3YPC-THE OFFSEASON Ep. 3.41 · 3 Yards Per Carry - Miami Dolphins

0:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the Offseason, a show covering the Miami Gulf, the NFL, pop culture, drinking culture and of course.
0:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I show you how you're your host, Alphar Tia, in myself.
0:19
[SPEAKER_01]: We're on, this is the Offseason with myself, Alphar Tiaica and my partner on the show,
0:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's rock and roll and that's just put one up against the wall, but the problem is that it was horrible ankle running So he's going to get the second there you go.
0:40
[SPEAKER_01]: He gets the second.
0:41
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go, sign action.
0:43
[SPEAKER_01]: So the meds lead off the the top of the night with a one to double right off of the wall.
0:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, he just missed that Two feet away from a finger
0:56
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, so yeah, so baseball isn't in full swing kind of fun.
1:02
[SPEAKER_01]: They've made so many good changes to that game.
1:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I really want baseball.
1:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I look, I'm a huge baseball fan.
1:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I played it in high school.
1:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I almost played professionally when people say, oh, what do you mean almost?
1:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I turned down a professional baseball job.
1:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
1:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I turned down rookie league ball with the St. Lucy Mets, which is weird because that's my favorite baseball team.
1:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I got offered my only job ever in sports in baseball as an assistant scout.
1:34
[SPEAKER_01]: So I love the sport.
1:36
[SPEAKER_01]: But there was a while there for a very long time where my God, you know, guy would get up there and time out, I gotta adjust my cup and time out, I gotta spit.
1:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And now the pitcher's like steps off the rubber because he has to adjust his cup and now he's spitting.
1:52
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're up there and a bat takes 18 minutes and I'm like, no, no, I can't watch this.
2:00
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not entertaining at all.
2:05
[SPEAKER_01]: And now this ABS system, this is the greatest thing ever invented.
2:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you've been watching baseball, I might be a blast.
2:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I've watched, oh, don't, I was down the line almost, I almost got, that was cut in there.
2:19
[SPEAKER_01]: That would have given us the lead.
2:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Loose Robert, by the way, I'm fired a start this season.
2:23
[SPEAKER_01]: He's up now, one, two count, no outs, top of the night.
2:26
[SPEAKER_01]: But everything that they've done,
2:29
[SPEAKER_01]: to fix, quote unquote, fix this sport.
2:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, it's worked out.
2:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I just wish that the NFL would adopt some of the same initiative to actually fix some of their issues and come up with creative ways, like they have in baseball because they've made an unwatchable sport.
2:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Immediately, watchable and entertaining.
2:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know your thoughts of all these different things that baseball has done, but I absolutely love it.
2:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I'll admit it when the pitch clock was first announced.
3:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't a fan of it because I thought, listen, my favorite team is the Cleveland Guardians.
3:06
[SPEAKER_00]: We're built on pitching every year.
3:08
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got stud pitchers left and right and I was like, oh man, this is going to mess up the pitching.
3:13
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
3:14
[SPEAKER_00]: My pitchers aren't going to be able to go through their routine.
3:17
[SPEAKER_00]: But they adjusted quickly, just like professional athletes do, there's role changes all the time.
3:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love it, games are shorter, they're more exciting, they're more action-packed.
3:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this, the WBC this year was great for the game, you know, the United States didn't win, but they made it all the way to the finals.
3:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Baseball is a fun sport that I came to appreciate as an adult.
3:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Wasn't a big fan of Baseball growing up as a kid in the 90s.
3:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Watch here and there, like watching the Braves, like watching Ken Griffey Jr., you know, that's
3:55
[SPEAKER_00]: but really became a lover of baseball in my mid-20s and here I am turning 40 years old in two months here and man, I love baseball season.
4:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't wait.
4:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that there's a game on almost every single day and you can kind of kick back with a beer and you don't have to be, you know,
4:16
[SPEAKER_00]: when i'm watching football i'm over here i'm looking at the offensive line i'm looking at the defensive line i'm like all right what what calls we have going here what's the what's the what's the sequence when i'm watching baseball i'm just having a good time it's like to me it's kind of like watching golf right where you can get really deep into the weeds with baseball
4:34
[SPEAKER_00]: And golf and things like that, or you can be a casual viewer and really just enjoy the experience and enjoy the atmosphere, nothing like a live baseball game, love going to see some live baseball, whether it's MLB or minor leagues, we have a pretty popular minor league team here in Davenport, Iowa that I go see from time to time, the Quad City River Bandits.
4:54
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a pretty cool team name too.
5:04
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, man, baseball season is here.
5:07
[SPEAKER_00]: It's in full swing just about a week now of Major League Baseball.
5:12
[SPEAKER_00]: So we've got months and months and months to go.
5:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's the perfect sport to get you through the months without NFL football, which we're right smack dab in the middle of that right now, Alph.
5:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it's true.
5:27
[SPEAKER_01]: You say, almost a game every day.
5:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I have wallpaper on my phone.
5:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Look how many games they're playing.
5:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at that.
5:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at that thing.
5:42
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the best, you know?
5:43
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, absolutely.
5:45
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a great sport.
5:47
[SPEAKER_01]: They've done a lot of good things to make it more watchable, make it a more of a TV sport.
5:53
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just to be something that you go and you watch live and it was fun to watch live.
5:58
[SPEAKER_01]: but as a TV sport, I think it's, and I think they've made great strides and look the numbers bear it out.
6:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if you look at the ratings nationally, like it's on the upswing, that's for sure.
6:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And wow, they have to avoid the work stopage, which is right now it's on the horizon.
6:22
[SPEAKER_00]: If they can avoid that work stopage,
6:25
[SPEAKER_00]: baseball is going to keep riding that momentum upwards.
6:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, but think about the era of baseball that we're in right now.
6:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I think show Hale Tani might be the best baseball player of all time.
6:38
[SPEAKER_00]: We're talking a hundred and twenty six years of major league baseball, you know,
6:43
[SPEAKER_00]: uh, uh, Mickey Mantle, uh, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, names like that.
6:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Show Hay with what he does not only as a hitter, but as a picture as well.
6:53
[SPEAKER_00]: He beat my Guardians last night, unfortunately, but uh, he might be the greatest professional baseball player of all time.
7:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And, and in my,
7:03
[SPEAKER_00]: opinion he is, but then you got guys like Aaron Judge, who's phenomenal, Juan Soto on your Metz is a fantastic baseball player.
7:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Jose Ramirez, third baseman for the Guardians, one of the most underrated players in the league.
7:15
[SPEAKER_00]: He's good for a 30, 30 season every year.
7:18
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a great era for Major League baseball and we as fans are benefiting from it.
7:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, moving back to the dolphins, I haven't been watching all the content that slides on my content.
7:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Lots of content, these owners' meetings.
7:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, by the way, Matt's got out of it.
7:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So they stranded a runner on third base.
7:42
[SPEAKER_01]: They had them on third after one out and they couldn't bring them in with the bottom of the order.
7:47
[SPEAKER_01]: So now we're going to the bottom of the ninth, one-one against the cardinals.
7:51
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see if we could hold here.
7:54
[SPEAKER_01]: as your head text raining so I'm giving you play by play as we're doing this show.
7:59
[SPEAKER_01]: So, but I don't even watch it on the content.
8:03
[SPEAKER_01]: It's posted a little bit more on on our discord, only friends, and interview that the genre itself and did Kevin Clark of ESPN.
8:14
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a lot of content, by the way.
8:15
[SPEAKER_01]: He's on with Florio, he's on with Chris Sims, he's on with
8:24
[SPEAKER_01]: We're getting some news, too, right?
8:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it feels like he's a straight shooter.
8:29
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't feel, you know, everyone says, oh, this is smoke screen season.
8:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not getting a sense that Sully is much of a smoke screen kind of guy.
8:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he tells you how it is.
8:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, although,
8:42
[SPEAKER_01]: kind of a passive aggressive move.
8:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember, he's the general manager.
8:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you saw what I posted on our Discord.
8:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Only Fenton, by the way, if you want to become a member of our Discord, if you're watching this show, it's right there right now is just flashing right in front of your face, right there, you see it?
8:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Discord.gg4ds-onlyfence, join on a desktop.
9:00
[SPEAKER_01]: It's only 4.99 a month, all access, avoid the Apple Uptranges, join on a desktop.
9:07
[SPEAKER_01]: He was asked.
9:09
[SPEAKER_01]: What is the greatest player you've ever scouted?
9:14
[SPEAKER_01]: And John Erick's Sullivan, I don't know if anybody's picked this up, but he mentioned Jamar Chase.
9:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder who had the opportunity to draft Jamar Chase and chose not to.
9:29
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know if John Erick's Sullivan knew that he was being passive aggressive by saying that.
9:37
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm here for it, every was, right?
9:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
9:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know, what did you make of all the content that he's providing us this week?
9:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Best of the time.
9:47
[SPEAKER_01]: He chained his ears here to stay.
9:48
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and I hope this doesn't happen to people out there because I've already told people, all right, guys?
9:54
[SPEAKER_01]: It's safe.
9:54
[SPEAKER_01]: You can buy the jerseys now.
9:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I had to buy an H-Changer Z. I'm like the, look, I'm the jerseys.
10:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you would call me the Jersey expert, but a lot of people call me unsolicited, just because I have this podcast because I have some connections and they ask me, I'm thinking about buying this Jersey.
10:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Should I buy it?
10:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it safe?
10:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it safe?
10:16
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, yeah, it's safe.
10:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
10:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll tell you one that I was told three years ago, I was asked by my daughter, in fact.
10:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to apologize to Von Holland jersey, as he's safe, and I'm like, yeah, he's safe.
10:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's safe.
10:32
[SPEAKER_01]: He's safe.
10:33
[SPEAKER_01]: A year later, I'm like, I don't know, if he can get some of that jersey now, it might be a good idea.
10:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
10:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I might be, yeah, another one that I thought was pretty safe was jail and water.
10:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it wasn't.
10:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I actually, I wasn't kidding.
10:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I bought my 10-year-old son, a Jailin model rival resjerzy, because Jailin model was his favorite player, and he was so excited at Christmas time, and then we get three months past Christmas, doesn't even play, you know, but one more game for the team, and now that jersey is worthless.
11:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so, uh, it looks like if you believe what John Erick Sullivan says.
11:15
[SPEAKER_01]: It's pretty safe to buy Advani Changer's thing.
11:18
[SPEAKER_01]: And to a lesser extent, Erom Brewer and Jordan Brooks, who he called pillars of this team, and he kind of revealed Jordan Brooks.
11:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, people have been calling about Jordan Brooks.
11:31
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, HN, a priority, he says, a priority to resign.
11:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So what did you make of that?
11:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Because, hey, that's pretty good.
11:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Not really.
11:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Not, not that for 135 pound scrapback, right, off?
11:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
11:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's gonna be a for a while.
11:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Go shit, no shade at Simon.
11:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, Devon HN is one of the best running backs in the NFL.
11:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Is he number one?
11:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably not.
11:59
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you're looking at guys like say, one barglie and Christian McAfrey, but is he just maybe half a tear below those guys?
12:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so, I think Devon HN and I wasn't a fan of the selection when he was drafted.
12:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I said the same thing.
12:14
[SPEAKER_00]: He's too undersized.
12:16
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to make a difference in the national football league.
12:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I was wrong.
12:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I was wrong.
12:21
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of us were wrong.
12:22
[SPEAKER_00]: He has been one of the most electric players, not just only on the dolphins, but in the entire league.
12:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And if Miami is making it a priority to resign him to a big money extension, I'm all for it.
12:34
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, this team while they're cash strapped right now in the cap situation doesn't look great.
12:41
[SPEAKER_00]: next off season twenty twenty seven they have what hundred and how much is a hundred fifty hundred sixty million in capital it's a little less than that and especially it's going to get dug into a little bit here come June but hundred and ten hundred and fifteen possibly it's a whole lot of money it's a whole lot of money that might be dolphins are
13:00
[SPEAKER_00]: are going to have it there to disposal.
13:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Why not use that money on someone who you know is going to and and I love this point from Sullivan earlier this week is going to touch the ball 30 times a game 25 30 times a game.
13:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Devon Hane is going to touch the ball whether through the ground game or through the passing game he is by far your number one weapon on offense right now.
13:25
[SPEAKER_00]: J.
13:25
[SPEAKER_00]: The Wattles gone, Malik Willis is going to be a stud at quarterback.
13:29
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be able to use his arm and his legs, but you need pieces around him and at this stage of his career, he's young.
13:40
[SPEAKER_00]: He's remained relatively, and I'm going to knock on wood right now as I say this.
13:46
[SPEAKER_00]: He's remained relatively injury-free past his rookie season.
13:51
[SPEAKER_00]: He dealt with a little bit
13:55
[SPEAKER_00]: but he's remained mostly durable since then.
13:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you continue on that path and he can be a featured member of the Miami Dolphins offensive weaponry, we're we're we're going to work on this offensive line.
14:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Sullivan is said that at Nazium this off season.
14:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And I believe him up into this point.
14:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Dolphins leaning into the ground game with HN with Willis with with Ollie Gordon
14:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Moving forward.
14:26
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to add a couple receivers in the draft.
14:28
[SPEAKER_00]: We know that may do a little trade for a play or like don't have you in wicks But their bread and butter is going to be I believe is going to be this ground game and why not lock in a chin for many years to come if if that is what you want your offensive identity to be and I believe they do so
14:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I'm really loving all the things coming out of coming out of Sully's mouth right now.
14:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, uh, I love his voice, too.
14:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I put this in the discord a few weeks back, but he sounds like an old, an old cowboy and an old western film, you know, and I mean, he's got that gravely voice.
15:04
[SPEAKER_00]: He believed him when he says something and, and you don't want to cross him in a dark alley late at night, even though he did, what did he say?
15:09
[SPEAKER_00]: He's five footy.
15:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, five footy.
15:12
[SPEAKER_00]: He has the swagger of a man, well over six feet tall out of care what his actual height is, but I'm loving it, man.
15:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I really, really think we have at the very least the right general manager in place right now and even with the trade of jail and water that I wasn't a big fan of when it happened, I'm starting to come around on it.
15:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I get his point right, you know, by the time the
15:39
[SPEAKER_00]: a position to compete while it would be nearing 30 years old he'd want an adjustment on his contract and if you're going to pay somebody like he said why not pay the guy that's going to touch the ball 30 times a game instead of the guy who's going to touch the ball seven times a game you know if everything goes well so i'm really liking what i see from solely right now and and i have a feeling you might feel the same health
16:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
16:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
16:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I like everything he's actually said this this this this week at the owner's meetings.
16:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I was also wondering yeah, he said it was five A. I didn't know that he was that short, but with Sully, Haffley and Malik Willis.
16:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I was saying on Discord, I believe we have the shortest head coach general manager quarterback combination in NFL history.
16:28
[SPEAKER_00]: It's got to be I'm looking up half least height right now.
16:31
[SPEAKER_01]: He's listed at five 10 is he five 10 because he seems short shorter than than John or Sullivan to me like he seems five eight to me.
16:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's probably He's probably getting the benefit.
16:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that's what they measured him at in cleat stirring is playing days.
16:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
16:50
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, you're probably looking at five eight five eight and then what's the leak will is six one.
16:55
[SPEAKER_01]: yeah a little under six one yeah so yeah it's a it's a it's a short group
17:01
[SPEAKER_01]: but hopefully a much more aggressive, a much more successful group.
17:07
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, let's got two outs here in the bottom of the knife, but the winning run is at second.
17:12
[SPEAKER_01]: So, but they got different Williams on the mountain, so we should be headed to extra innings.
17:16
[SPEAKER_01]: That's one thing I love about extra innings and baseball in the regular season.
17:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Run around second, yeah.
17:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Run around second, it's absolutely awesome.
17:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And when they announced it, I said, ah, that's push league, that's terrible.
17:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I watched it and I was like, no, that's the right call.
17:28
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't need to see any changes in in games.
17:30
[SPEAKER_00]: But my question for you off.
17:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Why receivers right dolphins don't have a whole lot of them right now Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, two to two at well It feels like they have a lot of number three guys even.
17:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not even going to go as far to say they got a lot of number two guys a lot of number three guys on this roster.
17:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I I don't think
17:52
[SPEAKER_00]: it would be a surprising.
17:53
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, I would be shocked if the dolphins don't leave this upcoming draft.
17:57
[SPEAKER_00]: They have 11 picks.
17:59
[SPEAKER_00]: If they don't leave this draft with at least two receivers, maybe three receivers, I'm not sold on the idea that they're going to take any of those receivers in the first round.
18:10
[SPEAKER_00]: That picks 11 picks 30.
18:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I think second round is a good bet, I think the third round where they have four picks isn't even better bet.
18:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Where do you see this team going shopping for wide receivers?
18:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And do you think they're going to follow that Green Bay Packers mold of getting those big body guys in here?
18:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody like a Ted Hearst or an Antonio Williams?
18:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I do believe a, I think that third round, like the the four picks and the third round.
18:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you could almost pencil in one of them for sure to be a pass catcher, likely a wide receiver.
18:52
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do believe that they are going to take a tight end.
18:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Another thing that John Erick Sullivan said that Kevin Clark is he was asked as there a player that is not being talked about.
19:01
[SPEAKER_01]: He was going to be a pretty good by way of living with him to struck him out with a sweeper, beautiful pitch.
19:07
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're out of the inning.
19:08
[SPEAKER_01]: We're headed to extra in these.
19:10
[SPEAKER_01]: They have pick.
19:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Here we go.
19:12
[SPEAKER_01]: 75 87 90 and 94.
19:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you can guarantee one of them is going to be a pass catcher and I think it'll be a wide receiver there.
19:20
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think this is a draft for they're going to leave the draft with at least two pass catchers.
19:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Why receiver and a tight end?
19:26
[SPEAKER_01]: And I would not be surprised if they leave the draft with two why receivers and a tight end, but I thought it was instructive that John Erick Sullivan volunteer to Kevin Clark, he was asked if there a player that nobody's been talking about, who could be a big contributor this coming season, and he said Greg Dolcech, so and he said it right away.
19:45
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think Greg Dolcech is a guy, don't sleep on him, fantasy guys like a weird fantasy player.
19:52
[SPEAKER_01]: He could get a big workload.
19:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Namely because there's nobody else to throw the ball to at this point.
19:58
[SPEAKER_01]: But after the draft, I do believe they'll take at least, let's say three pass catches, two is a lock, but three, I think three is a possibility.
20:08
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, we're gonna go to break and when we come back, we'll talk a little hockey and a little wrestling, but first, these words, and we're back.
20:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how much you've been watching,
20:20
[SPEAKER_01]: hockey, Merrick, but man, we're coming to the end of it.
20:24
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been a rough season.
20:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
20:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I've ever seen.
20:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Look, I, and I went through the 2023 dolphin season, so to use, so you saw those injuries.
20:36
[SPEAKER_01]: the Florida Panthers.
20:38
[SPEAKER_01]: First of all, they haven't had their lineup.
20:39
[SPEAKER_01]: The entire season.
20:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
20:41
[SPEAKER_01]: But once you take away bar cough, and let's just say, look, and look, we're making excuses for the guys that were injured, okay?
20:47
[SPEAKER_01]: But bar cough and cooler cough, let's just say the opening day roster.
20:55
[SPEAKER_01]: They had the opening day roster healthy for three games.
20:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you know what the record was for those three
21:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, there were three and all.
21:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Come game four, they're already missing players.
21:10
[SPEAKER_01]: And it has been a mess.
21:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think the only player that returned from injury and hasn't gotten injured is Matthew Kachuk.
21:18
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
21:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody else on this team has been injured.
21:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I won't time all the other.
21:23
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's just, it's a lost season.
21:27
[SPEAKER_01]: But,
21:28
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're watching tankathon, the two time defending champion Panthers, there won't be three time defending champion Panthers.
21:37
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, the next time we watch some play next season, they won't be defending champion anything's shit.
21:43
[SPEAKER_01]: We got caught in a rundown.
21:45
[SPEAKER_01]: One of my favorite plays in baseball is the rundown.
21:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they got us out.
21:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Unbelievable.
21:51
[SPEAKER_01]: We lost to runner on second base.
21:53
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a bummer.
21:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
21:55
[SPEAKER_01]: But,
21:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, uh, what the hell was I saying?
21:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, are you talking about how the Panthers are about to have them.
22:01
[SPEAKER_00]: So pretty nice draft pick here in the first round here.
22:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, if you're watching this, look, there's like, what is there?
22:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Seven games left.
22:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you want to lose the mall because you're starting to lock in that lottery pick.
22:15
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you get and I was watching some of the, you know, some of the, the hockey, you know, shouting shows.
22:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And believe me, they exist.
22:26
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not on ESPN or anything, but I've got to just gotta go online.
22:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Usually the origins of those shows are usually in Canada.
22:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Canada has all the shoudi hockey shows, okay?
22:39
[SPEAKER_01]: If you want shoudi football shows, I gotta just turn on ESPN or Fox Sports.
22:43
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you want shoudi hockey shows, you gotta go to YouTube to check that out.
22:48
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you're listening to those people, well, first of all, if they get the first overall pick, that's an elementary bet.
22:54
[SPEAKER_01]: They have like a top five pick.
22:56
[SPEAKER_01]: They're thinking, maybe we send that pick and something else to Ottawa and join the brothers could Chuck here in South Florida.
23:08
[SPEAKER_01]: That's pretty exciting.
23:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Now can you imagine how pissed off Maple Leaf fans are gonna be if the Panthers can turn this shit season into like Brady could Chuck?
23:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
23:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man.
23:20
[SPEAKER_00]: What shit dude.
23:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I hadn't heard that rumor, but you know, even as the new hockey fan that I am, I know Brady could chuck a fucking superstar.
23:30
[SPEAKER_00]: So you team those guys up in South Florida.
23:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, maybe they didn't win three in a row, but three out of four ain't bad.
23:37
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and and I think that they'll be right back at it.
23:39
[SPEAKER_01]: To be honest with you, they don't add anything.
23:41
[SPEAKER_01]: They'll be right back at it.
23:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
23:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
23:44
[SPEAKER_01]: The team's gonna be pretty good.
23:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, I'll take the blame for the for the downfall this year.
23:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I have cursed all of my favorite sports teams, no championships in my lifetime for any of them.
23:58
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't matter whether it's the Iowa Hawkeyes, even women's basketball.
24:03
[SPEAKER_00]: We can't let Clark couldn't get it done for us, man.
24:05
[SPEAKER_00]: If Caitlin Clark can't get it done, then and I'm really fucking these teams up, but
24:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Might be Dolphins Cleveland Guardians.
24:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a hot guys.
24:14
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I joined the Panthers bandwagon.
24:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I got to see him win the Stanley Cup last couple years this year.
24:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Not so much.
24:19
[SPEAKER_00]: This was the first year.
24:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I purchased the NHL Center Ice Package so I could watch all the games.
24:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, because I'm watching they have to shit the bed.
24:28
[SPEAKER_00]: But
24:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Not last night, not last night, 6-3 night over Ottawa last night.
24:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Pomo Reese called it a mental health win.
24:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, I'm fond of using that term, but whoa, we got to run her on third now, all of a sudden.
24:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope, that's from Cisco Alvarez.
24:47
[SPEAKER_01]: He can't, he can't get to third unless he's on a motorbike or something.
24:52
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's still at second.
24:54
[SPEAKER_01]: There's
24:58
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, let's get into some wrestle many matches like got signed and announced.
25:04
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, last time we did the show, we talked about prices going down and down,
25:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Not only did they do that, that 316 specialty, you're aware of what that was, right?
25:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, on www.com, for 316 day they had 31.6% off on all tickets for that one day.
25:30
[SPEAKER_01]: And they included both Russell many of days on there.
25:34
[SPEAKER_01]: So they pretty much sold out the event from there, but there's still some like stragglers left over.
25:42
[SPEAKER_01]: So what do you make of this they started like there's some other podcasts that that are going through the numbers they talked about the average ticket price at WrestleMania from for WrestleMania started off at $850 has moved down to $475 and is currently now at $310 so it's headed in the right direction I am not a believer in price gouging
26:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyone for anything, but in my business, professional wrestling fans, man.
26:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Traditionally, professional wrestling fans are in the highest earning tier of society.
26:26
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
26:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Professional wrestling has always been
26:30
[SPEAKER_00]: a source of entertainment for the work in man, you know, and I mean, this isn't, this isn't like the UFC where you get all these, these, these higher ups and these executives and these rich people coming to these shows, you know, you, you have some of that with professional wrestling, but it's not quite at the level of the UFC, but when TKO,
26:52
[SPEAKER_00]: But WWE, they wanted it to become UFC, but they didn't quite understand their fanbase.
27:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been in the professional wrestling business for almost 23 years now.
27:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I've got a pretty good grasp on what the average professional wrestling fan is like, and the average professional wrestling fan can not afford $800 for a ticket to one show.
27:16
[SPEAKER_00]: on top of flights, hotel, food, all of that stuff, right?
27:21
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, and you're not going to lock yourself.
27:22
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not going to lock yourself.
27:24
[SPEAKER_01]: First of all, you're forcing them to come to Las Vegas to go to Las Vegas.
27:28
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not going to lock yourself in a room in Las Vegas.
27:32
[SPEAKER_01]: First of all, you're going to go to a restaurant, okay?
27:36
[SPEAKER_01]: There are very, very few.
27:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Look, as somebody that loves Las Vegas,
27:43
[SPEAKER_01]: uh, economical dinner options or food options in in Las Vegas.
27:48
[SPEAKER_01]: They just don't exist.
27:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
27:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I got to hit up.
27:50
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to hit up the Del Taco on the strip somewhere instead of a yeah, or the in and out burger.
27:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, you go to in and out.
27:58
[SPEAKER_01]: You got to double there for like eight and nine, like, you know.
28:02
[SPEAKER_01]: So I guess that's your best bet.
28:04
[SPEAKER_01]: How many in and out burgers are you going to eat while you're in Las Vegas?
28:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
28:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
28:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Then you have the gambling, the drinking,
28:10
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an expensive town, it's just it is, and a lot of people, this is like they plan their vacations around events like this.
28:18
[SPEAKER_00]: They plan their vacation around WrestleMania.
28:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, we'll go for a week.
28:22
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not trying to go to the same place two years in a row.
28:25
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, unless you're a fan of gambling, there's all the things to do in Vegas.
28:29
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, it's when you're there for WrestleMania, it's WrestleMania and then gambling, right?
28:35
[SPEAKER_00]: If you don't like the gambling aspect of things, then then Vegas isn't your town.
28:39
[SPEAKER_00]: You got the same place two years in a row, you got the tickets costing an arm and a leg plus I mean I'll admit it the build to this year's WrestleMania has been
28:50
[SPEAKER_00]: somewhat uninspiring in a lot of different areas.
28:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know there were injuries that took place that caused some of that, but I do think that there's not a lot of matches with a whole lot of steam that were genuinely excited for.
29:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Punk in reigns will be good.
29:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Cody and Randy will be good.
29:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Oba Femi versus Brock Lesnar has probably had the best build out of all the matches I'm genuinely excited to see that.
29:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think my boy Seth Rollins and Gunther is going to be a good match But holy fuck did that come out of left field.
29:30
[SPEAKER_00]: There was no reason for that now build it over the next couple weeks and get you a little bit excited but
29:36
[SPEAKER_00]: There's not been that, that, that, that great build towards the event that gets people so excited that they're willing to drop hundreds and hundreds of dollars on tickets for one night or for two nights.
29:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So, uh, little underwhelming, but.
29:51
[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of where we're at right now.
29:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's a little bit of wrestling fatigue, too much wrestling all the time, every single night of the week.
30:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And sometimes you just, you can't watch for fat.
30:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been in this business for over two decades.
30:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't watch wrestling every single night.
30:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm trying to ask somebody who's a wrestling fan to give up every night of their week, to keep up with the product among multiple companies.
30:18
[SPEAKER_00]: That's hard to do.
30:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
30:21
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, it's, and again, like, like you said, it's, you know, it's not, you know, you're, you're, you're not going by yourself, right?
30:29
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going, right?
30:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Protecting your wife, taking a kid, you know, $850 times three, like Jesus.
30:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it's not going to get any easier next year.
30:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Because, you know, a Russell, when I saw this, I'm like, what?
30:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we'll see about that.
30:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, a Russell, maybe it is next year, right?
30:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, first of all, trying to get people to go over to Saudi is going to be,
30:49
[SPEAKER_01]: impossible.
30:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't I don't even know what the tourism's like in Saudi Arabia.
30:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never outside of wrestling.
30:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anyone in my life.
30:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Tell me, hey, I'm gonna go to Saudi Arabia for vacation.
31:01
[SPEAKER_00]: What the fuck do you do in Saudi Arabia?
31:04
[SPEAKER_00]: The camel ride?
31:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I genuinely don't know.
31:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I do not know.
31:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Dodge, you gotta dodge Iranian missiles or something like that.
31:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, at this point, at this point with everything that's going on right now, if this crisis continues over the next 365 days, I'm not sure you're gonna see a WrestleMania and Saudi Arabia, tell you the truth.
31:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, another thing, and we'll address what we're gonna get into this card, at least the confirm matches, I have a list here, other confirm matches, at least
31:36
[SPEAKER_01]: They have like, and it's, it's the series of money grabs that the WWE is engaged in that is kind of off putting like the meeting greet for Cody Rhodes $10,000 like really I love Cody wrote and in fact he's on the cover of cigar fixing out of magazine.
31:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't like, right behind me.
31:59
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a big cigar guy.
32:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
32:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I have the magazine behind me, I thought I had it right here, but I'll show it on the next show.
32:07
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, he's on the cover of cigar fixing out of a magazine.
32:10
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, he's he's a classy guy.
32:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'd love to meet him.
32:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I love to get an autograph.
32:16
[SPEAKER_01]: $10,000?
32:17
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
32:19
[SPEAKER_01]: I have no interest with whatever.
32:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I could go the rest of my days without never seeing code or meeting codey roads.
32:24
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's the series of maybe that's what they're planning for Saudi Arabia, maybe you get to fly a bomber mission or something over Iran, you know, you pay $10,000.
32:36
[SPEAKER_01]: you know you pay $10,000 right and you get tickets for day one I mean for day one and day two for night one and night two and you get to fly a bomber mission over a ran.
32:47
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
32:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I could see myself telling myself telling my wife like look when we got to say about money.
32:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Why I got to fly I got to fly I got to fly a bomber mission over a ran like the C-20 roads.
33:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is a bucket list item, you know what I mean?
33:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Like how I want to be the first kid in my block to say I bombed to ran.
33:11
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
33:13
[SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, let's get it to this card, all right?
33:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Because yeah, you said it's it's been unspiring the build.
33:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but you know, they're to the point where they're uh, there's a term in marketing called the Mickey Mouse Effect.
33:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I have you heard of it.
33:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Refresh me on that one.
33:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, it's called the Mickey Mouse Effect.
33:32
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, Matsai are dancing through the rain drops in this inning trying to get out of it and it looks like they might.
33:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, although there's a runner on third with two outs.
33:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's the bottom of the tent.
33:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, the Mickey Mouse effect in marketing is pretty simple.
33:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
33:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, the Mickey Mouse effect is is this is this.
33:53
[SPEAKER_01]: If you go to Disneyland or if you go to Disneyland world, it's one of the few places in the world are where you could say, I'm going to go see Mickey Mouse.
33:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And it has absolutely no bearing whatsoever.
34:02
[SPEAKER_01]: on where you're actually going but everybody knows if you said I'm going to go meet Mickey Mouse everybody in the world knows you're going to Disneyland Disney World right yeah the WWE has that effect nowadays if you say WrestleMania and you don't know a single match on the card you're going to go like you know it's a big deal you know it's the super bowl of professional wrestling
34:27
[SPEAKER_01]: and obviously you said the Super Bowl, that's another Mickey Mouse event, okay?
34:32
[SPEAKER_01]: So, if we're talking about Mickey Mouse events, like look, the world series, the NBA Finals, those are not Mickey Mouse events.
34:39
[SPEAKER_01]: If you have a bad matchup in the world series, you're not going to get a big number.
34:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope.
34:44
[SPEAKER_01]: If you have a bad matchup in the NBA Finals, you're not going to get a big number.
34:47
[SPEAKER_01]: If you have whoever in the Super Bowl, you're going to get a big number.
34:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it could be the fucking cardinals versus the bangles and people are watching.
34:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, but that's where that's where wrestling is, at least the WWE.
35:01
[SPEAKER_01]: That's where the WWE is with WrestleMania.
35:04
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe they don't care anymore.
35:07
[SPEAKER_01]: They know that the money's coming.
35:08
[SPEAKER_01]: So.
35:09
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't have to cater to the family anymore.
35:11
[SPEAKER_01]: But these are the matches that are confirmed.
35:14
[SPEAKER_01]: CM Punk, so a Roman Reigns, we already talked about that.
35:16
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the world heavyweight championship match.
35:19
[SPEAKER_01]: We talked about that last week.
35:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's going to be a good match.
35:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this one's going to be better.
35:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, a lot of chemistry between those two.
35:26
[SPEAKER_01]: And you could go either way, right?
35:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Because on that first match, I don't see how the hell Roman Reigns goes over.
35:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Unless it's going to be one long program, right?
35:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure, and I mean they they love Roman.
35:40
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'll never discount Roman winning any match You know what I mean?
35:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Because at any point you can put the belt on him and it's gonna mean a lot But it's the world heavyweight championship.
35:50
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the workhouse belt That's the belt that has to show up to every single paper.
35:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
35:54
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, yeah, and he's not that type of guy Yeah, so not gonna happen but Cody Rhodes orton you agree with me.
36:00
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the better match
36:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm genuinely excited for that.
36:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Randy Orton, somehow, even after, you know, two decade plus long career in WWE, WWE with the third most world championships of all time, he's still one of the more underrated performers in the history of professional wrestling.
36:21
[SPEAKER_00]: He is
36:23
[SPEAKER_00]: top notch, you know what I mean?
36:24
[SPEAKER_00]: If you throw him on the Mount Rushmore of in-bring workers, you're not going to get a lot of people that debate that.
36:31
[SPEAKER_00]: He is a phenomenal talent.
36:33
[SPEAKER_00]: He always has been and over the last decade or so.
36:37
[SPEAKER_00]: He's turned himself into a good person and somebody who's helping the younger generation.
36:43
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I've come to know Randy
36:45
[SPEAKER_00]: recently and he's been nothing but great to me and quite frankly his level is his head and shoulders above mine.
36:53
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't have to be a cool dude to me but he really is and so I'm a big fan of Randy Orton and I'll be pull him for him that night.
37:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think that's a great great match.
37:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Lesnar, Oberfemming, they did this this program this built was essentially one segment and it
37:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so I'm so excited for that one.
37:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's going to be a great one.
37:17
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's we kind of know what's going to happen.
37:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe we don't you know, I mean, because we kind of do know that this is it for listener.
37:25
[SPEAKER_01]: He is retiring at summer slam this year.
37:29
[SPEAKER_01]: It's in Minnesota.
37:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's his hometown.
37:32
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's like no chance in hell that he's going over right like.
37:37
[SPEAKER_01]: You or maybe he does and he does the honors on the way out in Somerslam.
37:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Not much right it's hard to predict what's going to happen with Brock Lesnar because he's so moody right he could show up at the day of WrestleMania being told he's going to lose weeks in advance and show up at WrestleMania and go hey guess what not losing.
37:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And they go, oh, but we'd really like it if you did.
38:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And he goes, yeah, but I'm not going to go out there if you want me to lose.
38:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're like, all right, guess you're winning, Brock, you know what I mean?
38:08
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's hard to predict, but I kind of like your second idea there, I'll, I kind of like the idea that Lesnar goes over at Mani and then Oba gets the rub at Somerslam and sends Lesnar out on his back, which is a tradition in professional wrestling.
38:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think that that would happen.
38:29
[SPEAKER_01]: I also love everybody's not doing all the
38:34
[SPEAKER_01]: The Ulogy's on his wrestling career and one of my favorite Brock Lesnar stories is how he's signed to the UFC.
38:43
[SPEAKER_01]: And he had tried out at the UFC and he had rolled with a couple of guys rolled means that they, you know, they wrestled on the mat, you know, some, you know, just, but they, they grappled on the mat and by the way, Metz did not.
39:00
[SPEAKER_01]: He's out,
39:03
[SPEAKER_01]: no-outs.
39:04
[SPEAKER_01]: So the mentor cooking here.
39:06
[SPEAKER_01]: And he grappled with a couple of guys who are like kind of high up, and Dana White was given reports of, and they're like, no, no, this guy is going to be a problem.
39:16
[SPEAKER_01]: And all the reports came back to Dana White, like, no, he is not only as he a problem, but he's going to be 265 pounds of a problem.
39:25
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be a heavyweight champion.
39:26
[SPEAKER_01]: And Dana White says, oh, really?
39:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to put him in against the best fighters in the world right
39:32
[SPEAKER_01]: and his first fight was against former World Champion Frank Meer and he was being the crap out of rap Frank Meer until Frank Meer got him in a hold and I think was a need lock and he submitted him but after that match Dana White looked on him like holy shit
39:49
[SPEAKER_00]: like wow we got something so the most legit guy in the history of pro wrestling I would agree yeah and he's so good at pro wrestling I don't think it's credit he deserves for all of the small little details right when Oba
40:05
[SPEAKER_00]: When Oba came out and they had their first segment together in Oba dominated Lesnar, the look on Lesnar's face, it just gave me goose bumps.
40:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I'm getting goose bumps now, just talking about it.
40:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, this is perfect.
40:19
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you look at Brock and you expect him to be a meathead, but he's fucking smart.
40:25
[SPEAKER_00]: He's so smart and he's so good at all the little things.
40:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Brock Lesnar is one of the greatest professional wrestlers.
40:33
[SPEAKER_00]: of all time and he's such an attraction.
40:36
[SPEAKER_00]: He's such a spectacle.
40:38
[SPEAKER_00]: He's quite literally the modern day Andre the Giant except he can fucking go.
40:44
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and he can give you a damn good match.
40:47
[SPEAKER_00]: When he wants to, if Brock doesn't want to work with you, he's not gonna work with you.
40:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't wrestle you, but he's not gonna work with you.
40:54
[SPEAKER_00]: It's gonna be Brock's match that you're having, whether you knew it or not when you get in the ring because you're not gonna make him do anything he doesn't wanna do.
41:03
[SPEAKER_00]: But when he wants to go, when he's ready to go, Brock's one of the best of all time.
41:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely, love Brock Lesnar.
41:12
[SPEAKER_01]: next match, Jade Cargill for the WWE Women's Championship, which one?
41:17
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't know.
41:18
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a thousand of them.
41:20
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's a strap.
41:21
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a strap involved here.
41:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Jade Cargill is the champ because real Ripley.
41:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And this, this matches featuring one of the weirdest promos ever, although I'm all for it, you know, and you can guess why.
41:34
[SPEAKER_01]: But they're going back and forth at each other
41:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Rita Rhea is saying that her muscles are more functional, and I'm like, I don't know Rhea, like you look great, but take Cargo's like, she's like carved out a stone, I wish I had Jade Cargo's physique, yeah, so I think Rhea is wrong here, but I don't know how good this match is going to be because
42:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Take Cargo's, that's not very good.
42:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she's, she's a little green.
42:06
[SPEAKER_00]: She has such good star presence.
42:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, she looks like I'm really in bucks.
42:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she just, she, if you reduce the amount of time she has to spend doing shit, right?
42:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Like a multi, multi person match.
42:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so in other words, she has to wrestle in a way where she doesn't wrestle.
42:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, all right, like she can look phenomenal, but as soon as you go in there and you tell them hey, we need 15 to 20 from you one on one You're playing with fire there.
42:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm hoping it goes well because I think if she's got her head screwed on straight and there's questions About that right now.
42:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she can be a phenomenal professional wrestler she has great aura as the kids like to like to say but
42:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess I'm mostly interested in that match to see if it turns into a shoot.
42:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see if these girls really start swinging on each other because the reports are that they don't like each other very well in real life and maybe a lot of the ladies locker room maybe they're not big fans of Jade Cargill if you believe some of the internet reporting.
43:15
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, next, as far as who goes over in that match, I have no idea.
43:21
[SPEAKER_01]: So that makes it a good match in my eyes.
43:24
[SPEAKER_01]: As far as the, you know, the result, you know, watching the result, I think it makes it much more interesting because I really have no idea who the hell is going to win that thing.
43:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Next match, do not let Booker T do this match no matter what he, what he did.
43:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Because it's Stephanie but care versus live Morgan for the title, another title.
43:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm interested in this match.
43:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Me too.
43:47
[SPEAKER_00]: That might be the best looking match on the entire card, if yes.
43:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
43:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you win the match?
43:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's over.
43:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, when the match is over and anybody asked me how did you see that spot on be like, what spot?
43:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Who won?
44:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you see the cat suit she was wearing on Monday night raw Stephanie was here?
44:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
44:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Holy shit.
44:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I might fiancee sitting on the couch with me watching this and she's on her phone playing a game and I'm like, babe, babe, you gotta look, you gotta look at this, look at this, you go online, find that, I need you to get that, I need you to be around that around the house.
44:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, somebody was telling me somebody was telling me, she's not very good on the mic and I'm like, she was actually speaking.
44:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, what were you watching, buddy?
44:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I remember her staying.
44:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Live is no slouchy.
44:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen her in person a few times.
44:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of these girls, when you see him in person, you're like, oh, no offense.
44:38
[SPEAKER_00]: The makeup's doing a little bit of the work here.
44:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Not her.
44:41
[SPEAKER_00]: You see her in person.
44:42
[SPEAKER_00]: You're just like, how do women look like this?
44:45
[SPEAKER_00]: It's beautiful.
44:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and live Morgan is like she's pretty legit because she's she's actually broken a bunch of shit in her body and she keeps coming back for more so you got to respect the girl right she's a jersey girl yeah you got to respect that your boy Seth Rollins versus Gunther
45:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna go on on a limb and say, Gunther's gonna go over because Gunther doesn't lose anybody ever.
45:10
[SPEAKER_01]: It seems like I could see that, you know.
45:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I could see that, I could see that.
45:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I could see that, I would expect it to be a dirty finish with the vision having something to do with it.
45:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause obviously you wanna come back around to that whenever one's healthy, right?
45:24
[SPEAKER_00]: You wanna see Seth versus Braun Braker and Bronson Reed and those guys, right?
45:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's kind of where the feud was supposed to go with these guys getting injured.
45:33
[SPEAKER_00]: So now you get a match that's like I said out of left field not a great amount of build so far right and only a couple weeks left to to get any heat on this thing it's going to be a great match both of those guys are great performers gumpers probably my favorite wrestler to watch right now just because he's so believable so realistic and and just cool right he just comes across as an ass kicker like genuinely
45:58
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it's going to be a phenomenal match.
46:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I would agree with the Alpha.
46:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I would probably put Gunther over, keep his momentum rolling, but I would have the vision have something to do with it.
46:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the only thing that I'm wondering is to what end, you know, like, how does this, how does this match fit in somehow, but they'll figure it out, like they always do, like somehow this, somehow this match will be consequent to it.
46:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I won't be a one-off or, you know, two months or now we're going to be like, oh, remember when Rawlins and Gunther were at Mania and nobody cares now, you know, I think I don't have something to do with something down the line, women's intercontinental championship
46:39
[SPEAKER_01]: AJ Lee, Becky Lens, they're doing this again.
46:42
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is usually where I think AJ Lee is probably, I don't know, are we in?
46:54
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, tag them out at home.
46:58
[SPEAKER_01]: So basically two outs, uh, we're in the 11th.
47:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And Marcus Semi is up to bat.
47:04
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a play.
47:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not just put one in the seat in the sit and call it a game.
47:09
[SPEAKER_00]: AJ Lee Becky Lynch.
47:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Funny enough.
47:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm guessing, I'm guessing that AJ Lee is probably going to go on another six month hiatus and Becky goes over again.
47:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that would be my guess too.
47:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have any inside info on that.
47:23
[SPEAKER_00]: But I did just hang up the Women's Intercontinental Championship in my Black and Brave Wrestling gym.
47:30
[SPEAKER_00]: We hang up all the belts that both Seth and Becky win on television.
47:34
[SPEAKER_00]: We put them in the rafters at the gym.
47:37
[SPEAKER_00]: It's our little Hall of Fame section there.
47:40
[SPEAKER_00]: So just got the Women's Intercontinental.
47:42
[SPEAKER_00]: frames put on the wall and and I think that'll be uh some serendipitous timing.
47:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think she will get that belt back here in a couple weeks.
47:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
47:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh next matches intercontinental championship.
47:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Penta who's a champ.
48:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm already not interested at all, and I don't mind if we just move on 5,000 people in one match, not for me.
48:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the limit should be 3, like in like a federal 3 way, like, you know, okay.
48:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Federal 4 way maybe, just put a ladder in there, make it a ladder match, then we'll get it.
48:28
[SPEAKER_01]: But 5 guys, like, no, come on.
48:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Next match, I got to kick out of these by way.
48:33
[SPEAKER_01]: This is another red wrestling trope of mine that I love.
48:40
[SPEAKER_01]: great matchup to great wrestlers, but the match is an unsanctioned match.
48:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, first of all, that's bullshit because it's on TV and you got it in and it WWE ring.
48:49
[SPEAKER_01]: So it is sanctioned.
48:51
[SPEAKER_01]: And trust me, when I tell you this match is in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Athletic Commission has to sign off on this match.
48:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so you're lying, Triple H. They should have done an unspeaks in match.
49:03
[SPEAKER_00]: They should have done WrestleMania 12, Roddy Piper versus Gold does backlock Brawl.
49:09
[SPEAKER_01]: That's an unsanctioned match, right?
49:11
[SPEAKER_01]: They find the parking lot.
49:13
[SPEAKER_01]: it was awesome to it worked it worked you know now that type of match you could you you couldn't do nowadays because of the undertone of that shit now the undertones of that match all right that was a that was a hate crime match yeah it was a hate which you know you're allowed to do hate crimes in wrestling you know yeah that's gonna take this mugger you know what I mean if you're allowed to commit felonies then you should be allowed to
49:41
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, do without the ensanction part, you know what I mean, but this is going to be an interesting match winner who cares.
49:48
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be a good one.
49:50
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be a good match moving on WWE women's tag team championship.
49:55
[SPEAKER_01]: The irresistible forces, hijacks and last legend versus Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Freyer versus the Bella twins versus Bailey and Lairo Volcaria.
50:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Another five, not interested.
50:06
[SPEAKER_01]: How many women is this?
50:08
[SPEAKER_01]: eight women in one ring.
50:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Good, good teams, by the way.
50:13
[SPEAKER_01]: But why not just get a championship match, and then have another match be the, you know, the, the winner gets them on, on Raw the next night.
50:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
50:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish I cared.
50:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't.
50:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
50:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Moving on.
50:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Finn Balor versus Dominic Mysterio.
50:28
[SPEAKER_01]: That's going to be really good.
50:28
[SPEAKER_00]: That should be fun.
50:29
[SPEAKER_00]: That should be a good one.
50:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
50:30
[SPEAKER_01]: That should be really, really good.
50:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's no way you could have Dominic Mysterio laying there.
50:36
[SPEAKER_01]: He cannot be left laying like he has to win.
50:38
[SPEAKER_01]: He has to go over Dominic Mysterio.
50:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Unless Ray Mysterio gets involved somehow.
50:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
50:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I don't know if you noticed, we're putting a lot of baby faces over.
50:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, somebody has to get some hatred on this show.
50:51
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Tommy knows.
50:52
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Tommy knows.
50:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Usually, the baby faces prevail at WrestleMania, everybody wants to leave feeling good.
50:58
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I don't, I'm not opposed to putting too many baby faces over.
51:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Next match, Sammy Zang champion, United States championship versus trick Williams.
51:07
[SPEAKER_01]: This is going to be an interesting match as well.
51:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Both guys super athletic.
51:10
[SPEAKER_01]: So, that should be a lot of fun.
51:12
[SPEAKER_00]: could be a fun one.
51:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
51:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking forward to it.
51:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Sammy Zane very underrated performer as well.
51:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I like him a lot.
51:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Now this is the one that's and this is the last one.
51:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, there's two more.
51:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Eosciverses, Jula, uh, who cares?
51:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Moving on.
51:31
[SPEAKER_01]: The Usos versus the vision Logan Paul and Austin theory.
51:35
[SPEAKER_00]: This is good shit here with eye show speed involved, which my boys are are super stoked about that.
51:41
[SPEAKER_00]: They love some eye show speed.
51:42
[SPEAKER_01]: So if there's a match that's like, you know, because you know, I told you, I want it back.
51:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I want tag team wrestling to actually matter again because it has not for a thousand years.
51:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I think these guys can make it matter again.
51:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Especially if you get the loosos back together, this is gonna be a lot of fun.
52:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I like this match.
52:00
[SPEAKER_00]: So I love the loosos as a team.
52:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the number one tag team of all time at this point is possible.
52:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's the number two.
52:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, Alph, bottom of the 11th, little blooper into right field three match diving for it.
52:16
[SPEAKER_01]: It falls in between all three of them runner scores, that sucks.
52:22
[SPEAKER_01]: So essentially, essentially, for Cisco Lindor in the sixth inning when he was bullshitting around and getting picked off at first base, and then the very next editor was Juan Soto who put one in the seats, that costume.
52:35
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
52:35
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the one right there.
52:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at your phone, look at that schedule.
52:40
[SPEAKER_00]: There's always tomorrow.
52:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, there's a bunch more of these games actually going every single day.
52:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're on a plane and they're headed to, where are they headed to now?
52:50
[SPEAKER_01]: San Francisco.
52:51
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're on a plane that San Francisco for a four games set.
52:56
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, we're going to call it right here.
52:57
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where I had my WrestleMania Moment of.
53:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I was on stage in WrestleMania in front of 80,000 people.
53:04
[SPEAKER_00]: It was one of the best days of my life.
53:05
[SPEAKER_00]: You were a Soviet soldier in my car.
53:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I was don't say it too loudly, but look I think like if we did top five Russell in fact Let's do that next week top five Russell many entrances of all time that easily top five right the only issue here I was so Rusev is built as Bulgarian Yeah, and we're coming in on a Soviet he's coming in on a Soviet tank
53:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, with a bunch of Soviet soldiers around.
53:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so we had Russian flags on our hats.
53:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was he revealing that he was a Russian sympathizer?
53:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, God.
53:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Lana was Russian, so maybe she was the one who hired the military.
53:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but if he's Bulgarian, he should hate the Soviets.
53:53
[SPEAKER_01]: No?
53:55
[SPEAKER_00]: it's rest maybe.
53:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
53:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
53:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
53:59
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
53:59
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll do that next week.
54:01
[SPEAKER_01]: 5 best WrestleMania entrances.
54:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I think Undertaker's obviously going to be in there.
54:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Triple H has to be in there.
54:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
54:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
54:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Shawn Michaels, maybe.
54:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Shawn Michaels positive blind.
54:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I like this blind.
54:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Those work.
54:19
[SPEAKER_01]: But we're not going to do surprise entrances.
54:21
[SPEAKER_01]: We're just going to do straight up build entrances.
54:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Alright, but that's it.
54:26
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll talk about that next week.
54:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Peace.
