Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

0:05

Over 25 years ago, on September

0:07

29th, 1998, we watched

0:09

a brainy girl with curly hair

0:11

drop everything to follow a guy

0:14

she only kind of knew to

0:16

college. And so began

0:18

Felicity. My name is Greg Grundberg, though

0:20

you may know me better as Sean

0:23

Blumberg, the inventor of Smooth A's and

0:25

director of Dachiaventuri. I'm still trying to

0:27

get that released. I'm teaming

0:29

up with my Felicity wife, Mandy Foreman,

0:32

and the ringers Juliette Littman to

0:34

revisit our favorite moments from our

0:36

favorite show and talk to the

0:38

people who helped shape it.

1:02

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

1:04

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

1:06

if you want something a little sleek,

1:09

business like maybe try the ABC slim

1:11

fit trouser. But I am a joggers

1:13

guy. I just once COVID happened, I

1:15

was just like I want to wear

1:17

jogging pants and joggers and all kinds

1:19

of soft pants as much as I

1:21

possibly can, especially when I'm working out ultra

1:23

comfortable and versatile. ABC

1:28

own. Buy a pair right now at lululemon.com.

1:53

2:00

Ladies and gentlemen, the

2:03

world's number one sports recreation

2:05

podcast, Cheap Heat, is

2:07

back on a Friday. There's something

2:09

going on Friday edition of the

2:11

show and everybody's happy because

2:14

Dipperstein is here for a big

2:16

mailbag Friday show. Hey there, Dip.

2:18

Hi, how are you? You're wearing

2:20

a beautiful shirt on the end

2:22

of the week anniversary of, uh,

2:25

of, uh, Razor's Death. Two

2:27

years. It's been. And I,

2:29

I did go through and look, uh, first of all, I

2:32

watched the, the legends episode, which we should talk about. I

2:34

don't know if you've seen it. Um,

2:37

a lot of tragic, a lot of

2:39

tragedy, wrestling tragedy on TV, despite all

2:41

the great things happening on live television.

2:44

Um, how was I in the legends?

2:46

That's what matters. Let's talk about it. I

2:49

thought you were really good. Thank you.

2:51

Thank you. Yeah. Yeah.

2:54

Appreciate that. So, um, but, uh, anyway, you're wearing

2:56

a beautiful shirt. Yes. This,

2:58

uh, razor Ramon shirt, which I don't

3:00

know if you see Ted's post. It

3:02

did. I,

3:05

I recommended against that post. I said, I don't

3:07

think you should post it because people would, people

3:09

would be clamoring to enter his windows and take

3:11

the, take the shirt. Well, if you

3:13

didn't see it, by the way, I gave on

3:15

this week's episode, I did about a 15

3:17

minute promo for, for the wrestling for sale event.

3:19

So I think you guys know how I feel

3:21

about this big, big event

3:24

going down, uh, WrestleMania week,

3:27

all of the info to be found, all of

3:29

the vendors you can find at wrestling for sale.

3:32

Of course we're going to be there. It's going to be

3:34

fantastic. He's been, he's been posting the things he has. And

3:37

one of the things he posted today was this

3:39

all over print razor shirt that I'm wearing. He

3:42

posted like 12 of them. I

3:46

was like, why don't you just post like two? See

3:48

this is what me, this is Ted's an honest man,

3:50

guys. I said to him, why don't

3:52

you post like two? And then at

3:55

the thing when people buy them, you go to the

3:57

back and grab another one. He, this is the, he

3:59

has so many. razor shirts that if he were

4:01

really running an actual store, people

4:04

like customers could say to him, do you

4:06

have any more in the back? And he could

4:08

say, let me check. Correct. And

4:10

that's what I thought, isn't it better to do that than let

4:12

everybody know that you have 12? I

4:14

put two out front, I put 10 in the back. Let

4:16

me ask you a question, okay? Have you ever been, first

4:18

of all, I'm a big do you have any in the

4:21

back guy? Okay. We

4:25

already knew that about you. I had

4:27

to open the window. I never even knew that about you without you saying

4:30

that you're, do you have any in the back guy? Listen,

4:32

I wear smalls and everything and smalls are

4:34

the first to go in

4:37

the stores. Everybody knows that, especially in major cities

4:39

where everyone is tiny and good looking. So

4:42

I don't, I don't, I

4:44

don't think your logic is right. I think generally

4:47

hills and other places like that. No, I think

4:49

it's still always that most people are big and

4:51

they don't have enough. And

4:54

you're a, you're a diamond in the rough. Listen,

4:57

I, you know, at these, at these stores

4:59

that I'm shopping for, for tiny clothes, you

5:02

know, there's the smalls go

5:04

right away. That's that was my point. I was making

5:06

the smalls go right away. My guess is they only

5:08

have a few whenever they come in and everything's generally

5:10

in large and then you're stuck. You got to say,

5:12

is there something in the back? I've

5:15

been in kitchens at restaurants. I've

5:17

been in, uh, you know,

5:20

store rooms at furniture stores. I've

5:22

been in the back. I've been

5:24

backstage at WrestleMania. The

5:27

thing that flabbergasted me the most is

5:30

being back in the back room in the, do

5:34

you have anything in the back room at a

5:36

clothing store? Have you ever seen one of these

5:38

things? You mean

5:40

what's happening back there? Oh my

5:42

God. It is astounding that you

5:44

can find anything back there. I never

5:47

worked in retail, but I, I

5:49

probably would have been pretty good at it. Frankly. But I

5:51

think you'd be a great salesman. Great salesman. Yeah. Yeah. But

5:54

your kind of salesman now. Yeah. Kind

5:56

of a confirmed salesman.

6:00

Um, so, so by the way, so this, this

6:02

is a good bridge to the conversation

6:04

about the shirts. Yeah. I,

6:06

I heard from a couple of people who

6:09

were upset at

6:11

the prospect of not

6:14

a lot of small shirts available. I

6:16

said, I consider doing no small shirts.

6:18

Why? I don't be that guy.

6:20

Don't be the, there's no smalls

6:22

guy. Medium cannot be the biggest

6:24

size. And the smallest size. You can't

6:27

do that. I am on

6:29

behalf of people that are under five, six in

6:31

cheap shirts. What do you generally wear a medium? You

6:35

don't get the small. I think you still do a medium

6:37

for the t-shirt. I'm pretty sure

6:39

you right now. I'm, I'm, I'm

6:41

pushing. I'm pushing small right

6:43

now for those. But my

6:46

point, but if you're pushing small right now, that means you have

6:48

other times in your life when you go, I can't wear the

6:50

small. I got to wear the medium. So if it's a t-shirt,

6:52

why not just have medium so you can always wear it? Like

6:55

you need it to be a form fitting cheap

6:57

heat t-shirt. Is that what people need? Like,

6:59

I just don't understand what the need here is.

7:02

Because you're a guy that can just have, you're

7:05

a guy that can just let clothes just hang off

7:07

of you and your talent and you can wear whatever

7:09

you want. I, I, I, I

7:12

need, I'm, I'm very thin and small. I need

7:14

things to fit me perfect. But

7:17

it's, but a medium t-shirt will, there's no

7:19

way a medium T for a regular brand

7:21

will be so big on you that you

7:23

can't wear it. Could it? I'll have it.

7:25

I'll have it altered. I'll

7:29

have it altered. I mean, you can

7:31

wear a medium. What size of the sweater you're wearing right now?

7:34

Small. What is that

7:36

cashmere? Yes. Uh,

7:39

you have a cashmere sort of that's

7:41

a dishonest material. What cashmere you can't trust. You

7:43

can't trust cashmere. No, you cannot trust the size

7:45

of cashmere. You have no idea what it's doing.

7:47

No, I am going to get, I

7:49

came up with the order. I

7:51

landed on, I think this is

7:54

a hundred percent cashmere. Actually. I

7:56

landed on mostly large. Oh

7:58

my God. Dude,

8:00

most people want large and extra

8:02

large. I'm telling you. Can I

8:04

get a couple of smalls? I

8:06

did. Can you let me finish the

8:08

sentence? So I think the

8:10

order ended up being mostly

8:14

large, some extra

8:16

large. Let's see. Hold

8:19

on. I have it right here. Here we go.

8:21

I did mostly large, a lot of extra large, a handful of double

8:24

X. A

8:30

handful of medium and

8:33

a smaller handful of small. All

8:36

right. You're going to have to, I'm

8:39

just assuming at cheap heat, maybe this

8:41

is a bad assumption that most people

8:43

want. Let's hold on. Let's ask

8:45

Brian Waters. What size t-shirt are you getting?

8:47

You go to an event, you're buying merch.

8:49

What are you getting? I get

8:51

a large. Get a large. What

8:54

about you, Ben Cruz? You getting to

8:56

meet your medium guy or small? You can

8:58

be small. I used to

9:00

be a medium. I've recently upgraded to the

9:02

large. All right. Really? Good

9:04

girl. Ben Cruz. Good

9:07

for you. You guys will both be fine. Okay.

9:09

There will be plenty of large to go around.

9:11

And I, but I'm just saying if you were

9:13

of the small or medium variety, just

9:16

hustle. Okay. Because

9:19

otherwise it won't be available. I just think this was

9:21

the smartest play. Brian, don't you

9:23

think I'm right though in terms of playing percentages, you

9:25

got to go heavy. No, you

9:27

are right. You are right. You play and

9:29

then everything else is, it's just

9:32

hard because I don't want to get stuck with them

9:34

in my house. It depends how big these Xcels are.

9:36

I mean, are they, are they gargantuan? We're

9:39

talking wrestling fans. Um,

9:43

yeah, exactly. We're talking wrestling fans. Um, my,

9:45

I have an XL of the last cheap

9:47

each shirt. No, it's not gargantuan. It's a

9:49

nice, nice fitting XL,

9:51

but it's big. It's bigger

9:53

than a medium. And are these shirts like, what

9:55

kind of quality are these ones? Are they? The

9:58

same exact shirt as the last. last cheap

10:00

heat shirt. I

10:02

loved those shirts. Did you not, do you not remember the long

10:04

sleeve, the same brand

10:06

comfort colors, same brand, I like

10:08

comfort colors. Yeah. Same exact brand,

10:10

not doing a long sleeve, just

10:12

a short sleeve black. That's it.

10:15

But it's the same soft. It's what I

10:17

did my real late shirts on and the

10:19

last cheap heat shirts. So anyways,

10:22

uh, tickets, I mean, tickets are

10:24

going for going from moving well

10:26

to few left. Uh, I don't even know what to tell

10:28

you. We're going to, we're doing very well. It's going to

10:30

be a really, really good time. I I'm

10:33

trying to put all I'm trying to cross a lot

10:35

of T's and dot a lot of eyes. Not

10:38

shockingly, WrestleMania this year is going to

10:40

be, I mean, I

10:42

feel mania every year is a thing. Doesn't it feel

10:44

like this year dip? It's going to be bed, bath

10:46

and beyond. I do. I do feel

10:48

that it is a bed, bath and beyond type of year.

10:52

Um, the rocks involvement, the number, the

10:54

round number of 40. Oh,

10:57

don't the launch. It's a round,

10:59

very round number. I can't

11:02

wait. I'm counting down the minutes. The

11:05

second, when do you, when will you arrive in Philly?

11:07

Thursday morning, but I'm thinking about like

11:10

changing my flight and doing something with

11:12

that week. Oh, really? Coming into

11:14

the city, maybe coming to New York, little

11:17

East coast time. Yeah. Well,

11:19

I would love that. Um, I'll,

11:21

I'll have, you know, that Monday

11:23

11:25

you really want to make it a vacation week, what

11:29

11:31

on the mania file. Wait, it's on

11:33

the mania before the go home. Raw

11:35

11:37

can't do it. You can't do

11:39

Monday. You can't do Monday before. No,

11:43

I mean, what

11:46

is that week? And I don't even know what

11:48

we're talking about here. It's April 1st. April

11:50

1st is Monday, I believe. That

11:53

is raw. I'm

11:56

sensing mage is what I'm feeling. I'm feeling

11:59

and sensing mage. I

12:02

mean, I could come on Sunday, the 31st, a

12:06

time to be had for all. Anyways,

12:08

we'll see. It's going to be very, very exciting. I'm

12:12

very much looking forward to meeting everyone at the Heat and

12:14

Greet. And it's, it's

12:16

going to be a mage time to be had

12:18

by all. I officially am not eating starting, starting

12:21

now for the next three weeks. So

12:24

by the time you see me, I'll be a thin man

12:26

with glasses. That's the goal. Oh, and lastly, before we get

12:28

into the wrestling of it all, dip

12:31

had warned me about the glasses. Now,

12:34

when I went to this place, I

12:36

already had frames. I

12:39

did the appointment thing. I

12:41

got I got lenses and they were nice

12:43

enough to give me my first lenses for

12:45

free dip. They gave me these,

12:47

these lenses were free. That's how they get you.

12:49

That's how they get you. But that's, I did.

12:52

That's how they get you. So

12:54

I go back. And I'm

12:56

like, I need a lighter, I

12:58

need a lighter pair of everyday glasses. I need

13:00

like a some regular one because you bought big

13:03

metal things that are way your face down and

13:05

you better weigh my face down. I know, of

13:07

course. I know. And so I was

13:09

like, I need something I can just throw on in the

13:11

house all the time. So we start talking about them and,

13:14

and dip, she goes, Oh, these are the ones for you. And

13:17

he shows me a pair of Lindbergh glasses.

13:22

Beautiful glasses. Jay Lindbergh. I

13:25

don't know his first name Lindbergh. But

13:27

I put on his first initial is Jay.

13:29

I don't know the actual name. No,

13:31

it is Jay. Yeah. I

13:34

put on the Lindbergh glasses. I

13:36

take a picture. I send to Natalie. I

13:38

send her five pictures. She goes, the first

13:41

one is it. I love, love dip.

13:43

There's no glasses. There's

13:45

two, there's two pieces of glass.

13:49

There's two others. Things are tiny, thin

13:51

things on the side. And

13:56

that's it. There's no frame on top.

13:58

There's no nothing. And

14:01

I I

14:03

think that's the move for you. Okay,

14:05

well guess the glass guess the price $900

14:11

900 When

14:15

did I mean I remember going into glasses

14:18

stores as a kid looking

14:20

at an eyeglasses looking at sunglasses

14:22

Glasses were the highest and

14:24

maybe I'm wrong, but this is what I recall

14:27

in my brain The highest

14:29

end pair of glasses if you were spending

14:33

$300 for a pair of glass of frames.

14:35

It was like whoa, you know,

14:37

oh my god You're really splurging on these

14:39

frames then like seven

14:41

years ago Or

14:43

maybe ten years ago. They became I

14:47

don't know. I'm looking 550 You

14:50

know, you know, this is you know,

14:52

then the certain brands came out that were a little

14:54

bit more maybe 550 Now

14:57

you walk into these there's a thousand

14:59

dollars Thousand they said she said

15:01

with the discount. She was like, no, no, we're gonna give you a

15:03

discount So the frames I can give you

15:05

the frames for 600. Oh And

15:09

then she goes in the lenses. We want to do

15:11

a little she thinks with this particular one I should

15:13

do a slight like hue on the glass. Of course.

15:15

Yeah, she's right. Yes And so that should be the

15:17

s of the lens will be 300. So we're back

15:19

to the 900 for the glasses. Yeah, I Mean

15:24

these have got to be the cheapest things to

15:27

manufacture on the face of the earth best business

15:29

I wrote so my friend Corey Shapiro

15:31

who you met in Montreal who owns

15:33

vintage frames. I did meet him He

15:36

is bringing me a whole bunch of different ones. He

15:38

asked my prescription and like I'm giving you glasses You're

15:41

famous and rich. Why are you,

15:44

you know, why should you pay for things?

15:47

Right? Exactly. Yeah Yeah,

15:50

so he said he's bringing me glass but now I'm I but by

15:52

the way to your point though about that That's how they get you.

15:55

I do feel obligated to like buy at least

15:57

one pair from these people now I

16:00

gotta buy what it's gonna be. I mean

16:02

a fortune It's what and I

16:04

don't know I guess how many how many pairs do

16:07

you have I got ten pairs ten

16:09

pairs Ben? What about you are a Ben Cruz?

16:11

How many pairs of glasses? Yeah? I've

16:15

gone up recently to three I'm sorry How's

16:17

a house pair like you okay to switch out

16:19

when I want to change my face? Got

16:21

it when you want to change your face to go out in public

16:24

But the house pair you wear constantly and then the other ones if

insane the ultimate business to be in they're

16:56

making so much money off I just don't

16:58

understand I know that the acetate this this

17:00

one's made of platinum. This one's made of

17:02

gold This one's made of a rare mineral

17:04

you can only find in Papua, New Guinea

17:06

I don't know what the hell these things

17:08

are made up to me. They're all metal

17:10

or plastic I don't know what the hell

17:12

these different things are and it's a giant

17:14

racket. I mean, it's it's you know, this

17:16

one is a has a a

17:19

Swarovski crystal in the in the corner

17:21

of it. It's imported from you

17:24

know You

17:26

know who knows you know nonsense it's

17:29

ridiculous Brian

17:31

man did give me a great idea. Hmm

17:33

if I want to in the future start like

17:36

being a being a bit of a heel Good

17:39

to start asking wrestlers tough questions if they ever catch

17:41

an attitude hit them with that You wouldn't touch a

17:43

man with glasses. That's funny. All

17:45

of a sudden. I'm the man with glasses I

17:47

only got them five minutes ago But you immediately

17:50

can I can immediately identify myself as someone who's

17:52

who's frail and someone who's me you can't touch

17:54

it I'm impaired. I It

17:57

doesn't matter that 60% what what percentage?

18:00

I'm vision impaired. So

18:03

I may be using that at WrestleMania. We'll see. All

18:06

right. You want to do you want to read emails?

18:08

Do you want to you haven't got your thoughts off your chest? I

18:11

mean, what I mean most on your mind right now. I

18:14

have a lot on my mind. I

18:16

actually do. I'm somewhat caught

18:18

up. I

18:20

know what number one take is going to be, guys. He

18:23

is going to get on this show and go. The

18:25

greatest thing that happened in wrestling in the last two

18:27

weeks was that promo from Mercedes Monet

18:29

on Dynamite. I know I'm not even watch. I

18:32

can't even watch it. I can't even watch it.

18:35

I'll watch it over the weekend when I have more time to

18:37

concentrate on a W. I just I I

18:40

got to catch up last week of a W, but I

18:42

can't know you're not. I'm

18:44

not into it. I never have been ever. You're

18:48

not you're you're not going to be

18:50

into it. Oh, God. I know I'm

18:52

a little I'm a little confused as

18:54

to why they went promo

18:56

first night. It was such an odd

18:58

thing. They announced the Boston

19:00

show. They start

19:02

the show with her. And

19:05

she's on the mic. It was just like that is the

19:07

last way I would have done it. I mean, I would

19:10

have I would have made this a surprise dip. I

19:12

would have had her come out in Boston. I wouldn't

19:15

have announced it called a big business and done all

19:17

this stuff. I would have brought her out in the

19:19

last segment as a surprise. I would

19:21

have had her do something and then stand tall in

19:23

the ring. I would never have just been like, get

19:26

on the mic and go for 10 minutes. I

19:28

mean, not using your talent the right way. Anybody

19:31

can say can tell you that that's the

19:33

wrong thing to do. So I'm looking forward

19:35

to and not looking forward to seeing that

19:37

segment. I could

19:39

go segment by segment on raw. I just

19:41

like I just feel like, you know, every

19:45

time we think

19:47

that we like Drew McIntyre and

19:49

we're enjoying his weekly presentation, they

19:52

just give you too much of him. It's

19:54

like, how many times

19:56

can I hear the same thing come out of? McIntyre's

20:00

mouth. It's

20:02

too much. I don't know. Just something

20:04

about him just doesn't... He

20:07

looks great and whatever. Just something about

20:10

him just doesn't excite me. I

20:12

can't complain. I hear you. I hear you.

20:15

I don't... I wouldn't get rid of him completely,

20:18

but it's like... You wouldn't get rid of him

20:20

completely. Oh my God, it's a strong take. Like

20:22

if he went away, I would notice is what

20:24

I'm trying to say. But I'm not... How many

20:28

times can he like come out there

20:30

and just... I don't know. It's

20:32

feeling very repetitive. Okay.

20:37

Then you

20:40

know, Rhea Ripley,

20:45

someone needs to help. She is

20:47

amazing. I'm a big fan of Rhea Ripley. What's

20:49

the problem with Rhea now? She

20:51

just... She needs my help,

20:53

man. She just... She's so...

20:56

I mean, you could tell she just

20:58

rehearsed all... Or she memorized all those

21:00

lines and then couldn't remember them. And

21:02

she was pausing at kind of odd

21:04

moments in her monologues. And

21:07

I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just

21:10

saying on a list of things to

21:12

mention. Just let her go,

21:14

man. But on a list of

21:16

things to mention, it's number 30. I mean, how

21:18

could that make it for this week's conversation? I'll

21:21

tell you how it makes it because she's the biggest...

21:23

She's one of the biggest stars in the company.

21:28

And her mic work feels like

21:30

she's still doing NXT

21:32

promos. No, she's much,

21:34

much better, dude. I don't agree.

21:37

I dare you to go watch a

21:39

promo of hers from two years ago. You will

21:41

come back to me next week and apologize. You

21:43

will say she's a different human being. All right.

21:45

Maybe she's gotten better. I just don't... Maybe I'm

21:48

wrong, but... The average

21:50

NXT talent. She's not there for me on the

21:52

mic. Not there for me on

21:54

the mic. Everything else is perfect. I'm sorry. Hopefully

21:56

she'll work it out for you by mania. Maybe

21:58

she'll get in there. Maybe send her a... a

22:01

note and maybe she'll maybe she'll go from being

22:03

the number one talent to being the number one

22:05

with a ball. I just of all the things

22:07

to complain about. I just I

22:09

told you I was gonna go segment by segment. That's why

22:11

I'm doing it. I just feel like you have

22:15

the total package. She's an incredible and she'll

22:17

get better. I mean everyone. Michael Jordan developed

22:19

a fade away, but I'm

22:22

not arguing with you. I'm just

22:24

telling you. I'm a trustworthy

22:26

observer and I'm telling you she's she's

22:29

it's that's not great. Your

22:32

promo criticism is trustworthy

22:35

adjust because you're no

22:37

it's not. It's right. It is because you're

22:39

beyond critical. You treat them like they're acting

22:41

in a Hollywood movie. It's still pro wrestling

22:43

for God's sake. It's not Robert Downey Jr.

22:45

I mean I just

22:47

I'm not saying that you're I'm not saying that your

22:50

opinions are wrong. I'm saying

22:52

that the measure that

22:54

you're holding them to the standard that you're

22:57

holding them to the measuring stick is not

22:59

right. That's what I'm saying like

23:01

Ria's being anything not good on

23:03

the mic right now has not

23:05

crossed my mind at all. Okay.

23:07

And when you look at things

23:09

slightly differently, that's why we're on

23:11

a program together and you

23:13

have opinions. I know, but

23:15

like I can hear the collective groan

23:17

when it's like Ria's promo. I mean

23:19

you can hear the collective groan from

23:22

people who aren't paying attention to it, but

23:25

the people who are Dipperstein fans

23:27

who understand my way of thinking

23:30

and who who who who look at things

23:32

that see things the way I see them

23:35

are saying thank you Dipperstein. There's

23:37

not one person pointing out and nitpicking things that

23:39

need to be nitpicking. No, they may enjoy the

23:41

nitpicking. I don't know if we have one listener

23:43

who's going to say I have

23:45

been thinking the same thing about Ria. She

23:47

she could still be better. I doesn't

23:50

just go without saying she's 25 years

23:53

old. She's going to get better. She's

23:55

still at this point very very good.

23:58

She's good. She's good. She's not good on Mike but

24:00

she's really good she's good on the mic she's better

24:02

than 98% of the AW locker room on the

24:04

Mike She's not good on the mic. She

24:07

doesn't she doesn't flub She

24:09

she's not nervous. She doesn't like I

24:12

would say she's legitimately good on the

24:14

mic Maybe you don't think she's great.

24:16

She flubs and she's nervous I Don't

24:20

I don't see that man sorry okay, so who's

24:23

who's good on the mic in WWE real quick,

24:25

it's Heather Rollins I Think

24:29

Becky Lynch is way better on the mic than

24:31

her Okay

24:36

Roman Reigns is good on the mic Cody Rhodes

24:38

is good on the mic. I

24:40

mean You know

24:43

named you've named two of the top four people

24:45

in all of professional wrestling But yeah, I mean

24:47

go down the whole of the usos are are

24:49

amazing on the mic Sammy

24:52

Zane the usos are amazing

24:54

on the mic relative to you think amazing

24:58

The usos are yeah, they're I mean

25:00

I'm the best though, but they're I'm

25:03

not like oh like oh like are they gonna

25:05

remember what they're saying? No,

25:07

they they're good to go You

25:12

know they're they're almost 40 I mean I just thought

25:14

that's why I'm saying it's just not Everyone

25:16

you're naming has been at

25:19

the top for a long time. I think

25:21

Drew McIntyre Was really

25:23

bad and then evolved into something better

25:25

as well um

25:28

You know but

25:31

yeah, I It's like

25:33

you could watch that segment and you're like,

25:35

oh like She

25:37

could she could work on this Well,

25:41

I My guess is

25:43

she does work on it. My yeah, she is working

25:45

on it And if you were to go watch her

25:47

a year ago, you'll go. Oh my god Okay She's

25:49

worked but that's why I find it to be so

25:51

annoyingly nitpicky is like she's gotten so much better than

25:53

a year ago So much better than the year before

25:56

that and then it's like I mean she could be

25:58

better. I mean she is not There's

26:00

no problem. The idea of spending a month

26:02

Grayson Waller is a brand new wrestler This

26:04

guy can you could I could put a

26:06

mic in this guy Grayson Waller's hand and

26:08

listen to him for hours and just be like Oh my

26:10

god, like this guy you wouldn't pay money to see him

26:13

have a wrestling match yet That's

26:15

true So I mean everyone

26:17

has their thing But like I'm just saying

26:20

all I'm saying is just spend we've already

26:22

spent too much time Just by you you're

26:24

the one spending a lot because it's it's

26:26

flabbergasting to me to spend any time Being

26:29

like let's talk about the improvements Rhea needs

26:31

to make it just seems like we're focused

26:33

on the wrong To me that

26:35

we focus on the wrong energy. Okay, I'll

26:37

tell you who I'm I'll tell you who I'm

26:39

I'm super impressed by Tiffany Stratton all around I Think

26:44

I stratton Tiffany Stratton the person with the press

26:47

conference did the awkward me and threw her microphone

26:49

down at Rhea and walked off No,

26:51

I like her. I like her

26:53

too. But like it again different you're giving

26:55

a different measuring That's a different standard that

26:58

she's not she's not I mean

27:00

that Tiffany still has lots of work through I feel like

27:02

I Think Tiffany's

27:04

promos need a lot of work. I think Tiffany's character needs

27:06

a lot more depth. What is what is tiffy time? What

27:09

who is this Tiffany Stratton? I tell you right now. I'm

27:11

living on TV time Well,

27:13

I don't know about you. We're all living on

27:15

tiffy time. You live on Rosenberg time. Let's face

27:17

it I'm I'm you live on Rosenberg

27:20

time. I'm living on tiffy. I find myself often

27:22

during the week thinking it's tiffy time I'm living

27:24

on tiffy time I

27:27

think she has a lot of a lot of upside

27:29

by the way by the way I used to crit

27:31

as mine as right I used to criticize Bailey on

27:33

the mic a lot I think Bailey has I mean

27:35

they trust her more. She's gotten more comfortable Bailey

27:38

has far exceeded my expectations on what

27:41

she's capable of on the mic and

27:43

as a storyteller in general in Wrestling

27:46

I've done it. I was on a 180 on Bailey. I Mean

27:50

Bailey's 34 Belly's

27:52

awesome now big on Bailey She's

27:56

she's 34 years old. She has been she her

27:58

run On

28:00

the main roster in WWE is

28:03

like Hogan's first run. She's been

28:05

around forever. Yeah, I know All

28:11

right, so keep going okay You

28:18

know I Think I'm

28:20

not I'm not a hundred percent on the Logan

28:22

Paul Randy Orton thing yet I think the prime

28:24

thing in the in the ring is wild That

28:29

Is a wild situation what

28:31

a bag someone must have gotten on that one and oh

28:35

While It's

28:37

it's both wild and not wild it's

28:40

like it's crazy because it is never

28:42

been completely new We've never seen it.

28:44

Oh, you know what we did everywhere

28:46

everywhere, but here everywhere, but here yeah, and

28:48

that that that makes it interesting Yeah,

28:51

and and the bag I talked

28:54

about this on Tuesday The

28:56

bag it sort of covers

28:58

their paying Logan Paul Yeah,

29:01

I know right now like Logan Paul is

29:03

now paid for that. You know you're not paying him any

29:05

money anymore like Kind

29:09

of me, but like I'm not gonna

29:11

lie. I don't love it. It's not my

29:13

favorite thing ever that we're gonna have The

29:16

logo in the ring. I thought one of

29:18

those things I cry about It was a

29:20

really big deal here in New York last

29:22

year when the Yankees finally added a sponsor

29:24

to their Jersey and There's

29:27

two schools of thought they're the people like shut

29:29

up. You're ridiculous for being upset about it calm

29:31

down You're a nerd, and then there

29:34

are the people who are really upset about it I

29:36

land somewhere in the middle with these things I

29:38

don't think it's the end of the world But

29:41

I understand the people who are like I like

29:43

not having to have branding in the most pure

29:45

of places I do I do get that Yeah,

29:49

it is what it is. I'm not thinking about it too much I

29:53

Would say just looking at the

29:55

week. You know with as things are progressing I

29:57

think in my opinion now I feel about Austin Austin

30:01

Theory and Grayson Waller should start wearing

30:03

the same thing and become a legitimate,

30:05

like a more legitimate tag team, rather

30:07

than just very good friends and become

30:10

real contenders for the tag titles in the

30:13

tag division. As

30:16

opposed to just being two dudes who have a tag team

30:18

together? Who are jotting. Yeah. There

30:22

is such a tendency to take really cool people,

30:24

put them together. And then have them job? And

30:26

then have them job. Like these two people are

30:28

really cool. We put them together. This could be

30:30

something. Now they lose to everyone. Yeah, I don't.

30:33

You're right. It keeps happening over and over. Okay.

30:36

If they're good, like those guys, it should

30:38

be more like a one plus one equals

30:40

three situation. Yeah. You're right.

30:42

Where exactly is the relationship going with the two of

30:44

them? I know. It's been a

30:46

month now. I also

30:48

would love to see a little bit more depth in the

30:52

Santos Escobar Legado del

30:54

Fantasma storyline. I'd

30:56

like to see a little bit more depth to it. I

30:58

agree. I think all the L.W.O. stories have

31:01

locked depth, honestly. I need depth. You're

31:03

looking for depth. Oh, I'm one

31:06

of the biggest depth seekers in

31:08

today's wrestling business. And,

31:12

you know, I don't know. You

31:14

know, those are my thoughts these days. These

31:17

are the things that I'm thinking. Unfortunately, I don't

31:19

feel like they've built up. I

31:21

think I'm crazy. I don't think they built up

31:23

the Uso vs. Uso story enough. I

31:26

hear that actually. You know, they're kind of just hitting

31:28

us over the head with it now this week. I

31:31

don't think that's fair. I think this is one of

31:33

this could this is like Brett Owen level. If

31:35

you know if you really played your cards right.

31:37

And I don't think they have yet. And I

31:40

think there's time for it. Like I think there's

31:42

room. Maybe. Maybe. But

31:44

like there. No, I mean, week to week, there's room to do enough with it. But

31:46

it's not it's not really associated with the bloodline story.

31:49

And it should be. There's no reason

31:51

why it shouldn't be right there with

31:53

the rock. You know, how

31:56

do you do that, though? How do you have Jay involved

31:58

in that? It should've... They

32:03

shouldn't have separated them a year ago or

32:05

more. That was that, that was... I said that a

32:07

year ago. That was the biggest mistake. Why do they

32:09

need to be on different shows? Can't

32:11

they just be stars on the same show

32:13

and then eventually bring them back together? Now

32:15

you have the hottest storyline in years with

32:17

The Rock and the Bloodline and this and

32:19

that and they're jamming us with an unrelated

32:21

Jay and Jimmy Uso rivalry. It doesn't make

32:23

any sense. Yeah,

32:26

I hear that. It kind of popped up out of nowhere

32:28

as opposed to like you could have kind of gotten

32:30

there more organic. You put Jay right in that three, you

32:32

know, Jay should be right in

32:35

that ring with the rest of them. Why

32:37

is Jay not in the ring with the rest of them? He

32:40

belongs there. But it's a setup for a

32:42

tag match. Yeah, but Solo's not in the tag match. But

32:45

Solo's in the ring there and it feels like Solo's

32:47

part of the story. The Rock is making fun of

32:49

him, subtle jabs at him, which I think will eventually

32:51

come back around. Right. You

32:54

know? That's fair. It

32:56

should be that should

32:59

that match is not a throwaway match. And

33:01

I still want a step of some sort for that. Yes,

33:03

it needs to be in a cell or something. I

33:06

don't know why this has to be

33:08

separate. Why is this night different from all other nights?

33:10

Exactly. Big Passover point.

33:14

I think that's fair. I think that's a

33:16

fair. I think you brought fair points to the

33:18

table. I think Randy and Logan

33:20

will get there just fine. That's

33:23

not going to be. I'm not concerned about that

33:25

from a storyline standpoint. What do you do with

33:27

John Cena? Because that's apparently in

33:30

the works again. Is that what

33:32

people think from that he hinted that? Yeah.

33:36

How much did he hinted? By

33:38

the way, I watched Ricky Stinecki. I

33:41

watched Ricky Stinecki. There was not one hint

33:43

of it in the whole movie. I waited.

33:47

I don't know where you would put him because I thought Logan would

33:49

have been the place for that. Agreed.

33:53

Well, I

33:56

can tell you what we have right now. far

34:01

we know of seven matches

34:03

over two nights. What are they? Read them

34:05

out. We have the bloodline versus

34:07

Cody and Seth. Great. We have

34:10

this we have Seth versus Drew. We

34:12

have Roman versus Cody. Uh-huh.

34:17

We have EO versus Bailey. We

34:19

have Rhea versus Becky. We have

34:21

Gunther versus Sammy. Not and we

34:23

I mean that that is not working for me either.

34:25

I talked about it last

34:27

week but it's just not that's not something

34:29

I'm excited for. And we have the Judgment

34:32

Day versus five other

34:34

teams in a six-pack ladder match which will be

34:36

fun. I like that. Do they

34:38

use Sammy Zane as a throwaway to

34:40

get to Lesnar if he's

34:42

coming back on the roster? Yes, he's coming

34:44

back. Yeah. He's

34:47

coming back. Yeah. Where's

34:50

that being said? Everywhere. Everywhere.

34:53

All over the Internet. That's

34:56

being said all over the Internet. Yeah. So

34:59

you know. No.

35:04

I feel strongly. If they keep

35:06

Sammy Zane? Yes. I

35:08

do. I do. I wouldn't. Sammy's not getting buried

35:10

in that spot. Sammy's gonna win then. Well

35:14

if Sammy wins it'll be because I think someone else is

35:16

involved. He's not beating Gunther in the middle of the reign.

35:18

I'd be shocked by that. No, I know. I know. That's

35:20

why it's like ugh. It's

35:23

like then I don't know. I

35:25

don't know. It should be like Chad Gable

35:27

or it should be like someone

35:31

who you don't expect who's not doesn't feel

35:33

worthy. Sammy Zane I could see you know

35:35

he's been in this title

35:37

picture in the last year and a half or whatever.

35:39

He could be a guy that beats Gunther and

35:42

he doesn't feel like an underdog anymore and

35:44

I would like to see a guy that

35:46

feels like an underdog be the you know

35:49

get the big surprise win over Gunther or

35:51

have it be someone like Lesnar who is

35:53

like oh finally he's met his match. That's

35:55

what I'd like to see. Sammy Zane feels very in the

35:58

middle for me. Oh he's he was the

36:00

best mid-card guy that we could get to face

36:02

him. That's what it feels like. But you named

36:04

the two scenarios they're not going to do with

36:06

Gunther. They're not having him

36:08

lose in a shocking upset. And

36:11

they're not having... I know that, Peter, but I'm saying I

36:13

don't agree with the point in there. So then what's the

36:15

point of Chad Gable? I

36:18

think that people would love to see him

36:21

go to the next level, considering his...

36:24

And lose. No, I'd

36:26

like to see him win. But that

36:28

doesn't make sense. I mean, I think it would be fun. It would

36:30

be fun. But they're trying to

36:32

get Gunther now to be in the heavyweight picture.

36:35

They're not going to have him lose the IC title

36:37

because it's a hard fought battle against a

36:39

smaller underdog who beats him.

36:42

I'm not trying to poo-poo

36:44

your fun, but I just can't see that being where they

36:46

would go. Even if he wins.

36:48

I'm probably not wrong. I'm just making a point on

36:51

a podcast. This

36:53

is a discussion. Your point, it doesn't

36:55

make sense. They're not going to do that. That

36:57

would make no sense. You could say

36:59

it would be fun. So you like the Sami Zayn

37:01

of it all? Who cares about Sami Zayn right now?

37:03

Do you care about Sami Zayn right now? Do you

37:06

need to see him in Gunther at WrestleMania? No. Is

37:09

that something you're like, oh, I have to see this. There's

37:12

83 matches over the two days. I'm not going to feel that way

37:14

about some of the matches. Some of the matches are going to be

37:16

good. Gunther is one of the

37:18

biggest deals in wrestling right now. And the

37:21

match now at WrestleMania for

37:23

him doesn't feel mage. That's the point

37:25

I'm making. Let it feel mage in

37:27

some way. I think I think

37:29

there are a lot of people out there who will think

37:31

it feels mage. They think him having a match with Sami

37:33

Zayn because Sami Zayn is kind of a bar. You're like

37:35

MGT today. No, I'm not. I'm just

37:38

trying to argue. You made

37:41

two separate points. You did this again with the argument

37:44

about Darby a few weeks ago. You make

37:46

one point that makes sense, but then you

37:48

shrouded in other things that make no sense.

37:50

So your point that makes sense. Sami doesn't

37:52

feel that mage. It's not a big enough

37:55

deal for you. Fair. 100%

37:57

fair. moment

38:00

was one year ago. Agreed? He's

38:03

now in this like hovering mid-card

38:05

baby-face guy to come out of the

38:07

house show. All the kids cheer for

38:10

him. He's great, but there's no

38:12

there there at this moment. 100%. What

38:14

I was arguing back against was the other things

38:16

you presented, which are not options. That's all. It's

38:19

not going to be him getting like losing to, I

38:21

mean, Brock's not coming back at WrestleMania. There's no chance. It

38:23

was going to be Brock and Gunther at WrestleMania. That's

38:26

what it was supposed to be. Well, but I'm

38:28

saying that, but I'm saying Brock's not coming back. So that

38:30

story is not going to get told. The

38:33

idea of it being some big upset. It's

38:36

going to end up being that something. Brock's not

38:38

coming back. I

38:41

can't see it happening. Okay. It's March. It's

38:43

March 15th. They're going to squeeze him in

38:45

in the next three weeks. If

38:48

they're planning, if he's coming back, I'm sure they're planning on squeezing

38:50

him in. 52 minutes

38:54

ago, Brock Lesnar's WWE return

38:56

hits a roadblock according to reports. Okay.

39:00

Okay. WWE has

39:02

distanced itself from Brock Lesnar at the moment. And

39:05

as per some recent reports, there are no plans

39:07

for Lesnar's WWE in ring coming back anytime soon.

39:10

Okay. I'm reading the dirts like everyone else. And maybe

39:12

that's not, it's not happening. Okay. I'm not saying

39:15

it's good. By the way, I didn't know this. I didn't

39:17

know this until radiant now either. That was just my gut

39:19

telling me that I'm just reading it as you're, as

39:22

you're seeing it, but I'm not saying it's the right thing

39:24

to do, but I did read it in the dirts that

39:26

they are thinking about bringing him back. So let's just, let's

39:28

look at, let's look at the card with as, as what

39:30

we have, which is that's not

39:32

the case. Sammy,

39:34

could Chad Gable have been better?

39:37

I only think Chad Gable honestly would

39:39

have been better if he won. He's

39:41

already gone to the limit with Gunther

39:44

and loss. We had that moment. So

39:46

now if he does it again and they do

39:48

it at mania, he has to then win. Yeah.

39:50

I was just using him as an example. I

39:52

was just saying an underdog of some kind that

39:54

felt sort of more

39:57

eventy then, then

39:59

Sammy the moment. Sami feels like we don't know

40:01

who to put Gunther with so we'll put him with Sami

40:03

Zane. I thought it

40:07

should have been Judgment Day versus Imperium. Agreed.

40:09

That'd be great. I'd love to see that. For all

40:12

the titles. Awesome idea. And that

40:14

way Judgment Day could have cheated and

40:16

Gunther ends up losing his titles and can

40:19

be mad at Imperium because they cost him

40:21

his title and he didn't really lose

40:23

and he doesn't even take a pin. That

40:25

to me would be what you do with Gunther. Right?

40:29

Yeah. That I mean and

40:31

it looks big. Judgment Day and Imperium on a

40:34

poster together. Within the middle you have you

40:36

put you got to decide for Judgment Day maybe it's Priest I

40:38

don't know but you have Gunther in the middle for Imperium. I

40:41

think that's something. It is something.

40:44

I'd say maybe something plus. And

40:46

then you have all the titles in one match and

40:48

then Judgment Day walks away with the tag titles and

40:51

the by the way what a twist

40:54

that would be too because I think Becky ends up beating

40:56

Rhea at WrestleMania right? You do. If

40:58

Becky beats Rhea at WrestleMania and

41:01

the Judgment Day leaves the

41:03

match with Imperium in this made up match

41:06

with all the gold and

41:08

we get that reverse scenario. Yeah. We're now

41:10

there looking at Rhea like damn really. Come

41:12

on. Mommy we thought you were. I

41:15

think Mommy. I think Mommy beats the man.

41:19

You think Mommy beats the Manny? I do. I do. I

41:22

don't know. It feels like time to switch things up a little bit

41:24

to me. I agree but I

41:26

don't think it's that Manny. I

41:30

think they want Rhea Ripley winning at Manny. You

41:33

mean just based on how hot she is right now? Yeah.

41:36

But didn't they get to have the huge

41:38

moment of Rhea Ripley in Australia among

41:40

them? By the way I

41:43

don't remember like who wins these matches at these

41:45

big events anymore. I'm like I've lost that. You

41:47

know I only remember what happened when I was

41:50

a kid. Well then I know but you remember

41:52

that Rhea won in Australia because I was a

41:54

plate of gold. Greg is

41:56

amazing. Stack guy Greg is amazing at... I

42:00

know pulling up one from like three. Yeah, like

42:02

I can't remember And

42:05

I mean dude, I I

42:07

get amazed sometimes if you were to if you were to

42:10

By the way, I'm literally the person

42:13

going Coming up tonight

42:15

so-and-so versus so-and-so for the so-and-so and then

42:17

you asked me a month later What was

42:19

the magic? I have no idea what happened.

42:21

Yeah. Yeah, it's yeah Like

42:23

I can't remember the main event of like

42:25

WrestleMania 34, you know, I mean I can't

42:27

remember anything But I will I can tell

42:29

you that Rhea Ripley had her biggest moment

42:31

so far as a superstar Probably standing there

42:33

in the ring in Australia in front of

42:35

40,000 people. So if she were to lose

42:37

to the man At

42:39

40, I don't think that's a big

42:41

deal That's

42:43

just me. Um, so real quick. We've gotten a no

42:46

mailbag I

42:49

got to tell you man Two

42:52

things about will osprey No

42:54

number one what an absolute

42:56

coup for a W to sign him and

43:00

number two He

43:02

has to be I mean

43:04

just so at the top

43:06

of the list of people you have to one

43:08

day get if you're Triple H I

43:11

was I Had really never

43:13

up just honestly, I'd really never sat there and

43:15

watched a will osprey promo until this past week

43:17

I Missed

43:20

it. I haven't seen it yet. I mean he's

43:23

just so charming like he's just there's

43:25

never been a him Like

43:28

I think that all the complaints

43:30

that dip has about European superstars

43:32

and their accents are out

43:35

the window with bruv Because

43:38

the way they lean into

43:40

it dip it's it's it's different like His

43:44

his sort of you know

43:46

lower middle-class Street British

43:48

accent is so unique

43:50

for wrestling like we've never had

43:52

that specifically, right? He's

43:54

not generic European accent guy.

43:57

He's very much. I'm

43:59

the guy bruv And it's like

44:01

a whole thing. Like you get so

44:03

into it. The crowd chanting bruv. Yeah,

44:06

it is. I just, in a

44:08

time in which a month ago, I

44:11

just thought AEW was in the

44:13

absolute shitter. The

44:16

last three weeks have been a monster few

44:18

weeks for them. Talent wise. You

44:21

know, dip, we know not a big fan of Mercedes Monet. I,

44:23

I, I have, I have,

44:26

I love, I love Mercedes

44:30

in big matches. I think,

44:32

you know, sometimes make people make too

44:35

big a deal of everything. Cause

44:37

I think her promo game is still at this point. Like you've

44:40

got to put her with someone that makes her feel

44:42

as mages, her wrestling can feel, but

44:44

no matter how you view that she's

44:46

huge. Okay. Yeah. Her

44:49

Osprey and Okada in

44:52

a three week period. It's

44:55

something's going. I mean, yeah, something. It

44:57

was a, a needed moment.

44:59

It was a, it was a needed

45:01

moment. And I just sat there

45:03

watching Osprey going, man, what would it have been

45:06

like if he signed in WWE? Osprey

45:08

could be huge in WWE, dude. He

45:10

does not feel like, let

45:13

me say it like this with

45:15

all due respect to Kenny, like

45:17

I would love to see Kenny Omega in WWE. I

45:21

for years you guys have heard me touting Kenny Omega

45:23

as a talent, but Kenny feels

45:25

like a really huge indie

45:27

wrestler. Will

45:30

Osprey does not feel like a huge

45:32

indie wrestler. He feels like a frigging

45:34

superstar. Like he would in WWE, he

45:37

could have promos with the biggest they

45:39

have and matches with the biggest they

45:41

have. He could be the guy

45:43

bruv. Yeah. Just

45:46

a, just a, just a thought. And

45:49

a few years ago he would have been named. Will.

45:56

God damn it. He's a will. No,

45:59

Bill. He'd have to just be Bill. Gotta

46:02

make it different. I love Will Ospreay.

46:04

I am all in on him. He's

46:06

got it all. So no argument there for me.

46:09

Massive fan. It's Bill! It's

46:11

Bill! Bill is in

46:14

WWE! Bill. Pat

46:18

McAfee would be chiming in with witty

46:21

comments about things that Bill used to be doing

46:23

when he was running around England. I

46:25

know this Bill guy. No,

46:28

he's the man, dude. And

46:30

heel Okada? I mean,

46:32

dude, they've given you reasons to turn

46:35

on the television. I agree. The

46:38

show's been significantly improved in

46:40

the last couple months. I have to watch this

46:42

week's. And the fact that

46:44

they... I like that they're owning...

46:46

They have their own thing right now. It's not

46:48

trying to be WWE. Samoa

46:51

Joe's champ, Swerve Strickland's a thing. By the way,

46:53

Shouts to Swerve Strickland who's performing at Rolling Loud

46:55

this weekend. Is that LA this weekend, Dib?

46:58

I think so. You should

47:00

go see Swerve Strickland. You should check Swerve.

47:02

There was a point in my life when

47:05

I was... I would never... You were rolling and

47:07

rolling. I was rolling and rolling, you know? Real

47:12

quick, I'm gonna hit the

47:14

drop once. M-M-M-M-Mail.

47:19

Will Osprey come? I've been watching Will Osprey for quite a

47:21

while now and watched his matches with Ricochet in Japan. I

47:23

don't know why I didn't notice it then. But

47:26

I just realized who the best comparison is. He

47:30

is a peaking Kenny Omega. He's

47:32

one of the best wrestlers and high flyers in the business. I

47:35

mean, with all due respect to Maynard, I

47:37

love you Maynard, but that's almost like the obvious comp,

47:39

right? To

47:41

me, he's a more complete Kenny Omega.

47:45

Yeah. M-M-M-M-M-M-Mail. Rob

47:48

says, egg everything mania literally.

47:52

He said, in recent weeks, you've reaffirmed that the most

47:54

mage bagel is the egg everything, preferably with gobs of

47:56

cream cheese. Unfortunately, I have to say what needs to

47:58

be said. At least

48:00

in Los Angeles, the egg, everything bagel

48:03

is shockingly elusive. I've never

48:05

had an egg, everything. And over the last

48:07

year, my personal mania, my obsession has been

48:09

to finally nosh on the pinnacle of bagels

48:12

after going to countless bagel shops, only to

48:14

have my dream deferred this past weekend. I

48:16

decided enough was enough. I

48:18

threw on the newest cheap heat shirt and

48:21

made the pilgrimage to Hanks bagels. Dips

48:24

profess favorite place photo attach. Would

48:26

you believe it? They had egg.

48:29

They had everything but no egg,

48:31

everything. It's true. The

48:33

only saving grace is that when I told the

48:35

cashier how dip puts the shop over on the

48:37

pod, she threw in four free bagels. Now

48:40

we're having a conversation. Yeah. Can you please

48:43

have dip point me and other LA based

48:45

peckerheads in the right direction, like Cody Woads.

48:47

I have to finish my story. Rob

48:52

seems like a great guy. Yeah, a

48:54

great guy wearing our shirt to Hanks. I'm so disappointed

48:57

in Hanks dip. That's not what you want. No,

49:01

I know. I know. I think I'm going to have

49:03

a conversation with them tomorrow. I'm going to go over

49:05

there. I'm going to have a conversation with them about

49:07

making an egg, everything. By the

49:09

way, wait, they don't have they don't make one. No, not

49:12

only should they make one dip. It should be named.

49:14

It should be called like the chips. Yeah,

49:17

yeah, the cheap heat, the cheap heat. Oh,

49:21

the cheap heat. What

49:23

would be on that? And it

49:25

would be egg everything with locks. I

49:27

mean, you think a little crazy. Yeah, we'll

49:29

see. It depends if it's a dip. If

49:31

it's the dip sandwich, it's got fucking locks

49:34

and lettuce and get you up and mustard

49:36

and God knows what else you put on

49:38

there. It

49:40

would probably be an egg

49:43

everything bagel with a giant layer of

49:45

cream cheese. Then I sprinkle

49:47

the capers onto the cream cheese. Okay.

49:49

Well, then again, this is a dip

49:51

bagel. Well, I'm just saying you're not

49:53

going to be on the capers get

49:55

stuck in the cream cheese. They don't

49:57

they don't they don't roll. of

50:00

the locks. Could

50:03

we just agree on egg

50:06

everything, gobs of cream cheese, locks,

50:10

tomato, onion? No,

50:12

no, I can't have tomato and onion. You

50:16

don't have tomato and onion on the bagel? I

50:18

don't eat onion at all. And

50:20

you don't do tomato at all on bagels? No. I

50:23

think it ruins the whole texture of the bagel with

50:26

a tomato. I don't like tomato. I don't like

50:28

a raw tomato or a raw onion at all.

50:30

I mean, I've now in later in life, you

50:33

know, inched a little bit closer to eating

50:35

tomatoes in a regular way. But

50:37

no, I do not like tomato on

50:39

a sandwich or a bagel. I

50:42

like a tomato maybe

50:45

like cooked in a soup. That's

50:48

disgusting. But real quick,

50:51

I'll try the lettuce. Does

50:54

anyone ever look at you cross-eyed when you do lettuce though?

50:56

It's not, I've never known a human being who puts lettuce

50:58

on a bagel ever in my life. I've been putting lettuce

51:00

on a bagel my whole life. And

51:02

no one says you've never had someone go wow, lettuce on

51:04

a bagel? No. Do

51:07

you know other people who do this? How

51:09

he's not putting lettuce on a bagel? I don't know.

51:11

I don't know. I have

51:13

to ask him. By the way, he's coming here and I'm going

51:15

to have the entire family here staying here for a week. The

51:18

whole family staying at your house? Except the

51:20

baby. Yeah. Or the baby

51:22

has a hotel? Yes, the baby's staying at the

51:24

Four Seasons. All right,

51:26

guys, we love you all. [email protected]. We

51:29

will make sure next week is more

51:31

of an email intensive week, or of

51:33

course, the Discord. And like I said,

51:35

I strongly recommend the tickets as we

51:38

are closing in on a full sellout.

51:40

I have to get

51:42

Thompson, etc, etc. I'm going

51:44

to go with my therapist, stay major, everyone, and

51:46

enjoy yourself. Stay major. I

52:00

made it. Sweet

52:03

sweet Peter Rosenbren.

52:06

And then I went to the meeting at like, in the

52:08

middle of the year a little bit, and got my book

52:10

together. Also ladies and gentlemen, at this

52:12

time, I would like more produce... Shout

52:14

out to Guy Guy, you're right. Red

52:17

Heart is the greatest professional wrestler of

52:19

the history of the arts. My

52:21

moment, my pledge.
