How are we feeling 00:00:53.219 --> 00:00:55.899 now the last few weeks? I have gone over some 00:00:55.899 --> 00:00:58.460 of the sports card stuff I know top series 2 00:00:58.460 --> 00:01:00.859 is out. I've talked about that before football is 00:01:00.859 --> 00:01:02.479 everywhere. It seems like there's one product 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:04.840 after another being released That's all well 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.299 and good, but there are some big things coming 00:01:07.299 --> 00:01:11.099 in the non sports card Industry that is led by 00:01:11.099 --> 00:01:15.060 none other than the 2025 Marvel chrome release 00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:18.239 This is coming up soon. A ton of people are super 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.299 excited about it. It's pretty pricey pre -orders 00:01:21.299 --> 00:01:24.780 sold out relatively quickly I know you can still 00:01:24.780 --> 00:01:28.540 dive into hobby boxes and such on the secondary 00:01:28.540 --> 00:01:31.700 markets through Dave and Adams, blowout cards, 00:01:31.700 --> 00:01:34.859 Etc. Etc. The last time I looked these prices 00:01:34.859 --> 00:01:39.400 were out of control. They were upwards of 450 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.140 475 for a hobby box so people are going crazy 00:01:43.140 --> 00:01:47.340 over Tops Marvel Chrome and they should be because 00:01:47.340 --> 00:01:51.579 it looks really cool 200 card base set I probably 00:01:51.579 --> 00:01:54.159 wouldn't be able to come up with 20 25 characters, 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.959 but That's okay. I still think these cards are 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.099 really sweet. I think the artwork looks great. 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:05.040 I think This is a really cool product and congrats 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.900 to all those who got in on the pre -sale. I'm 00:02:07.900 --> 00:02:10.099 super excited to see some videos and see some 00:02:10.099 --> 00:02:14.620 breaks of this stuff in the next week or so and 00:02:14.620 --> 00:02:16.780 hopefully you all get some really cool stuff. 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.759 Another product I'm super excited about. When 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.580 I got back into the hobby, I had forgotten about 00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:25.159 some of the really cool off -the -wall sets that 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.840 were available when I was a kid and so I rediscovered 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.449 Garbage Pail Kids. Now These cards are not for 00:02:32.449 --> 00:02:34.289 the faint of heart of course if you know what 00:02:34.289 --> 00:02:36.430 garbage pail kids are yeah They're not for everybody 00:02:36.430 --> 00:02:40.530 but again if you are a fan of just crazy artwork 00:02:40.530 --> 00:02:44.719 these cards are awesome I love the play on words. 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.020 I love how they take different genres and combine 00:02:48.020 --> 00:02:50.259 them all together. Some of the favorite ones 00:02:50.259 --> 00:02:53.039 that I've collected, and I'll go buy singles 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.139 on eBay, but I love how they take garbage pail 00:02:56.139 --> 00:02:59.599 kids and they mash them together with MLB players. 00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:02.659 Some of my favorite cards that I have in like 00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:05.960 the one one -touch magnet holders are my garbage 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.020 pail kids merged with MLB superstars. They're 00:03:09.020 --> 00:03:12.599 awesome looking and I'm super excited for a product 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.580 that is coming out soon. I did miss the pre -order, 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.439 but it's 2025 worst of garbage pail kids 40th 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.180 anniversary. Now this product has some hype behind 00:03:22.180 --> 00:03:25.419 it because it sold out super quick. Even on David 00:03:25.419 --> 00:03:27.680 Adams and blowout, you can't buy the pre -order 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.740 there either. So I think they did a good job 00:03:31.740 --> 00:03:35.080 with production runs. to keep some hype on this 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.360 product. And yeah, super excited. That's one 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.719 of the things I want to go back and try to piece 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.340 together is some of the older garbage pail kit 00:03:43.340 --> 00:03:46.479 sets. Now, if you look historically, some of 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.800 this stuff is crazy expensive. I mean, it's crazy 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.199 expensive. Now, within the last few years, the 00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.340 product is relatively cheap and you can get back 00:03:53.340 --> 00:03:57.240 into it for pretty reasonable. investment. Some 00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.979 of the sites have hobby boxes for as low as like, 00:03:59.979 --> 00:04:02.539 I don't know, 35, 40 bucks, which hey, whatever, 00:04:02.659 --> 00:04:04.099 if that's something you like. And like I said, 00:04:04.219 --> 00:04:06.639 I love the artwork on this. It's funny. It's 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.819 a good fun rip to kind of put a collection together. 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.139 But if you are a fan of good, cheap rips, which 00:04:14.139 --> 00:04:17.029 you know, Go back to my YouTube channel. That's 00:04:17.029 --> 00:04:19.490 one thing I really tried to focus on was a cheap 00:04:19.490 --> 00:04:23.189 rip that you could dive into a product or Something 00:04:23.189 --> 00:04:25.189 that you you really like and this is a great 00:04:25.189 --> 00:04:28.709 place to start. So garbage pail kids 40th anniversary 00:04:28.709 --> 00:04:32.149 If you also go to the top site, which side note, 00:04:32.189 --> 00:04:35.550 can we talk about? Some of these card sites tops 00:04:35.550 --> 00:04:39.519 the tops website is is anyone else having? difficulty 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.959 navigating this thing i feel like i can never 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.459 find what i'm looking for i feel like they are 00:04:45.459 --> 00:04:49.180 so reluctant to share information on upcoming 00:04:49.180 --> 00:04:52.060 releases or whatever the case may be but it's 00:04:52.060 --> 00:04:55.120 next to impossible to find anything i feel like 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.399 the main thing they're pushing is this tops now 00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.420 stuff which we're going to talk about in a future 00:05:00.420 --> 00:05:03.899 episode but If you can somehow manage to navigate 00:05:03.899 --> 00:05:06.639 your way to their Garbage Pail Kids site, they 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:11.019 do currently offer what is called the 2025 Tops 00:05:11.019 --> 00:05:14.439 Garbage Pail Kids Inter -Goolactic Mayhem and 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.819 they are releasing different waves. Now I've 00:05:16.819 --> 00:05:19.899 already missed waves one and two and so what 00:05:19.899 --> 00:05:24.139 this is is for the cost of 20 bucks you are shipped 00:05:24.139 --> 00:05:28.209 a new set every week for six weeks, I believe. 00:05:28.370 --> 00:05:32.170 Let me be clear, each set cost you $19 .99 and 00:05:32.170 --> 00:05:37.050 you get 11 cards. So 10 base cards and one wrapper 00:05:37.050 --> 00:05:40.649 or one gold foil wrapper, which is a numbered 00:05:40.649 --> 00:05:43.790 card to 25. Now some of the artwork, like I said, 00:05:43.790 --> 00:05:46.550 is really cool and it plays off the theme of 00:05:46.550 --> 00:05:49.649 inter -goolactic mayhem. They're already on wave 00:05:49.649 --> 00:05:52.430 three and we'll see how long this goes. I know 00:05:52.430 --> 00:05:55.439 they're doing six different waves. But I wonder 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:59.220 how successful these weekly releases are as far 00:05:59.220 --> 00:06:02.250 as the garbage pail kids are concerned. So what 00:06:02.250 --> 00:06:04.329 else do we want to talk about? Well, this is 00:06:04.329 --> 00:06:07.930 the season for the big card shows. Now, if you 00:06:07.930 --> 00:06:10.170 have ever gone to one of these, these can be 00:06:10.170 --> 00:06:13.269 a huge deal. And it appears to me that over the 00:06:13.269 --> 00:06:15.589 years, these just continue to grow and grow. 00:06:15.910 --> 00:06:19.009 And it's no secret that the hobby is getting 00:06:19.009 --> 00:06:21.370 more and more eyes on it and becoming more and 00:06:21.370 --> 00:06:24.509 more popular. So what's on the horizon? And that 00:06:24.509 --> 00:06:28.329 is none other than Fanatics Fest. Now, Fanatics 00:06:28.329 --> 00:06:32.040 Fest looks pretty... Stacked. Pretty stacked. 00:06:32.459 --> 00:06:34.740 They had Fanatics Fest last year. I believe it 00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:38.600 was the debut of the New York City Fanatics Fest. 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.800 It was stocked. Stocked with celebrities, athletes, 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:45.600 all kinds of talent, all kinds of people from 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:47.699 different walks of life across entertainment 00:06:47.699 --> 00:06:51.079 and sports. The amount of videos and interviews 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:52.959 and things that were coming out from Fanatics 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:56.819 Fest last year was crazy. So. If you're in the 00:06:56.819 --> 00:06:58.939 area, if you're in New York City and you can 00:06:58.939 --> 00:07:01.579 get to Fanatics Fest, I think it would be sick. 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:03.660 The problem is, if you're not in New York City, 00:07:03.899 --> 00:07:06.899 it's never easy to get to New York City, and 00:07:06.899 --> 00:07:09.300 that's the one downfall with Fanatics Fest. Not 00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:12.180 only that, but it is freaking expensive. Now, 00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:16.139 I don't know whether anyone has tried to piecemeal 00:07:16.139 --> 00:07:18.860 the prices together or has looked at the roster 00:07:18.860 --> 00:07:21.680 and who's expected to be there, but there is 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.560 a ton of people that is gonna... be at Fanatics 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.199 Fest, which starts June 20th, runs over the weekend. 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.220 It's really a who's who. I mean, WWE has a huge 00:07:32.220 --> 00:07:35.139 presence there. It's gonna be insane. But the 00:07:35.139 --> 00:07:37.939 cost and the location doesn't make it easy for 00:07:37.939 --> 00:07:40.420 everyone to take part. Hopefully someday, hopefully 00:07:40.420 --> 00:07:42.709 next year I can get there. because I think it 00:07:42.709 --> 00:07:45.129 would be a really good time. But you have everybody 00:07:45.129 --> 00:07:47.810 there from baseball to football to basketball. 00:07:47.990 --> 00:07:50.689 The WWE is huge. You have people from the UFC, 00:07:51.269 --> 00:07:54.730 hockey players, WNBA, you have race car drivers, 00:07:55.209 --> 00:07:57.829 soccer players, various celebrities, artists, 00:07:58.170 --> 00:08:00.730 media personalities. I mean, they took the national, 00:08:00.870 --> 00:08:03.610 which historically has been the biggest car show, 00:08:03.829 --> 00:08:08.009 and they cranked it up to like 100 and they added 00:08:08.009 --> 00:08:11.500 in all this extra stuff. So it's not necessarily 00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:15.699 a card focused event, more of a, hey, let's do 00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:17.680 this from the fan's perspective. What would the 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.819 fan want to see? What would the fan want to encounter? 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:23.620 I mean, there's literally celebrities and athletes 00:08:23.620 --> 00:08:26.100 all over the place. So it's a lot different than 00:08:26.100 --> 00:08:27.740 the national, and we'll get to the national in 00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:29.759 a minute, but it's a crazy time. It looks awesome. 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.720 But as I said, location and price, it's crazy. 00:08:32.940 --> 00:08:36.440 I was looking through the list of people. who 00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:38.980 are going to be there signing autographs and 00:08:38.980 --> 00:08:41.539 being available for photo ops. Have you guys 00:08:41.539 --> 00:08:45.519 seen this? It's nuts how expensive this stuff 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.100 can get. So not only do you have to pay a ticket 00:08:48.100 --> 00:08:51.820 to get in, which is fine, but you're paying a 00:08:51.820 --> 00:08:55.659 price for a photo op or you're paying a price 00:08:55.659 --> 00:08:58.519 and different levels of pricing based on the 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:02.190 autograph or item that you are. Asking for the 00:09:02.190 --> 00:09:05.870 artist or athlete to sign like I said WWE is 00:09:05.870 --> 00:09:10.009 huge there. There's probably 20 different WWE 00:09:10.009 --> 00:09:13.629 guys I mean some of your newer ones Penta and 00:09:13.629 --> 00:09:15.549 I know Alexa Bliss just came back, but she's 00:09:15.549 --> 00:09:17.389 gonna be there You got some of your old guys 00:09:17.389 --> 00:09:20.289 Ray Mysterio Randy Orton, of course Seth Rollins 00:09:20.289 --> 00:09:23.309 is there Dominic Mysterio John Cena. I looked 00:09:23.309 --> 00:09:25.940 at the John Cena prices A photo with John Cena 00:09:25.940 --> 00:09:30.039 is going to cost you $325. Now, if you want him 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:32.919 to autograph something for you, it's another 00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:35.860 $300. So your interaction with John Cena for 00:09:35.860 --> 00:09:37.559 a photo and an autograph is going to cost you 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.200 $650. $650. How are we feeling about that, to 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:41.679 get a photo with John Cena? Now, some of the 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.000 other ones I thought were, eh, they're not terribly 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.539 crazy. Like CM Punk's going to be there. His 00:09:47.539 --> 00:09:50.980 photo is going to cost you $195. And an autograph 00:09:50.980 --> 00:09:54.360 with him is going to cost you $195, so $400. 00:09:54.590 --> 00:09:56.889 for a photo and auto of CM Punk. How do we feel 00:09:56.889 --> 00:10:00.210 about that? But then it just keeps going up and 00:10:00.210 --> 00:10:03.110 up and up. And some of the prices on these guys 00:10:03.110 --> 00:10:06.370 is insane. Albert Pujols, great baseball player. 00:10:06.629 --> 00:10:08.950 We're talking one of the greatest power hitters 00:10:08.950 --> 00:10:12.389 of all time, Albert Pujols.

If 00:10:28.529 --> 00:10:31.629 you want a premium autograph, an ultra premium 00:10:31.629 --> 00:10:34.389 autograph in which he references something to 00:10:34.389 --> 00:10:37.590 a 500 home run, a 600 home run, a 700 home run, 00:10:37.730 --> 00:10:41.429 or being a member of the 3000 Hit Club, it's 00:10:41.429 --> 00:10:47.070 gonna run you $650. That's crazy. $651 now, I 00:10:47.070 --> 00:10:49.350 know he's I know he's a great player historically 00:10:49.350 --> 00:10:52.470 Hall of Famer this and that but holy cow That 00:10:52.470 --> 00:10:54.549 seems a little little steep, but it doesn't stop 00:10:54.549 --> 00:10:57.049 there Let's look at some of the other names that 00:10:57.049 --> 00:11:00.070 are available Eli Manning now I'm not a Giants 00:11:00.070 --> 00:11:03.210 fan but the fact that Eli was able to beat the 00:11:03.210 --> 00:11:07.210 fake TB Tom Brady and the New England Patriots 00:11:07.210 --> 00:11:09.610 in the Super Bowl as far as I'm concerned Eli 00:11:09.610 --> 00:11:12.870 Manning is up there on a pedestal now you want 00:11:12.870 --> 00:11:16.259 a photo with Eli 195 Okay, not terrible, it falls 00:11:16.259 --> 00:11:17.820 in line with some of the other guys. Premium 00:11:17.820 --> 00:11:20.820 autograph, 282 for premium autograph. Now, if 00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:24.100 you want Eli Manning to sign a game used item, 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.840 game used item, it's gonna cost you $1 ,085. 00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:33.779 $1 ,085 for Eli Manning to sign a game used item. 00:11:33.940 --> 00:11:36.559 My opinion, Eli, you're great, but what the heck? 00:11:37.100 --> 00:11:40.000 is going on with these prices. Now, I was hoping 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:42.620 that Tom Brady was gonna be available to sign 00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:45.139 because I got this idea in my head that, you 00:11:45.139 --> 00:11:47.779 know, last week I came up with the if money were 00:11:47.779 --> 00:11:50.000 no object buy of the week. Well, here we go. 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:51.940 If money were no object buy of the week, what 00:11:51.940 --> 00:11:54.860 would I do? I would take myself to Fanatics Fest 00:11:54.860 --> 00:11:57.620 in New York City or buy a plane ticket, buy a 00:11:57.620 --> 00:12:01.399 ticket to this show. I would buy a autograph 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:04.139 and photo op session. with what everyone considers 00:12:04.139 --> 00:12:07.139 the goat Tom Brady and I would have him sign 00:12:07.139 --> 00:12:10.799 something bills related of course and I would 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:12.759 have him inscribe on this because I would have 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:15.320 to pay extra for a special inscription because 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:19.580 everyone charges extra for them to write an additional 00:12:19.580 --> 00:12:23.299 three or four words on these items they charge 00:12:23.299 --> 00:12:26.960 ungodly amounts of money to add very small inscriptions 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.860 to these autograph sessions I wanted him to write 00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:32.659 something to the effect of to the real TB you 00:12:32.659 --> 00:12:35.919 are the best blah blah blah blah I thought that 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.179 would be funny so if money were no objects but 00:12:38.179 --> 00:12:41.539 as I'm looking through the list of athletes who 00:12:41.539 --> 00:12:44.820 will actually be signing a fanatics fest he unfortunately 00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:47.820 is not on the list so what's the next best option 00:12:47.820 --> 00:12:51.399 the next best option I came up with was good 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:54.759 old Dan Marino now Bills fans y 'all remember 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:57.590 Dan Marino He's a pretty good quarterback, pretty 00:12:57.590 --> 00:12:59.470 good Hall of Fame quarterback. But he played 00:12:59.470 --> 00:13:02.529 for the Dolphins and him and Jim Kelly, one of 00:13:02.529 --> 00:13:05.570 my favorite players of all time, they were always 00:13:05.570 --> 00:13:08.549 going at it. Great rivalry. It was awesome. But 00:13:08.549 --> 00:13:10.509 as a Bills fan, you always hated the Dolphins. 00:13:10.590 --> 00:13:14.470 So I thought, why not get a item signed by Dan 00:13:14.470 --> 00:13:17.610 Marito in which he is being sacked by the all 00:13:17.610 --> 00:13:20.809 time sack leader himself, Bruce Smith. Now Bruce 00:13:20.809 --> 00:13:24.549 Smith, Hall of Fame player on the Bills wall 00:13:24.549 --> 00:13:27.200 of fame as well. and the all -time sack leader, 00:13:27.259 --> 00:13:30.820 he finished his career with 200 sacks. Nine and 00:13:30.820 --> 00:13:33.440 a half of those sacks were on none other than 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.120 Dan Marino. And I thought, hey, let's get a picture 00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:40.460 of Bruce sacking Dan and have him sign it with 00:13:40.460 --> 00:13:43.720 the inscription of Squish the Fish, because that 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.820 was a tagline. It still is, but it was used more 00:13:46.820 --> 00:13:50.220 in the 90s when the Bills would have a heated 00:13:50.220 --> 00:13:53.120 rivalry with the Dolphins. Hey. We gotta squish 00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:55.120 the fish. I thought it'd be funny. Let's have 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.360 Dan Marino sign this picture, which I found one 00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:59.600 on eBay, by the way. Not only is it a picture, 00:13:59.779 --> 00:14:04.500 I found a mini poster from 1992 that's called 00:14:04.500 --> 00:14:08.600 Super Sackers. Now this is sponsored and was, 00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:14.100 it's like a promo mockup photo or poster of Bruce 00:14:14.100 --> 00:14:17.899 Smith sacking Dan Marino and he looks like he's 00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:21.259 crying. as he's getting sacked by Bruce Smith. 00:14:21.299 --> 00:14:24.559 It's a great picture. His eyes are closed, he's 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:27.639 falling over, and Bruce Smith is just mangling 00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:30.440 this guy, and it looks amazing. And it's sponsored 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.360 by Ocean Spray and Frito -Lay, but the advertisement, 00:14:34.220 --> 00:14:35.779 they're very small, and they're on the bottom, 00:14:35.820 --> 00:14:37.919 so it doesn't really distract from this pretty 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.740 cool picture. So I thought, hey, let's buy this. 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.419 It's only roughly $25 on eBay. Have Marino sign 00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:46.100 it, have Bruce sign it. It would be great. So 00:14:46.100 --> 00:14:49.669 I'll buy this, 25 bucks. I will get myself to 00:14:49.669 --> 00:14:53.169 Fanatics Fest. I will get a ticket to have Dan 00:14:53.169 --> 00:14:56.429 Marino inscribe this Super Sackers picture, and 00:14:56.429 --> 00:14:59.669 then I will get an additional inscription added 00:14:59.669 --> 00:15:02.029 in which he says, squish the fish. Now, how much 00:15:02.029 --> 00:15:04.330 is this gonna cost me? Well, as I said before, 00:15:04.529 --> 00:15:06.950 the picture itself, 25 bucks, no problem. The 00:15:06.950 --> 00:15:09.750 ticket to get it into Fanatics Fest, $70. Okay, 00:15:09.830 --> 00:15:12.389 we're doing all right so far. And then Dan Marino, 00:15:12.570 --> 00:15:18.629 he charges $350 for his autograph. $350 plus 00:15:18.629 --> 00:15:21.789 an additional get this hundred and sixty three 00:15:21.789 --> 00:15:25.350 bucks for an inscription a hundred and sixty 00:15:25.350 --> 00:15:27.889 three extra dollars to write squish the fish 00:15:27.889 --> 00:15:30.710 on this photo so just for the autograph and the 00:15:30.710 --> 00:15:32.570 inscription it's gonna cost me five hundred fifteen 00:15:32.570 --> 00:15:36.250 dollars then because money is no object I'm gonna 00:15:36.250 --> 00:15:39.129 have him take a picture with me holding this 00:15:39.129 --> 00:15:43.070 freshly signed photo that I brought and I made 00:15:43.070 --> 00:15:45.620 him sign The photo op with Dan Marino is gonna 00:15:45.620 --> 00:15:54.240 cost me another $352. $352. So grand total, the 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.679 poster, the tickets, the inscription, and the 00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:03.940 photo is gonna run me roughly $960. $960, Dan 00:16:03.940 --> 00:16:06.080 Marino, what the heck are we doing? I get it, 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.399 you're a Hall of Famer, but the prices at this 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:12.690 place are insane. Insane. Anyway, I thought that 00:16:12.690 --> 00:16:15.090 would be fun because, like I said, every week 00:16:15.090 --> 00:16:16.830 if money were no object, how would I spend my 00:16:16.830 --> 00:16:18.990 money? This is a great thing. I would want this 00:16:18.990 --> 00:16:21.710 on my wall. I would get it framed. It would be 00:16:21.710 --> 00:16:24.809 glorious. But we can't stop there. No, we can't 00:16:24.809 --> 00:16:27.409 stop there because that's only one half of this 00:16:27.409 --> 00:16:30.570 awesome, awesome picture. We got Marino's autograph, 00:16:30.710 --> 00:16:33.009 we got Marino's inscription, but we need the 00:16:33.009 --> 00:16:37.210 better half, the Hall of Fame all -time NFL Sacklier 00:16:37.210 --> 00:16:40.389 Bruce Smith. Now, he's not going to be at Fanatics 00:16:40.389 --> 00:16:44.019 Fest, so. That's kind of a bummer. So we have 00:16:44.019 --> 00:16:48.440 to go then to the other upcoming huge card show, 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:50.440 The National, which this year is going to be 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:53.899 in Chicago because Bruce Smith will in fact be 00:16:53.899 --> 00:16:57.159 signing there. Now, if you look at the prices 00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:00.360 for The National, much, much more affordable, 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:02.940 much more affordable. An entry ticket to one 00:17:02.940 --> 00:17:04.759 day of The National is only going to run you 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.859 25 bucks. Awesome. Bruce Smith. Now he must not 00:17:08.859 --> 00:17:12.019 be as money -hungry as good old Danny boy because 00:17:12.019 --> 00:17:15.039 Bruce Smith only charges for an autograph and 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.640 inscription and a photo and Bruce Smith should 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.519 obviously sign the photo TB thank you for being 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.140 such a huge Bills fan. Yeah, I mean just Lather 00:17:26.140 --> 00:17:29.059 it up with praises that would be cool, but probably 00:17:29.059 --> 00:17:31.140 only get three words. So something to the effect 00:17:31.140 --> 00:17:34.400 of go bills, but anyway he for an autographed 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:36.480 inscription and a photo for Bruce Smith, it's 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:40.480 only gonna run me $308. $308 compared to almost 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:44.339 a thousand bucks for Danny Boy. Not even accounting 00:17:44.339 --> 00:17:47.859 your hotel, your flight. When all's said and 00:17:47.859 --> 00:17:50.900 done for Fanatics Fest in New York City, you're 00:17:50.900 --> 00:17:54.119 looking at probably two grand, two grand. That's 00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:55.980 a lot of money now. I know if money were no object. 00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.700 We got to make it happen, but $2 ,000 roughly 00:17:58.700 --> 00:18:02.599 to go get Dan Danny boy to sign this this awesome 00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:05.640 photo and then Bruce Smith a total for entry 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:10.500 auto inscription and photo 333 333 I will take 00:18:10.500 --> 00:18:13.099 it so for the grand total probably this whole 00:18:13.099 --> 00:18:15.640 project that I just made up is gonna probably 00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:20.279 cost me anywhere between 2000 and 2300 bucks. 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:22.789 What do we think should we do it? Put it on my 00:18:22.789 --> 00:18:24.670 wall, it's gonna be glorious. It's gonna be awesome. 00:18:25.230 --> 00:18:28.130 What a great photo. Bruce Smith, all -time sack 00:18:28.130 --> 00:18:31.309 leader, sacking. Dan Marino, nine and a half 00:18:31.309 --> 00:18:33.630 times in his career. In this photo, like I said, 00:18:33.730 --> 00:18:39.049 Dan Marino looks like he's crying and there definitely 00:18:39.049 --> 00:18:41.170 is a place he would rather be than right there 00:18:41.170 --> 00:18:45.269 right now. So anyway, but the national. So my 00:18:45.269 --> 00:18:48.029 buddy Mike, like I said, huge Bills fan. Him 00:18:48.029 --> 00:18:50.859 and I share season tickets. He reached out to 00:18:50.859 --> 00:18:52.660 me and said, Hey, do you want to go to the national 00:18:52.660 --> 00:18:56.900 this year? And number one, it's in Chicago. So 00:18:56.900 --> 00:19:00.700 that would obviously require plane and hotel 00:19:00.700 --> 00:19:02.779 and all this stuff. I would love to go. I would 00:19:02.779 --> 00:19:05.940 love to go. But that will be the last weekend 00:19:05.940 --> 00:19:09.079 before my son heads off to the military. So I'm 00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:11.220 going to have to pass. But what he did say, what 00:19:11.220 --> 00:19:14.720 he did say about who was going to be at the national 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:19.490 was none other than national treasure. and former 00:19:19.490 --> 00:19:23.470 Bills coach and general manager Marv Levy. I 00:19:23.470 --> 00:19:26.769 know if you're older like me, you know who Marv 00:19:26.769 --> 00:19:29.650 Levy is. You understand how important he was 00:19:29.650 --> 00:19:32.930 to this franchise, to the city. And younger fans, 00:19:33.069 --> 00:19:35.349 I'm sure you've heard of him. His name is obviously 00:19:35.349 --> 00:19:39.190 on the Bills wall. The name is synonymous with 00:19:39.190 --> 00:19:41.450 Buffalo Bills football, but do we really know? 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:44.640 Younger fans. Do you really know who marv levy 00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:48.819 is and was and this guy in August is going to 00:19:48.819 --> 00:19:51.799 be a hundred years old a hundred years old marv 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:54.759 levy Congratulations. So let's celebrate your 00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:57.480 birthday by taking a trip down memory lane and 00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:02.420 talking about the iconic marv levy We could probably 00:20:02.420 --> 00:20:06.259 spend an entire podcast talking about Marv and 00:20:06.259 --> 00:20:10.400 his coaching career and all of his great accomplishments. 00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:14.420 I just want to kind of give everybody a brief 00:20:14.420 --> 00:20:17.720 overview because this guy was ridiculously impressive. 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.220 Like I said, 100 years old on August 3rd. That 00:20:22.220 --> 00:20:25.740 is amazing. But he coached in the NFL for a long 00:20:25.740 --> 00:20:29.319 time, 17 seasons, 17. If you actually dive into 00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:32.839 his collegiate history as well He was a he was 00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:36.339 an assistant coach at co -college Now fred jackson 00:20:36.339 --> 00:20:39.339 shot out co -college then he went on to new mexico 00:20:39.339 --> 00:20:42.400 Was the assistant coach head coach there coached 00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:45.180 at california coached at william and mary shout 00:20:45.180 --> 00:20:47.799 out shawn mcdermott. So there's all kinds of 00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:50.539 uh, little threads you can pull to tie to current 00:20:50.539 --> 00:20:53.579 and Former bills but a lot going on there then 00:20:53.579 --> 00:20:55.980 he finally got his break with the philadelphia 00:20:55.980 --> 00:21:00.559 eagles around 1969, he was their kicker's coach, 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.980 if you can believe it, kicker's coach. And then 00:21:03.980 --> 00:21:08.079 he went to the LA Rams around 1970, was their 00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:10.960 special teams coach, went on to coach special 00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:14.200 teams for the Redskins. And then he went to the 00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:17.500 CFL, the Canadian Football League, where he coached 00:21:17.500 --> 00:21:21.339 Montreal from 73 to 77. And he actually won two 00:21:21.339 --> 00:21:25.170 Grey Cup titles with. Montreal so pretty impressive 00:21:25.170 --> 00:21:29.329 so far here. He finally jumps into Head coaching 00:21:29.329 --> 00:21:33.069 head coaching to in the NFL rather head coach 00:21:33.069 --> 00:21:34.789 in the NFL. He got a job with the Kansas City 00:21:34.789 --> 00:21:40.670 Chiefs boo from 1978 to 1982 he coaches one year 00:21:40.670 --> 00:21:45.549 with a team called the Chicago Blitz now I am 00:21:45.549 --> 00:21:49.910 NOT too big on indoor football But he coaches 00:21:49.910 --> 00:21:52.730 a team called Chicago Blitz in the United States 00:21:52.730 --> 00:21:56.980 Football League I do know Levy is from Chicago 00:21:56.980 --> 00:22:00.099 area, so maybe this is a deal where he didn't 00:22:00.099 --> 00:22:01.759 want to be away from home and he kind of just 00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:04.759 wanted to coach where he lives, where he's born, 00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:07.019 that kind of deal. But he coaches one year with 00:22:07.019 --> 00:22:10.539 the Blitz. And then finally, finally, in 1986, 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:14.599 he becomes the head coach of your Buffalo Bills. 00:22:14.779 --> 00:22:18.740 And he coaches the Bills for quite some time. 00:22:19.059 --> 00:22:23.750 He coached them from 86... all the way to 1997. 00:22:24.769 --> 00:22:26.349 Pretty impressive. His career with the Bills 00:22:26.349 --> 00:22:28.990 started a little slow. Started off seven and 00:22:28.990 --> 00:22:31.990 eight, and then the next year, the team went 00:22:31.990 --> 00:22:35.289 12 and four. So quite the turnaround for the 00:22:35.289 --> 00:22:37.509 Buffalo Bills. Quite the turnaround. And this 00:22:37.509 --> 00:22:42.150 was 1988. And then of course, we go on this run, 00:22:42.230 --> 00:22:45.490 winning all these Eastern Division titles. He... 00:22:45.500 --> 00:22:48.759 is responsible for the no -huddle, high -powered 00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.519 offense led by, of course, Jim Kelly and just 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:55.079 a cast of characters, future Hall of Famers. 00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:57.819 I mean, the list goes on and on. Offensive side, 00:22:58.059 --> 00:23:01.279 defensive side. This was the team that I grew 00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:04.440 up watching. This was the team that, you know, 00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:08.599 I credit my Buffalo Bills long time, 40 plus 00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:13.519 years fandom. I love this team. He was... the 00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:16.380 glue that held this team together. And they were 00:23:16.380 --> 00:23:18.740 definitely a cast of characters on this team. 00:23:19.019 --> 00:23:23.940 So his run went all the way through 1997. And 00:23:23.940 --> 00:23:27.599 he was just, this team was great. They were just 00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:30.759 crushing people. With the exception of the Super 00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:34.619 Bowls, obviously. This team was so fun to watch. 00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:38.519 Just great. Just a great time to be a Bills fan. 00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:43.119 So he retires after the 97 season he gets elected 00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:46.380 into the pro football Hall of Fame a few years 00:23:46.380 --> 00:23:50.319 later Ultimately, he comes back as a general 00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:55.420 manager in 2006 and at this point he's 80 years 00:23:55.420 --> 00:23:58.779 old. So at 80 years old Marv Levy is general 00:23:58.779 --> 00:24:02.799 manager and vice president of football ops for 00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:06.420 the Buffalo Bills 80 80 years old It's crazy. 00:24:06.420 --> 00:24:11.000 If you ask me he was Handed a crap situation. 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.640 I mean if you remember what was going on around 00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:18.539 this time you had The resignation of Mike Malarkey 00:24:18.539 --> 00:24:21.559 that was a whole debacle I mean we'll dive into 00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:24.799 that nonsense in a future episode But there was 00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:27.839 so much nonsense going around the team and at 00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:30.400 this point we are just approaching the middle 00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:36.460 point of the drought so he was kind of in a terrible 00:24:36.460 --> 00:24:40.700 situation, but He hires Dick Jaron and things 00:24:40.700 --> 00:24:44.599 just seem to get worse because I'm not sure why 00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:47.160 he went with Jaron, but you want to talk about 00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:49.839 one of the most boring head coaches in the history 00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:54.400 of the Bills. Yeah, that was a rough, rough stretch. 00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.079 But anyway, I give him a lot of credit at 80 00:24:57.079 --> 00:24:59.839 years old being the general manager of an NFL 00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:02.799 team. Tip of the cap. I don't think it was a 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:06.259 very successful run, but I don't think it. diminishes 00:25:06.259 --> 00:25:10.019 the accomplishments of Marv Levy and what he 00:25:10.019 --> 00:25:13.460 did in his career. I just think looking back, 00:25:13.779 --> 00:25:17.700 this guy is iconic, not only in Bill's history, 00:25:18.099 --> 00:25:21.240 but iconic in the history of the NFL, and he 00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:24.359 should be recognized. And I always wonder if 00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:27.660 he got enough credit or recognition, because 00:25:27.660 --> 00:25:30.789 during the Super Bowl runs, Like I said, this 00:25:30.789 --> 00:25:34.369 team was loaded with superstars. I mean, you 00:25:34.369 --> 00:25:36.210 had your Bruce Smiths and your Andre Reeds, your 00:25:36.210 --> 00:25:39.170 Thurman Somers, your Jim Kelly's. I mean, it 00:25:39.170 --> 00:25:42.710 was player after player after player, and I almost 00:25:42.710 --> 00:25:45.210 think Marv didn't get enough credit for the way 00:25:45.210 --> 00:25:50.450 he was the glue that held all these superstar 00:25:50.450 --> 00:25:52.930 NFL players together. Back then, there were a 00:25:52.930 --> 00:25:55.609 lot of rumblings about... how the team didn't 00:25:55.609 --> 00:25:57.910 get along and they were the bickering bills and 00:25:57.910 --> 00:26:00.269 there was a whole lot of nonsense and this is 00:26:00.269 --> 00:26:03.109 way before social media and the internet and 00:26:03.109 --> 00:26:06.089 all this stuff but newspapers and local media 00:26:06.089 --> 00:26:12.609 was reporting it seemed constantly on the infighting 00:26:12.609 --> 00:26:15.309 and the nonsense in the locker rooms and some 00:26:15.309 --> 00:26:17.190 of the attitudes and stuff that were going on 00:26:17.190 --> 00:26:19.950 with this team and I just feel like Marv was 00:26:19.950 --> 00:26:22.579 the glue that held this all together. So I wondered 00:26:22.579 --> 00:26:25.900 is there a way that we could have made marv even 00:26:25.900 --> 00:26:31.519 more popular than he was during his run as a 00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:34.279 Extremely successful buffalo bills head coach 00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:36.960 would there have been anything we could have 00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:40.599 done if we were his if we were his agent And 00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:42.660 we said hey marv, we got to get you in the in 00:26:42.660 --> 00:26:44.640 the national spotlight a little more I think 00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:47.220 people just don't realize how awesome you are 00:26:47.450 --> 00:26:50.869 What if we came up with a way to make Marv even 00:26:50.869 --> 00:26:54.750 more famous and more of a national icon, is what 00:26:54.750 --> 00:26:57.190 I like to refer to him as. What if there were 00:26:57.190 --> 00:26:59.109 a way that we could put even more of a spotlight 00:26:59.109 --> 00:27:02.420 on him? Would there be a way we could blend two 00:27:02.420 --> 00:27:04.880 of the awesome hobbies that we talk about here 00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:07.579 in the Three Tees podcast? I call this segment 00:27:07.579 --> 00:27:11.039 Crossing the Tees Segment of the Week. Now, one 00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:13.960 of the greatest 80s movies of all time is none 00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:16.859 other than Ghostbusters. And if you remember 00:27:16.859 --> 00:27:19.680 the movie Ghostbusters, they tell you you should 00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:22.319 never cross the streams. Well, I carry this. 00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:26.740 this advice with me through my through my ears. 00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:29.539 But here on the three tease podcast, we're going 00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:32.099 to cross the tease because what if Marv Levy 00:27:32.099 --> 00:27:34.059 dove into the world of professional wrestling? 00:27:34.299 --> 00:27:39.220 What if Marv Levy? became a manager of some down 00:27:39.220 --> 00:27:41.660 -on -their -luck superstars back in the day. 00:27:41.700 --> 00:27:44.839 How could he have helped certain wrestlers? How 00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.420 could he have made them have better trajectories, 00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:50.740 better career arcs? How could he have helped 00:27:50.740 --> 00:27:54.339 them recover from different terrible stories 00:27:54.339 --> 00:27:56.500 they were involved in? And so I came up with 00:27:56.500 --> 00:27:58.740 a list of some professional wrestlers that I 00:27:58.740 --> 00:28:01.920 thought Marv would be great to assist, to help, 00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:05.450 to boost up as their manager. I think this would 00:28:05.450 --> 00:28:07.849 be a fun exercise. So here we go. Number one, 00:28:08.029 --> 00:28:10.609 the first wrestler that I think Marv Levy should 00:28:10.609 --> 00:28:14.529 have managed was none other than IRS. That's 00:28:14.529 --> 00:28:18.470 right, Irwin R. Scheister. Think about it. This 00:28:18.470 --> 00:28:21.789 would be absolutely brilliant. Now, Mike Rotunda, 00:28:22.089 --> 00:28:25.000 shout out to Bray Wyatt, his father. Bray Wyatt 00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:26.920 one of my favorites, but let's get back to IRS 00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:31.359 IRS debuted in the WWF as as this character in 00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:34.200 April of 1991 so think about what just happened 00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:38.519 a few months prior Bill Zeus to the Giants It's 00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:40.759 one of the most patriotic Super Bowls of all 00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:43.640 time. This is where Whitney Houston is singing 00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:47.059 the iconic Pre -recorded mind you pre -recorded 00:28:47.059 --> 00:28:49.539 national anthem, but you know a lot of things 00:28:49.539 --> 00:28:54.349 going on globally in the world with us overseas 00:28:54.349 --> 00:28:56.930 and war efforts and whatnot. So this is one of 00:28:56.930 --> 00:28:59.789 the most patriotic Super Bowls of all time. And 00:28:59.789 --> 00:29:04.869 shortly thereafter, IRS debuts in the WWF. Now 00:29:04.869 --> 00:29:08.529 IRS is a gimmick where, He plays a bad guy and 00:29:08.529 --> 00:29:11.849 he has a tax collector Hence the initials IRS 00:29:11.849 --> 00:29:14.650 and everyone hates this guy hates this guy because 00:29:14.650 --> 00:29:17.609 his whole thing is he gets after the fans He 00:29:17.609 --> 00:29:20.849 comes after wrestlers. He calls everyone a tax 00:29:20.849 --> 00:29:24.589 cheat He basically makes fun of them and says 00:29:24.589 --> 00:29:27.490 that they're all dirtbags for not paying their 00:29:27.490 --> 00:29:30.250 fair share of taxes every town he goes in he 00:29:30.250 --> 00:29:33.529 goes on some rant about local or state income 00:29:33.529 --> 00:29:36.839 taxes, it's an awesome gimmick, but Everyone 00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:38.960 hates them because nobody likes paying taxes. 00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:41.480 So this is where Marv comes in. Marv, fresh off 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:42.940 the heels, now I know they just lost the Super 00:29:42.940 --> 00:29:45.799 Bowl, but Marv, fresh off the heels of this super 00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.500 patriotic game, can you imagine Marv Levy being 00:29:48.500 --> 00:29:51.539 the manager of IRS? We could put a whole new 00:29:51.539 --> 00:29:56.480 spin on the IRS character and explaining to people... 00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:59.099 Maybe tell an irs to tone it down a little bit 00:29:59.099 --> 00:30:01.539 and really explain what the taxes are going to 00:30:01.539 --> 00:30:05.160 be going for and just have a total patriotic 00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:09.759 spin and Trying to portray irs in a much more 00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:12.700 favorable light. So what do we think irs marv 00:30:12.700 --> 00:30:15.400 levy is his manager off to a good start No, okay. 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:17.839 Check out the next one number two on the list 00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:21.000 of wrestlers I think marv levy should have managed 00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:23.279 at some point during his brand new fictitious 00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:27.500 made up WWF career number two none other than 00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:30.460 one of my favorites as a kid the ultimate warrior 00:30:30.460 --> 00:30:33.259 now You may be asking why does the ultimate warrior 00:30:33.259 --> 00:30:36.000 need a manager? He was quite successful. He had 00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:38.720 a great run pretty short run, but he had a great 00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:42.500 run kids love them he was extremely popular and 00:30:42.500 --> 00:30:45.220 Why does he need a manager? Well if you're bored 00:30:45.220 --> 00:30:47.799 sometime and you want to go down the ultimate 00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:50.500 rabbit hole get on the YouTube and start googling 00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:53.970 some ultimate warrior promos They are some of 00:30:53.970 --> 00:30:57.750 the most hilarious, rambling, incoherent messes 00:30:57.750 --> 00:31:00.890 that you could ever imagine. If you think the 00:31:00.890 --> 00:31:05.369 classic Scott Steiner, Big Papa Pump mathematician 00:31:05.369 --> 00:31:08.069 promo is terrible, you should go back and listen 00:31:08.069 --> 00:31:11.190 to some of the Ultimate Warrior promo packages. 00:31:11.369 --> 00:31:14.109 They are mind -numbingly hilarious. You have 00:31:14.109 --> 00:31:17.160 no idea what this guy... is talking about. And 00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:19.039 it's crazy. He'll talk about the heavens and 00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:21.019 he'll talk about the power of the warriors and 00:31:21.019 --> 00:31:23.720 all this stuff. I think he tied the ribbons on 00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:27.039 his arms way too tight and it ended up cutting 00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:29.180 off the circulation to his head. But this is 00:31:29.180 --> 00:31:32.500 where Marv comes in. So picture this. Marv Levy, 00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:35.400 manager, Ultimate Warrior. Ultimate Warrior cuts 00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:37.779 up promo on whomever he's fighting. Let's say 00:31:37.779 --> 00:31:41.329 Hulk Hogan, for example, and he does a 30 to 00:31:41.329 --> 00:31:44.529 60 second rambling promo that no one knows what 00:31:44.529 --> 00:31:46.490 the hell he's talking about. Well, Marv Levy 00:31:46.490 --> 00:31:50.650 is super, super intelligent. He then translates 00:31:50.650 --> 00:31:53.990 the promo that the Warrior just rambled on about 00:31:53.990 --> 00:31:57.670 into words and phrases and explains it to the 00:31:57.670 --> 00:32:01.069 people so we know why we should be invested in 00:32:01.069 --> 00:32:03.390 the Warrior. I think is brilliant. I think he 00:32:03.390 --> 00:32:07.069 could have helped the warrior have a longer more 00:32:07.069 --> 00:32:11.009 sustainable career and maybe we Cut down on some 00:32:11.009 --> 00:32:14.049 of the the backstage drama. I know warrior wasn't 00:32:14.049 --> 00:32:16.509 wasn't really liked in the profession But maybe 00:32:16.509 --> 00:32:19.369 marv is the peacekeeper and he bridges the gap 00:32:19.369 --> 00:32:21.549 between the warrior and all these other wrestlers 00:32:21.549 --> 00:32:24.410 look He was one of my favorites. So you combine 00:32:24.410 --> 00:32:26.329 one of my favorite wrestlers with one of the 00:32:26.329 --> 00:32:28.569 greatest bills managers of all time I think it's 00:32:28.569 --> 00:32:31.609 a win win. So that's number two marvelevi manages 00:32:31.609 --> 00:32:33.769 ultimate warrior What do we think of that one 00:32:33.769 --> 00:32:36.730 number three? I got to go with marty genetti 00:32:36.730 --> 00:32:39.549 now if you've never heard of marty genetti Hopefully 00:32:39.549 --> 00:32:42.069 hopefully if you're a newer wrestler wrestling 00:32:42.069 --> 00:32:45.789 fan you have heard of the tag team Called the 00:32:45.789 --> 00:32:48.630 rockers now when I was a kid the rockers were 00:32:49.069 --> 00:32:52.650 by far my favorite tag team by far and it's no 00:32:52.650 --> 00:32:55.569 wonder that this led me years later probably 00:32:55.569 --> 00:32:58.390 two decades later to love the hearty boys because 00:32:58.390 --> 00:33:01.410 I think the hearty boys are essentially the rockers 00:33:01.410 --> 00:33:05.150 turned up to like 30 I loved the rockers when 00:33:05.150 --> 00:33:07.710 I was a kid they were fast they were flashy they 00:33:07.710 --> 00:33:11.210 did cool moves they had lots of colors in their 00:33:11.210 --> 00:33:14.430 outfits and they had the long flow going with 00:33:14.430 --> 00:33:17.220 their hair they look like Rock stars but yet 00:33:17.220 --> 00:33:19.900 athletes at the same time and they did some really 00:33:19.900 --> 00:33:22.400 cool stuff. The music was great So it was Shawn 00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:25.000 Michaels who would go on to have a Hall of Fame 00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:28.680 iconic Longtime career. He's still involved in 00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:31.799 WWE Obviously, he's one of the main coaches one 00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:34.400 of the main people behind the scenes at NXT But 00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:37.859 his rockers partner way back when good old Marty 00:33:37.859 --> 00:33:41.640 Janetti things were never the same upon the breakup 00:33:41.640 --> 00:33:45.599 of the rockers now I was devastated when the 00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:47.920 Rockers broke up. And if you don't remember, 00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:51.319 look up the barbershop episode. So Brutus the 00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:55.359 Barber Beefcake hosted a segment on WWF programming 00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:58.900 called The Barbershop. And he had as his guests, 00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:01.119 Shawn Michaels and Marty Gionetti, the Rockers. 00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:05.059 Well, you could sense the tension. forming between 00:34:05.059 --> 00:34:07.299 this tag team for quite some time. And it was 00:34:07.299 --> 00:34:10.139 on this episode of The Barbershop that ultimately 00:34:10.139 --> 00:34:12.940 Shawn Michaels betrays Janeti, super kicks him, 00:34:13.019 --> 00:34:15.519 and then throws him through the glass window 00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:18.079 of The Barbershop, thus ending The Rockers and 00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:21.360 all future hope for reconciliation. And it was 00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:24.059 devastating. Devastating to me as a kid, as a 00:34:24.059 --> 00:34:26.360 fan of The Rockers. And Marty Janeti, frankly, 00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:30.199 he never recovered. So enter Marv Levy. He is 00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:34.429 here to... Pick up genetic to dust off dust him 00:34:34.429 --> 00:34:37.469 off and get him back on track. I think with his 00:34:37.469 --> 00:34:41.090 positivity He gives him some of his life lessons 00:34:41.090 --> 00:34:43.409 some of the books he's read some of the knowledge 00:34:43.409 --> 00:34:46.489 he can partake and we see this character arc 00:34:46.489 --> 00:34:49.849 of Marty genetic going from it's like a rocky 00:34:49.849 --> 00:34:52.389 movie, you know, it's like when Apollo dies and 00:34:52.389 --> 00:34:54.809 rocky doesn't know what to do with his life and 00:34:54.809 --> 00:34:57.809 he's down on his luck and it's just Downfall 00:34:57.809 --> 00:35:00.530 after downfall negativity after negativity the 00:35:00.530 --> 00:35:02.829 same thing with Marty Gionetti It would be awesome 00:35:02.829 --> 00:35:06.230 to see this this character arc played out through 00:35:06.230 --> 00:35:09.449 vignettes and training montages And it would 00:35:09.449 --> 00:35:12.190 be amazing to see Marv in the back encouraging 00:35:12.190 --> 00:35:16.750 him training him just like Just like Rocky's 00:35:16.750 --> 00:35:20.019 coach Mickey In the rocky franchises, I think 00:35:20.019 --> 00:35:22.199 it would be great. And then you so you see this 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:24.900 character arc of genetic Coming back from the 00:35:24.900 --> 00:35:27.099 dead essentially recovering from the barbershop 00:35:27.099 --> 00:35:30.320 fiasco training getting stronger He goes on and 00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:33.880 has a great run He ultimately beats Shawn Michaels 00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:37.579 and then he goes on this trajectory to win the 00:35:37.579 --> 00:35:40.480 WWF championship I think it would be storytelling 00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:43.559 at its absolute finest all because we decided 00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:47.489 to add Marv Levy as Marty genetic manager But 00:35:47.489 --> 00:35:49.449 if you haven't liked any of these suggestions, 00:35:49.590 --> 00:35:52.429 I have saved what I think is the best for last 00:35:52.429 --> 00:35:55.829 because the fourth wrestler I think Marv Levy 00:35:55.829 --> 00:35:58.190 should have managed back in the day was none 00:35:58.190 --> 00:36:01.590 other than the Godfather. That's right. Everyone 00:36:01.590 --> 00:36:05.489 aboard the Ho train because that's what the Godfather 00:36:05.489 --> 00:36:08.110 was famous for. He would come out from the ring. 00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:11.079 and he would be surrounded or he would come out 00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:13.860 to the ring and he would be surrounded by dancing 00:36:13.860 --> 00:36:17.139 girls scantily clad women and for a period of 00:36:17.139 --> 00:36:20.559 two years he was a fan favorite just because 00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:25.239 he was essentially what his persona was, was 00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:27.980 none other than a pimp. And so these women would 00:36:27.980 --> 00:36:29.920 come out and they'd be dancing, they'd be surrounding 00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:34.860 the ring. And back then in the 90s, when characters 00:36:34.860 --> 00:36:38.360 like this were all over the place and WWE was 00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:42.059 filled with sleaze and scantily clad women and 00:36:42.059 --> 00:36:44.519 the actual women's wrestling angle of the whole 00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:47.760 thing was pretty much nonexistent. This was what 00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:52.599 you got. So enter in... the great Marv Levy managing 00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:56.940 the Godfather. Can you imagine this? Marv being 00:36:56.940 --> 00:37:00.380 the good guy he is, during the matches when the 00:37:00.380 --> 00:37:03.820 Godfather is in the ring, having his matches, 00:37:04.219 --> 00:37:08.139 he's trying to work with the women that have 00:37:08.139 --> 00:37:10.179 escorted the Godfather to the ring and he's trying 00:37:10.179 --> 00:37:14.340 to find them. Good upstanding work and he's trying 00:37:14.340 --> 00:37:18.260 to play matchmaker and uh, I think it'd be brilliant. 00:37:18.380 --> 00:37:21.380 He tries to show the godfather the era error 00:37:21.380 --> 00:37:25.440 of his ways and encourage him to change his life 00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:30.340 and be a more caring, kind, loving individual 00:37:30.340 --> 00:37:34.239 to the women of society. And we see this character 00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:37.340 arc where the Godfather goes from being a pimp 00:37:37.340 --> 00:37:40.139 essentially and a strip club owner or whatever 00:37:40.139 --> 00:37:43.820 the hell character he was thought out to be. 00:37:43.940 --> 00:37:46.960 We see him going from that to a upstanding citizen 00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:51.059 and transforming the life of these down -on -their 00:37:51.059 --> 00:37:54.599 -luck women and helping to lift them up in a 00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:57.599 much more positive light, all due to the help 00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:01.599 and support and guidance of none other than Marv 00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:04.619 Levy. So there you have it. Four awesome ways 00:38:04.619 --> 00:38:08.659 we could take Marv from a national icon to a 00:38:08.659 --> 00:38:10.920 global treasure. I think it's brilliant. That's 00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:12.840 just some fun I'm trying to have. Crossing the 00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:16.179 T's, bringing the worlds of the Buffalo Bills 00:38:16.179 --> 00:38:19.360 into the WWF. I think it'd be fun. He's turning 00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:22.300 100 in a very short amount of time and he'll 00:38:22.300 --> 00:38:24.679 be at the national. So if you get a chance, go 00:38:24.679 --> 00:38:27.219 out, buy your tickets, say hi to Marv, get a 00:38:27.219 --> 00:38:29.679 picture and a photo op and an autograph session. 00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:32.579 And yeah, I think it's well worth your time and 00:38:32.579 --> 00:38:34.500 investment. I'm disappointed I can't be there, 00:38:34.500 --> 00:38:37.360 but I hope you all get a chance to go say hi 00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:40.800 to Marv and... Hey, tell him my great idea because 00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:44.460 I think it's brilliant. Let's quickly dive into 00:38:44.460 --> 00:38:46.519 the world of professional wrestling now There 00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:50.599 is so much going on right now on TV. It's almost 00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:54.139 overwhelming. I'm gonna start with a W now Historically, 00:38:54.139 --> 00:38:58.219 I am a WWE guy always have been probably always 00:38:58.219 --> 00:39:02.739 will be never got into the WCW war Never took 00:39:02.739 --> 00:39:06.340 their side was a wwf guy wwe guy the whole way 00:39:06.340 --> 00:39:09.599 But recently I have been trying to get into aw. 00:39:09.980 --> 00:39:12.659 I made the decision what a month ago a couple 00:39:12.659 --> 00:39:16.980 weeks ago to Drop 50 bucks and order aw the the 00:39:16.980 --> 00:39:19.599 pay -per -view the double or nothing all or nothing 00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:21.019 I can't remember the name of it. I think it's 00:39:21.019 --> 00:39:22.760 double or nothing the double or nothing pay -per 00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:25.760 -view And it was probably the best 50 bucks I've 00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:27.440 spent on a wrestling pay -per -view in quite 00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:30.219 some time. I had a blast. The wrestling is awesome. 00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:33.800 They put on a fan -freaking -tastic pay -per 00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:36.739 -view show. Fantastic. But can we talk a minute 00:39:36.739 --> 00:39:39.780 about how much they are putting on a Wednesday 00:39:39.780 --> 00:39:42.000 night? Four hours, back -to -back weeks, guys? 00:39:42.099 --> 00:39:45.440 What are we doing? And thank God, thank God the 00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:48.440 main match, the best match of the night, Swerve 00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:51.800 versus Ospreay. That match was sick. It ended 00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:55.119 in a 30 -minute draw. But I see where they're 00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:56.820 going with this story. I love it. It's going 00:39:56.820 --> 00:39:58.780 to be great. Hopefully they're going to team 00:39:58.780 --> 00:40:02.360 up and fight the Young Bucks at All -In in Texas 00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:06.139 here in about a month. But AEW, guys, I think 00:40:06.139 --> 00:40:08.820 you need to chill a little with the four -hour 00:40:08.820 --> 00:40:11.480 extravaganza on a Wednesday in the middle of 00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:13.659 the week. Nobody can keep up with this. I read 00:40:13.659 --> 00:40:16.420 an article about the numbers. Last week, the 00:40:16.420 --> 00:40:18.920 numbers were okay and they kind of dwindled as 00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:20.699 the program went on. This week, they were even 00:40:20.699 --> 00:40:23.619 worse. It's just too much. I understand that 00:40:23.619 --> 00:40:25.420 technically what they did, the first two hours 00:40:25.420 --> 00:40:27.639 were dynamite, the second two hours were collision, 00:40:28.099 --> 00:40:30.820 but these are... Historically on different days 00:40:30.820 --> 00:40:33.659 of the week. So maybe logistically due to scheduling 00:40:33.659 --> 00:40:36.199 and buildings in space They were kind of left 00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:39.239 no choice. So they labeled it what I think the 00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:42.260 one the week before was called fighter fest and 00:40:42.260 --> 00:40:45.000 I don't remember the name they threw on this 00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:47.940 week's episode, but it's too much guys. It's 00:40:47.940 --> 00:40:50.360 too much You start with Monday Monday Night Raw 00:40:50.360 --> 00:40:53.420 right now. The WWE is kind of getting into a 00:40:53.420 --> 00:40:57.190 good A good time frame, about two hours, 15 minutes, 00:40:57.250 --> 00:41:00.110 two hours, 20 minutes is what the average run 00:41:00.110 --> 00:41:03.849 time of WWE Monday Night Raw is. And that's fine, 00:41:03.849 --> 00:41:05.989 that's good. I like it, it's a perfect amount 00:41:05.989 --> 00:41:09.889 of time. You can watch it whether live or on 00:41:09.889 --> 00:41:13.349 replay and you're not making a killer investment. 00:41:13.550 --> 00:41:15.409 Friday Night SmackDown, it's a little longer. 00:41:15.550 --> 00:41:17.469 Right now they're averaging three hours a week. 00:41:17.809 --> 00:41:19.849 So between the two shows you're at five and a 00:41:19.849 --> 00:41:22.530 half hours and then you go and add another four 00:41:22.530 --> 00:41:25.920 for AEW. That's almost 10 hours a week. Just 00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:28.519 of that. I don't have time to watch NXT. It's 00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:30.440 crazy. I know they're doing good things down 00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:32.760 there, but I just can't. I don't have enough 00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:34.639 bandwidth. I don't have enough time in my week 00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:38.260 or my days to catch up on it all. So I'm stuck 00:41:38.260 --> 00:41:41.820 with reading online reviews about what's going 00:41:41.820 --> 00:41:44.099 on in NXT because there's not enough time. But 00:41:44.099 --> 00:41:46.880 AEW, can we chill with the four -hour Wednesdays? 00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:50.019 Because it is really tough. I like the product. 00:41:50.139 --> 00:41:52.440 I do like the product. I think their main guys 00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:55.800 are awesome. Will Ospreay, Swerve Strickland. 00:41:56.260 --> 00:42:00.579 Not a huge fan of the Jon Moxley era as champion. 00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:03.380 Loved him in the shield. One of my favorite iconic 00:42:03.380 --> 00:42:06.380 factions of all time. Clearly he's taken a much 00:42:06.380 --> 00:42:09.800 different, darker character, Jon Moxley in AEW. 00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:12.219 He does some good work, but I know a lot of people 00:42:12.219 --> 00:42:14.699 are clamoring for this to be over. Obviously 00:42:14.699 --> 00:42:19.260 he is going to be going on to fight Adam Hangman 00:42:19.260 --> 00:42:22.519 Page for the title at... All -in. I can't wait 00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:24.880 for all -in. I think it's gonna be fantastic 00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:28.940 pay -per -view. I am all in on the AEW pay -per 00:42:28.940 --> 00:42:31.760 -views, but let's just back off the four -hour 00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:34.639 Wednesday shows, but I love the product. Maybe 00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:38.219 they have a few too many guys, so by the time 00:42:38.219 --> 00:42:41.260 you are sifting through four hours, there's just 00:42:41.260 --> 00:42:43.619 way too many people, too many belts. There's 00:42:43.619 --> 00:42:45.840 too many things going on, but the top tier guys 00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:50.340 in AEW I think are... good or if not better than 00:42:50.340 --> 00:42:54.260 some of the WWE guys and I love WWE but anyway 00:42:54.260 --> 00:42:59.280 so much going on Jey Uso lost To Gunther maybe 00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:01.679 we'll have a show about his very short title 00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:05.019 run Compared to some others very short title 00:43:05.019 --> 00:43:07.539 runs. Not sure how I feel about the whole thing 00:43:07.539 --> 00:43:09.460 I'm not sure who it helped not sure if it helped 00:43:09.460 --> 00:43:11.679 Jay if it helped Gunther I'm not really sure 00:43:11.679 --> 00:43:13.679 what the whole point of it is. I'm hearing some 00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:16.380 rumors that the whole purpose was so Gunther 00:43:16.380 --> 00:43:19.300 could have a match against one of my least favorite 00:43:19.300 --> 00:43:21.920 wrestlers of all time, Bill Goldberg. God, I 00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:24.099 hope that is not the case. I really hope Bill 00:43:24.099 --> 00:43:26.480 Goldberg is not coming back to have his retirement 00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:29.019 match against Gunther. I don't know about you, 00:43:29.019 --> 00:43:32.619 but in my opinion, no one, no one wants to see 00:43:32.619 --> 00:43:34.980 Goldberg wrestle anymore. His matches over the 00:43:34.980 --> 00:43:38.380 last five, six years have been absolute train 00:43:38.380 --> 00:43:40.679 wrecks. Guys have gotten hurt. They're terrible 00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:43.900 matches. He is essentially the entrance and that's 00:43:43.900 --> 00:43:46.179 it. Let's just turn the TV off once he gets to 00:43:46.179 --> 00:43:47.780 the ring and you tell me what happens because 00:43:47.780 --> 00:43:50.159 I don't want to watch a Bill Goldberg match. 00:43:50.420 --> 00:43:53.659 Bill Goldberg match. Our truth, if you watch 00:43:53.659 --> 00:43:57.320 this segment where he cut off his dreads on national 00:43:57.320 --> 00:44:00.119 television, that was quite the impact statement. 00:44:00.579 --> 00:44:02.840 It was crazy when I saw him pull the scissors 00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:04.739 out of his pocket and he slowly starts cutting 00:44:04.739 --> 00:44:08.300 off his hair. I was like, what the hell is happening? 00:44:08.510 --> 00:44:11.050 This is insane. He's essentially shedding the 00:44:11.050 --> 00:44:14.170 our truth persona and he wants to go by ron killings 00:44:14.170 --> 00:44:17.170 And I cannot wait to see where this goes. I know 00:44:17.170 --> 00:44:22.150 on smackdown He ran in and kind of attacked cena 00:44:22.150 --> 00:44:24.030 on two different occasions during the program 00:44:24.030 --> 00:44:26.170 smackdown By the way was awesome. It was filled 00:44:26.170 --> 00:44:30.170 with great matches great promos I am suddenly 00:44:30.170 --> 00:44:34.190 a lot more interested in the cena debacle that 00:44:34.190 --> 00:44:36.809 they have put together his promo to start to 00:44:36.809 --> 00:44:40.630 show was Fire and then when CM Punk came out 00:44:40.630 --> 00:44:43.889 and addressed him later on in the show that was 00:44:43.889 --> 00:44:47.269 gold gold That's the stuff we wanted to see from 00:44:47.269 --> 00:44:49.389 the start. Where does this go? I don't know. 00:44:49.389 --> 00:44:51.610 I don't know what happens in Saudi I know night 00:44:51.610 --> 00:44:53.769 of champions. It's gonna be seen a verse punk. 00:44:54.030 --> 00:44:57.110 We shall see what happens But I am now actually 00:44:57.110 --> 00:45:00.489 invested in this arc. I can't wait to see what 00:45:00.489 --> 00:45:03.389 they do So that was positive. The Archute thing 00:45:03.389 --> 00:45:06.750 was great. Nikki Bella returned. She was promoting 00:45:06.750 --> 00:45:10.530 the upcoming women's only pay -per -view on the 00:45:10.530 --> 00:45:13.630 horizon. And then none other than Liv Morgan 00:45:13.630 --> 00:45:17.309 came out. They got into a rather uncomfortable 00:45:17.309 --> 00:45:21.269 back and forth. Why is it that sometimes during 00:45:21.269 --> 00:45:25.329 these women's battles, these women's... talking 00:45:25.329 --> 00:45:27.869 segments, why do they always have to or sometimes 00:45:27.869 --> 00:45:30.449 it seems to be that they're bringing up the others 00:45:30.449 --> 00:45:32.789 love interest. No one wants to hear that. No 00:45:32.789 --> 00:45:35.150 one cares what's going on in Nikki's personal 00:45:35.150 --> 00:45:37.150 life. Can we just leave that out of it and maybe 00:45:37.150 --> 00:45:40.070 focus on the wrestling aspect? Because that was 00:45:40.070 --> 00:45:42.929 kind of stupid. Sorry, Liv. I think you're great. 00:45:42.989 --> 00:45:46.630 But that was kind of dumb and unnecessary. But 00:45:46.630 --> 00:45:49.489 I think the wrestling of it all has been great. 00:45:50.010 --> 00:45:53.409 AEW can't wait to see all in WWE. You guys are 00:45:53.409 --> 00:45:55.590 rolling right now. Hopefully we get some better 00:45:55.590 --> 00:45:58.289 traction with this scene of story. I'm not sure 00:45:58.289 --> 00:46:02.329 what to do about the Jey Uso story. We'll see. 00:46:02.550 --> 00:46:04.710 We're going to talk about the King of the Ring 00:46:04.710 --> 00:46:06.829 tournament that they're having between Raw and 00:46:06.829 --> 00:46:09.550 SmackDown and leading it to Night of Champions. 00:46:10.030 --> 00:46:11.710 I have high hopes. I think it's going to be great. 00:46:12.070 --> 00:46:13.969 A lot of cool stuff going on. So I think that's 00:46:13.969 --> 00:46:16.590 going to wrap up episode four. If you have enjoyed 00:46:16.590 --> 00:46:19.550 this episode or any other episode of the three 00:46:19.550 --> 00:46:21.989 T's, please do me a favor. Please, please, please 00:46:21.989 --> 00:46:24.300 help me out. Help me out. It would be awesome 00:46:24.300 --> 00:46:26.059 if you could share this podcast with someone 00:46:26.059 --> 00:46:29.480 you know. Someone that you know is a fellow mafia 00:46:29.480 --> 00:46:31.320 member. Someone that you know loves collecting 00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:33.739 cards. And of course, someone that you know who 00:46:33.739 --> 00:46:35.760 loves professional wrestling. It would mean the 00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:37.699 absolute world to me. Doesn't matter. I want 00:46:37.699 --> 00:46:39.719 to try to grow this, like I said before, one 00:46:39.719 --> 00:46:41.860 episode at a time. And any way you can help me 00:46:41.860 --> 00:46:43.639 do that would be greatly, greatly appreciated. 00:46:43.699 --> 00:46:45.519 So please hit that follow button.
