump right

41:33

to the mic? This is interesting. Joseph

41:36

Strzewski. You ever read Joseph's stuff in the

41:38

New York Post there, S.G.? I

41:41

always say his name wrong. Strzewski. I

41:43

can't say I read the New York Post. Well,

41:45

no. If you were to see a wrestling headline come

41:47

up, though, he's the guy who writes wrestling stuff for

41:49

them. And he's good.

41:52

He's not at all New York

41:54

Post-like. You have to remember

41:56

the sports and entertainment pages of the New

41:58

York Post. to separate from the

42:00

near post. He's

42:03

a good one and he has

42:05

an article today. This is kind of interesting. WWE

42:08

needs to look in the mirror

42:10

after AW star studded free agency

42:12

Hall. Interesting take.

42:15

Curious to see what he has. I think it's mostly going

42:17

to focus on Osprey, but

42:19

Osprey and Mercedes. And

42:22

Okada, AW did pick up some solid free

42:24

agents, but I don't, I

42:26

don't know that is as damaging to WWE

42:28

as it's going to be. I

42:30

don't, listen, I can tell you definitively, it will

42:32

not be damaging. The only thing that

42:34

it would be is, is missed fun. I just

42:37

wish Osprey had signed to WWE. That's all. Yeah.

42:41

Listen, I wish WWE got all of them, but

42:43

that's where we are now. Right? Like AW exists and the

42:45

AW is going to be a place where people can go.

42:49

And people are going to go. And in

42:51

the case of Mercedes Monet, who, you know, they're

42:53

saying now she's the highest

42:55

paid woman's wrestler. Right

42:57

now they're going to go for

42:59

a significant, for a

43:01

significant bag. So if WWE is not

43:03

willing to pay the bag, then they

43:06

have to just make do with AW taking that

43:08

talent. And then when AW gets that talent, they

43:11

have to put them in positions to actually be

43:15

real threats to WWE.

43:17

It can't just be that on paper,

43:19

we have this incredible roster. Well,

43:22

I, I, I, I'm the real

43:24

one that hits me is Osprey. Like

43:28

Mercedes had a long run in WWE. I think it'll

43:30

be interesting actually to see her somewhere else. I don't,

43:32

you know what I mean? I know that there are

43:34

a lot of fans who would have loved to have

43:36

had her back. And yeah, there

43:38

are, there are things to do with her now, of course, but

43:40

it's not like she hasn't worked with a lot of the people

43:42

that are already there. And, and

43:45

Ocada, fun as he

43:47

will be. I

43:49

don't know that he would get utilized the

43:51

right way with the kind of product WWE

43:53

does. I don't know that it

43:55

maximizes his strength, which is the wrestling

43:58

of it all. Osprey is

44:00

the one that to me stands

44:02

out as Sheeji because we've never

44:04

had a Brit like him. He

44:07

is a different kind of character. Like

44:10

there's no one on the roster in

44:12

WWE right now who's cutting

44:14

a promo that reminds you of what Will

44:16

Osprey does. And

44:18

then there's also nobody really have a matches

44:21

quite like Will Osprey does. So

44:23

he brings, he brings something really

44:25

fun and interesting and like you

44:27

can go through the roster and picture how

44:30

many fun different things you could do

44:32

Osprey and Seth, Osprey and AJ, Osprey

44:34

and Logan Paul. Osprey, like there'd be

44:36

so many fun matches plus

44:39

like the crowd chanting bruv. I mean it's

44:41

just a good time. Osprey is just a

44:43

good time. Yeah, I just, I don't

44:45

think that this version of Will Osprey that we got

44:47

right now, like I think AEW got to it on

44:49

the stage that they got it to much

44:52

faster than WWE would have because I feel like if

44:54

he signs a WWE, you have

44:56

to believe that he's going to NXT. I

44:58

still don't see him as like a straight to

45:00

main roster kind

45:04

of talent. I mean he's ready on the mic

45:06

dude. I don't know

45:08

enough about, I haven't watched enough of his matches

45:10

yet to, nor am I enough of an expert

45:12

there probably to gauge whether he would need ring

45:14

work even though obviously he's a brilliant, we know,

45:17

and I know you're not saying he's not a

45:19

brilliant wrestler, but just stylistically. It's

45:21

the presentation, right? WWE put their fingerprints

45:24

on everybody's presentation before they send them to Raw and

45:26

like they tweak it and they get it ready

45:30

for what, for like their cameras and for how

45:32

they set the stage for the world. And I

45:34

don't think that Will Osprey is a person that

45:38

even with his promos, right, as entertaining as they are,

45:41

I don't think that verbatim

45:44

he could say some of those promos on

45:47

Raw. You're probably right. Although maybe

45:49

he can now. I don't know. No,

45:52

no, no. And maybe it's just a matter of weeks.

45:54

Maybe it's a matter of like, Oh, Hey, let's, let's bring them that. Maybe you

45:56

don't even, it might not be that you even

45:58

have to put them on NXT TV. much

46:00

as he would have to go, you know, bring him down

46:02

to Orlando for a month. I don't know that you need

46:04

to put him. I wouldn't. He's such

46:06

a big international star. And I granted, I know that's, I

46:08

take that with a grain of salt. It's still with the

46:11

nerds. I'm not saying he's such an international star with people

46:13

who don't know, but where I

46:16

think you could still debut him, I would debut

46:18

him on big TV. By

46:20

the way, anyone going to come back now and, and,

46:22

and apologize. I don't remember who I even argued with,

46:24

but about the Jade being

46:26

completely ready. Let's just, let's just throw right up

46:29

on smack down and raw. Yeah. I wasn't me.

46:31

Cause I said, no, no, you were with me.

46:34

You said NXT. I was like, I don't think we're going

46:36

to see her on TV. I don't, I think there's a

46:38

lot of work to be done in the ring still. And

46:41

the question is that's interesting. And by the way, again,

46:43

her debut was amazing. She killed it. Could not have

46:45

been better. I told her when I saw her, like

46:48

literally that could not have gone better. She's crushing these

46:50

spots that they put her in. She's been crushing it,

46:53

but they obviously needed time, presumably.

46:55

And as she, everyone

46:57

was assuming we're going to get like a tag match at

46:59

mania. I wonder

47:02

if we are, I mean,

47:04

it's getting close. Huh? The reports are

47:06

that Oscars hurt. So if we, you

47:08

know, it was rumored. I wasn't

47:11

room. I mean, I guess people were

47:13

speculating that she would be a part of whatever

47:15

Bianca's doing and Bianca's involved in

47:18

a situation with damage control that

47:20

now involves Naomi. Maybe Jade

47:24

could have been a part of that, but Oscars hurt now.

47:26

So, you know, it wouldn't

47:28

be three on three. It would be, you know,

47:30

who knows how they, how hurt is

47:32

Oscar. It hasn't

47:34

been reported yet, just like what she needs

47:36

and how hurt she is. But people noticed

47:39

that she was limping on Friday

47:41

after she jumped off the apron and

47:44

then reports came out, I believe today

47:46

that she did in fact injure her

47:48

knee. How injured is she? And will

47:50

she be able to perform in what? 18

47:53

days now, maybe 19 days, 18

47:55

days. It's very close, but

47:57

I guess will

48:00

get more on

48:03

Friday as time passes. But I will

48:05

say this too about Osprey

48:07

and even Okada going to NXT. Another

48:11

thing that fans don't think about, especially

48:14

with somebody like Osprey and Okada, is

48:16

that these

48:18

are big international stars that

48:21

will be asked to come to

48:23

the US. And that's

48:25

another huge transition, like

48:27

a life transition, right? Bring your family over

48:30

to the States. And as soon as you get here,

48:33

you're on tour in a different

48:35

place every week. That's

48:38

a lot to throw at somebody who is

48:40

living in the United States for the

48:42

first time. So even a stint in Orlando,

48:45

just to get acclimated to the country

48:47

and transition and like buy a house

48:50

and put kids in school if you

48:52

have to and get a footing before you're

48:54

thrown into a new workplace and

48:57

a new city every week, I

48:59

think is beneficial even beyond what the

49:02

fans usually think about, which is Kenny

49:04

Wrestle, Kenny Promo. All right, debut

49:06

him at Mania, give him the big belt and

49:08

then send them around the world. These people

49:11

got to get their lives set up too. And

49:13

that's a huge benefit of WWE having the Performance

49:16

Center in Orlando, Jay. They

49:18

can learn the company and have a home base. Yeah,

49:21

exactly. Without the cameras and

49:23

get acclimated. But

49:26

I will say I'm excited to see what Osprey

49:30

does. Also

49:32

LA Knight AJ Styles now official

49:34

for WrestleMania for

49:37

the six pack ladder match. We

49:41

now have Judgment Day, DIY, Awesome

49:44

Truth, New Day

49:46

and two more teams. I'm very excited

49:48

for this match because it's giving me

49:50

ladder match, Money the Bank match at

49:52

Mania vibes. Yeah, like

49:55

it's just going to be a lot of fun. Awesome

49:57

Truth is going to be a They're

50:00

gonna be great. I would love for them to win the titles.

50:02

I would not be mad, an awesome truth. Obviously

50:04

there's a history there between the Judgment Day and

50:06

Truth. There could be a lot of fun to be had

50:08

there. Who knows, but I am excited

50:10

for the ladder match. Yeah, I would love

50:12

for them to win the titles too. And you

50:15

know, I wasn't sure how stacked

50:17

this was gonna be, but just from

50:19

the Raw side, this is an insane, like

50:22

if it was just these four teams, insanity

50:26

awaits us at WrestleMania. And two

50:28

more teams from the SmackDown side are gonna come

50:30

in. So like this match on

50:33
