This bar, this podcast started off as me talking about what I
2:23
love, and that was. Wrestling.
2:25
It was named All Sayings Wrestling as generic.
2:29
As it may have. Sounded.

2:56
Ah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
2:58
Blah. And then?
2:59
Few episodes. With Michael, my Co host.
3:04

3:14
More than a dozen. Other podcasts called All.
3:18
Singing expressly. Yeah, I, I fucked up.
3:22

4:10
that one scissor incident between Sid.
4:14

4:18
It never happened until. Months later, so it it.
4:23

4:57
Oh, you know, like real life. Took a turn.
5:01
He needed to go and do the. Stuff.
5:04
I needed to take a break. And in the middle.
5:08
We took that break and we. Pivoted and we found, but we
5:13
found a good replacement name basically during the whole under
5:19
the apron saying because there was already from under the
5:25
apron, but that was a problem. People kept.
5:31
Referring to it as oh, you mean under the apron.
5:36
No. People couldn't find it.
5:39
Because they kept. Sinking It was under the apron
5:42
when we. Specifically.
5:43
Told them from under apron and they're like what do you mean I
5:49
was like. You have to add.
5:50
The first word. In there from.
5:53
Oh, OK. And usually.
5:56

5:59
Me. Is it the one with the green
6:01
apron logo and now no shot at the?
6:06
Restaurant business podcast that.
6:08
Named we shared. Because I fucked up again, I
6:12

6:15
it. But the name of the title?
6:18

6:19
You know it, the name sounded. Great at the time.
6:22
From under the apron. Under the apron is where you
6:25

6:30
In wrestling, right? So that was from under the apron
6:34
even. Hornswoggle.
6:36
Hornswoggle. Lives down there.
6:37
That was our. Saying we were going with it.
6:40
It. Shit the bit again.
6:46
So. You know with then.
6:52
Came those that asked. What does an apron have to do
6:55
with wrestling And if you're a. Wrestling.
7:00
If you love wrestling like I do. If you know all about wrestling.
7:03
If we talked about. Wrestling.
7:05
You would know. What an apron has to do with
7:08
wrestling? But.
7:09
Those that don't know. Those that asked.
7:12
About my you know. My podcast Oh What's?
7:14
Your Car podcast. About about wrestling.
7:17
Why is it called from under the apron then?
7:19
What does apron have to? Do with a ring.
7:22
What's the name of the ring? So non wrestling casualists will
7:28
get a. Hold of my podcast.
7:29
And be like oh. This is your podcast.
7:31
Oh, I didn't know you had a podcast.
7:35
So. Then you know you wouldn't.
7:37
Be able to understand what I'm saying if you.
7:41
I am so glad you know about my podcast but.
7:44
You know, unfortunately if you're asking that question,
7:47
then the podcast isn't. For you, sorry to say.
7:54
I mean, there's apron around the ring.
7:57
The name of the ring is. Called the apron.
8:00
Even on commentary they would call it from.
8:03
Underneath the ring apron and we.
8:04
Would get all excited. Because.
8:06
They're saying our podcast. Never mind.
8:10
I again I told. You I again lost that battle.
8:14
And I shipped the bed. But instead I just I just kept
8:18
quiet. I was like here at the link.
8:20
Tree. Just followed the link tree, all
8:22
that stuff. I did that for two years.
8:25
You know. I did that.
8:27
For two whole years. I felt like right?
8:31
Now was the right. Time.
8:34
For the rebrand to do the rebranding one more time of the
8:37
podcast. Let's try for 1/3.
8:42
Time to rebrand. It let's.
8:47
Try for my third time my. 3rd place podcast Let's.
8:57
Try that one. And see how that?
8:59
Goes we've discussed rustling. For so long ago.
9:04
And I basically. Bring bringing up other.
9:07
Topics and just resting so. Yes, it was the right.
9:10
Time, and that was the. Reason for it?
9:16
And you know. Why my third place as I've?
9:20
Described it before Ray Ellenberg and urban sociologist
9:24
called once the 1st place. Your home.
9:27
The second place where you work. And the third place is where you
9:30
relax, where you encounter from other phases, or where you spend
9:33
most of your. Time getting to know people.
9:37
So yes, podcasting is where I spend most of my time.
9:41
And getting to know people. I wanted to talk.
9:45
About other topics other. Than wrestling and I felt like
9:48
from other the apron was just. About that, it was about
9:51
wrestling. It wouldn't.
9:54
It wouldn't bring me other. Places basically I.
9:58
Would give it to my. Friends, hey.
10:00
From under the apron. Come listen to it.
10:02
We're talking about. Horror movies.
10:05
What does? Horror movies have to.
10:06
Do with from under the apron. What does glow?
10:13
Have to do Netflix. Have to do from.
10:16
Under the apron. Netflix again, you know and that
10:24
that happened. I didn't I just.
10:25
Couldn't take it anymore. I I could.
10:28
But it just felt. Like, OK, you know what?
10:30
Let's. Rebrand.
10:32
Let's change it up again. Let's.
10:34
Do it for. One last time and.
10:38
I did. So here we are.
10:40
We're moving right along. We're pivoting.
10:42
My 3rd place podcast. Or M3P pod.
10:46
On something that I've been wanting.
10:48
To do for a while now the M3P network my. 3rd place network if
10:56
you're. A long time listener, you
10:57
probably heard the. Story but if.
10:59
You're new here. Welcome, welcome in.
11:04
And let me tell. You this I started off in 2022
11:07
I. Struggled I.
11:08
Clawed my way up. To get to this podcast.
11:12
To get this podcast. Off the ground with absolutely
11:15
no. Help.
11:16
Because nobody was. Willing to help?
11:20
Shit, I did it myself. Along the way I told my friends
11:24
about it. They heard of it, but they
11:26
weren't wrestling fans, although they were willing to.
11:29
Help. They're willing to.
11:31
Distribute it. They were willing to put it out
11:33
there. And say like he has a podcast.
11:35
Go listen to it. It's about wrestling.
11:38
Sorry, I know it's not. Your style of.
11:42
Podcasting, but hey. You can.
11:45
Listen to him, you can support him.
11:48
Halfway. Through the year.
11:49
Though I met other first. Time podcasters like myself.
11:52
And we helped. Each other out, we pushed.
11:54
Each other's podcasts. On our socials.
11:57
But it was. Only for a limited time, as some
12:00
of them felt. Their fans would abandoned them
12:03
and go search. Somewhere else I wasn't.
12:06
Looking for that I didn't care that my friends.
12:09
My fans. My.
12:10
Listeners would go listen somewhere else.
12:12
I would encourage it. I encouraged.
12:15
That I was looking for a network of.
12:17
People who were. Willing to help each other out,
12:21
Colleagues who were going to hype you up as well.
12:24
On their socials. So I started to ask for
12:26
trailers, their podcasts, so that.
12:28
I can insert it in between my episodes during breaks because I
12:33
know you're going to want to hear more podcasts other than my
12:36
own. So I thought let.
12:38
Me share with you. My listeners what I'm listening
12:42
to as well. And if you don't?
12:45
Like. Me or talking to about me,
12:49
talking about wrestling. Here's something else for you to
12:51
listen to. Here's true crime.
12:53
Here's video games. Here's horror movies.
12:59
I did that. I did that.
13:00
To like, get everybody of my listeners to listen.
13:04
To other podcasts. And.
13:07
Podcasters love that idea. But it didn't stop.
13:12
There there was a small group who created discord.
13:15
Page. And we all shared.
13:16
Each other's pod. The link tree bench.
13:19
Listened. On their podcast on.
13:21
Another. App.
13:24
Along the way, another group was formed and it got.
13:26
Bigger. It had like at least. 18
13:29
members, 18 podcasters Sharing, sharing, sharing, sharing and.
13:34
It I could barely keep up with it.
13:38
So I had to. Abandon it.
13:40
I'm sorry. I apologize for that.
13:42
As you can tell, I'm I'm not good with.
13:44
A big. Group of setting I'm good with
13:47
a. Small setting I'm good with.
13:49
What I have? But then came.
13:51
Podcasters and I. Got to know outside.
13:53
Of our podcast. As I've stated before, you all
13:57
heard the story. I was on Tumblr live because it
13:59
was a thing at the. Time and when I wanted to.
14:02
Create that community along. Came the pettiness, though.
14:06
Y'all heard that story and I don't want to tell it anymore.
14:09
Because it just seemed. Whatever.
14:12
And it's why I named. My squad, the fatherless.
14:15
Behavior Squad. It.
14:17
Merged everything. It's.
14:20
Let's not, it's not something. That we want to brag about again
14:25
if I want to make. It a better podcast.
14:29
So instead. M3P network?
14:32
My third place? Asked my friends.
14:36
My colleagues, the one I got to. Know outside the podcast.
14:40
If they need help. And if they do?
14:43
I can do that. I can help out.
14:45
By sharing their podcast. On my socials.
14:48
Expand. Expand.
14:50
We're going to expand on that. I asked my friend Shenrod.
14:54
You heard him. Episode nine he did the.
14:57
Tape distribution era. I asked him if he wanted to be a
15:00
part of the network. And he said sure.
15:02
Let's do it. Link it up.
15:06
He doesn't have a podcast but he has a twitch link.
15:08
He has a twitch. Page He.
15:10
Gamer. So.
15:13
You know he's looking for more followers and.
15:20
He's a big. Supporter of mine, he.
15:22
Tells his followers go. Listen to this podcast from
15:25
Under the Apron. He tells his followers.
15:28
On Instagram. Go check him out.
15:31
Go check out this. He tags me in every single
15:33
there, so you know why not? I'll put him on my link tree.
15:38
He'll put him in the network. He's a part of the network now.
15:42
Go check out his. Twitch link on the network.
15:45
Link tree. And you know, we can interact
15:50
with each other. I'll go to his page soon and
15:53
he'll come here and. Hang out and stuff.
15:57
Because that's what I. Want it to be my network of
16:01
friends. There's going to be more on that
16:03
in the weeks to come. There's going to be more people.
16:06
More. Podcasters, I have a.
16:08
Few up there so far. If you want to go check.
16:12
That's just the startup. If you want to see who is there
16:17
now, check out the link three at link.
16:19
Three.com slash. M3P Network.
16:22
Or you could check it. Out in the show.
16:24
Notes. It's all is good.
16:27
But I don't think any other podcasts are doing this at
16:30
least. You know, not the.
16:32
Ones I've been listening. To and I want to expand on this
16:38
idea. I want to give you a a road map
16:48
of what I'm doing in the next. Six months.
16:52
I want to give you a road map of what I want to do of.
16:55
What is coming up so? Here's the road map.
17:01
So here it is. This is what I plan on doing.
17:03
We will no longer be recording on the podcaster for.
17:07
Spotify app. In fact, the site has sent us
17:11
messages warning us that. Soon we will no.
17:13
Longer be able. To edit or record on the app.
17:18
It's been telling us it told us that it's going to.
17:21
End in June? Did it change to July?
17:24
It basically took a took. Out everything that we.
17:28
I don't know. It's a.
17:29
Weird. App OK.
17:32
It's weird. So instead it'll just be a.
17:37
Distribution site. And honestly, I still.
17:40
Don't know why I'm using it, I only.
17:42
Use it because I want to record. On here and it's.
17:46
Working so far, however. It's linking us to another app,
17:50
one that will. Help us record.
17:52
Edit and even post from it in order.
17:54
To get it to Spotify. So pretty soon you'll be hearing
17:58
a bunch of your favorite. Podcasters talk about how
18:01
they're. Recording with the Riverside.
18:02
App and how the Riverside app is so cool and all this so here
18:08
that's. Going to be me pretty soon.
18:09
That's going to be us. On top of that.
18:12
You will be able to. Go to this app.
18:14

18:18
You will get to see us live. You will get to see us.

18:32

18:47

18:52

18:55
Scheduling our podcast episodes. From now on another thing, we
19:00
are currently sitting at 12 point K downloads and you know
19:05

19:07

19:10
Goal. The goal?
19:11
From last year was 10K we. Got it through in January or
19:14

19:20
The end of the year. If not, hey.
19:23

19:35

19:38
Corporate Kai, horror movies, all that stuff.
19:42
And now? And since we're on the topic of
19:44
the we're on the subject of the topic, I'm going to still going
19:48
to be talking about wrestling, obviously, but let's change it
19:51
up a bit. Last year I.
19:53
Did an episode about. Music and how it it.
19:56
Affects us. It changes our.
19:57
Lives blah blah. All that stuff, whatever.
20:00
The code was awesome, but I. Still want to talk?
20:04
About music as well. With other people, I still want
20:10
to talk. About horror movies, TV.
20:11
Shows movies, video games. Comic books, including mental.
20:14

20:17
We can include whatever we want, anything we want to talk.
20:23

20:27
In the past month alone because of this.
20:30
