1:32
What are your goals for next year?
1:36
I feel like I reset my goals, but I'm not talking about my
1:39
podcast goals, I'm talking about my personal goals.
1:43
What are your personal goals for next year?
1:48
So this year I started out with a goal in mind and that is to
1:51
focus on my mental health. Somewhere along the road to that
1:56
goal I swerved into a detour and made many turns to get to this
2:02
point where I'm at right now. I took some time off from the
2:06
podcast, took a much needed vacation road trip to another
2:10
state. The vacation was much needed The
2:16
the, you know, everything to clear my head was much needed as
2:20
well. Everything to clear my head was
2:25
much needed as well. But I came back and continued to
2:29
do what I love to do. This year was a set back.
2:34
I'm going to say that right now. It was a lot of set back ups and
2:39
downs. Too many downs.
2:40
Way too many downs. COVID finally cut up to me.
2:49
It sucked. My diabetes came back with a
2:52
vengeance. That sucked too, and one of my
2:56
dogs passed away. My best friend, my boy.
3:02
This is still not easy to talk about, but he gave me the best
3:04
17 years a guy could ask for. Weeks later I saw Ladybug on the
3:12
ceiling and I was told it was a loved one coming to see you.
3:16
I knew it was him. Of course, COVID sucks.
3:23
COVID. COVID.
3:23
COVID will always suck. Doesn't really matter.
3:27
Just whatever. That wasn't an issue.
3:29
I knew I would get better. I don't really care.
3:32
Talk about that. I took care of myself and took a
3:37
few weeks off from any form of social media while I was ill
3:42
Done. What I do care about is my
3:46
diabetes. I for sure thought I had
3:49
handled. I guess the big challenge
3:53
workout at the beginning of the year wasn't enough.
3:55
I was down for the count. For those wondering, several
4:00
years ago I created a workout challenge with several dozen
4:02
online friends. It was a group effort, lots of
4:06
accountability. Someone took those stats and
4:10
made a copy of the challenge and I for sure thought I was going
4:16
to be able to hang out, but I held my own.
4:19
I'm not shedding on it. I really am not shedding on it.
4:24
It was its own thing. I shouldn't have said you can
4:29
have it. I shouldn't have said I'm
4:32
passing down the torch. I shouldn't have said I'm going
4:36
to retire because I miss it. I I miss making challenges.
4:45
I miss making myself a cannibal. I miss working out the way I had
4:53
those workouts. So I shouldn't have said that.
4:59
I'm going back on that. I'm going back on that word, I
5:02
guess, Oops, my bad. And the other thing I wanted to
5:08
do was interview those people that were in the challenge, but
5:12
nothing came of it. They were scared.
5:14
They didn't know what to do. They what's the podcast?
5:19
Come on like? Yeah, sure, I'll do it.
5:22
No, you didn't do it. I'll go more in debt on this
5:28
challenge in another episode. But I hate to suppose the part
5:32
that the diabetes does come back.
5:34
Even after I tried everything this year, it was bad.
5:45
So this is the part where I ask, what are your goals for next
5:49
year? As of right now, I'm sitting on
5:53
what I should do for next year. Do I start another challenge and
5:59
bring back every crucial move I ever did?
6:02
And along with that, talk about another podcast and include
6:06
streamers that I've met throughout the year.
6:12
Or do I start a solo challenge and worry about myself but
6:16
possibly motivate others? What should I do?
6:24
I've always said I was going to do things, but I never said them
6:26
on the podcast. Those things that I did say on
6:29
the podcast, I take accountability and I end up
6:32
doing them. The whole This podcast about to
6:37
become big in the next five years starts in January.
6:40
I am accountable for that. However, my health is a
6:46
different story. Over the weekend, there was a
6:51
tweet from a podcast account that the person behind the
6:55
podcast had passed away due to cancer.
6:59
My heartfelt condolences go out to her friends and family.
7:05
Her podcast was called Quirky Jams Podcast Happiness in Living
7:09
Life to the Fullest. What a great title for a
7:15
podcast. It was about mindset,
7:18
motivation, health and fitness. I went to check her Instagram,
7:25
her post and saw the many messages she has received and
7:31
what kind of legacy she is leaving behind.
7:36
All I kept thinking is that she lived her life to the fullest
7:42
until she couldn't anymore and she talked about it on her
7:46
podcast. She lived her life.
7:53
A podcast colleague has fallen and all I can do is just sit
7:56
here and say my condolences. So what am I going to leave
8:03
behind when I go? A little dark, I know, But hey,
8:08
I know the person that said I was going to die September 23rd,
8:11
2028 was rude about it. We know I'm not going to take
8:16
that seriously and I shouldn't have listened.
8:19
Of course I didn't. But I did call it the expiration
8:23
date of the podcast, that that's probably the final time I will
8:30
ever do a podcast if it doesn't blow up.
8:33
But what I'm going to leave behind if a tragic event does
8:38
happen to me, what am I going to leave behind?
8:42
The podcast is my legacy. I'm going to leave behind with
8:46
lots to say, lots of opinions, lots of bad takes, lots of good
8:50
takes, wrestling, anything for that matter.
8:54
Whatever. Lots of interviews with friends,
8:57
lots of interviews that I want to do.
9:00
But overall, I want to make sure it was a journal for me for all
9:05
the things I have ever accomplished wrestling with
9:11
diabetes. Part one and two and three
9:14
talked about my fight and how I came back from it, but I have
9:18
yet to talk about the in Between stuff.
9:22
The story's not over, the story hasn't ended.
9:29
So what are my goals for next year?
9:34
I still have Greg Plitt on my mind.
9:37
He was a motivation for me. He was my inspiration.
9:43
He passed away back in 2015. But I still have his words on my
9:47
mind. I still have his words echoing,
9:51
echoing throughout my head. Grab your nuts and be it.
9:58
You heard him on the last episode.
10:01
I want to be this. I want to be that.
10:03
Well, then grab your fucking nuts and be it.
10:08
I went back to check those speeches on YouTube.
10:10
I remembered why I was so pumped to go to the gym every day after
10:14
work. I remembered why I wanted to
10:16
blog about my workouts. I remembered why I wanted to
10:21
blog about my workouts and my accomplishment.
10:25
I remembered why I was so excited to talk about my
10:27
attainable goals, and it got me thinking.
10:32
This podcast right here, this podcast is my new blog.
10:38
I can talk freely about this on the podcast.
10:42
I can new I can reach new people that I want to live a healthy
10:47
lifestyle or want to get rid of their diabetes like I do.
10:51
I can talk freely about movies, TV shows, video games, horror
10:57
movies, glow. I can reach people with this
11:06
podcast, with this blog. So my goals for next year.
11:11
And yes, I am the type of person that if I say it on the podcast,
11:15
it has to happen now because I said it.
11:19
It's how I felt at the time. It's how I should feel as I know
11:23
how I should go along with it. My goals for next year start
11:29
working out again. I understand someone said start
11:34
working out now, but my OCD is there.
11:38
My OCD is saying you can't start in the middle of the year.
11:43
In the middle of December. In the middle of the week, start
11:53
January 1st. Do everything just the same way
12:01
that the podcast turns 2 years old January 2nd at the same
12:07
time. Start there.
12:10
Do everything I used to do back in 2019-2020 and 2021.
12:14
Bring back challenges. Bring back workout challenges.
12:21
Challenge myself. Challenge others.
12:24
Challenge to see who else can do it with me.
12:29
Here's what I have Treadmill, battle ropes, a medicine ball,
12:34
weight jump rope, and the floors.
12:40
I challenge you, the listeners. You're all my accountability
12:46
partners. I challenge you all to make me
12:50
accountable. I challenge you all to come with
12:56
me, to join me. I'm coming to you to tell you
13:00
what I'm going to do in return. I wanted you to check in on me
13:03
once in a while. I know who's going to check on
13:07
me already, but I want you to check on me.
13:11
I know Menace is going to check in on me.
13:17
I will have questions, of course.
13:19
You You can answer them if you want.
13:21
You can message me or answer to the podcast, e-mail, or just
13:25
catch me in a stream and tell me there.
13:28
But this is what I'm planning to do for next year.
13:31
This is my challenge. These are my goals.
13:33
These are my plans. This will be my legacy.
14:29
Welcome back to the podcast. I am your host Evil, and you are
14:33
listening to a brand spanking new episode of From Under the
14:39
Apron. I know I said I was going to
14:41
take a break, but I couldn't keep away.
14:44
I have a job to do. This is my job, this podcast,
14:49
this right here. This is my career now.
14:53
I blog. I talk and stream about
14:55
wrestling, so I need to podcast about it on this show.
15:00
I am recapping season one, episode 8 of GLOW on Netflix.
15:05
Pretty soon I'm gonna talk about wrestling and what is going on.
15:08
And so I'm excited for that. But I want to get these episodes
15:12
out because people no. You know, Menace.
15:18
Mainly Menace. She's the only one watching
15:22
along with me. Menace has been telling me she
15:24
loves GLOW and she's now season two.
15:26
Wait for me, ma'am, You can't. No, hey, calm.
15:30
Calm down. Simmer down a little bit, manas.
15:34
I'm not even there yet, but I love to hear that she loves the
15:37
show because of the recaps I'm doing.
15:40
So season one, episode 8. Maybe it's all the disco
15:47
sinasis. Jenny whips up a party for
15:49
Sheila's birthday, while Sam helps Ruth deal with a new
15:52
complication in her personal life.
15:55
Mark changes his tune with Debbie.
15:58
It was directed by Sean Heater. She is a writer and producer
16:02
known for Coda in 2021, Orange is the New Black in 2013 in
16:06
Little America in 2020. The writer for this episode was
16:10
Nick Jones, who is known for GLOW.
16:12
Orange is the New Black and Dulo.
16:16
Guest stars are Rich Summer as Mark Egan, of course Debbie's
16:21
husband, and Alex Rich as Florian Bash's male Butler.
16:26
Assistant person. There's another guest star, but
16:30
she's a cameo, and I'll point her out when we get there.
16:37
The show opens on Sam and Rhonda arriving at the wrestling gym.
16:41
They're discussing their favorite James Bond actors.
16:45
Sam like Rodger Lassenby, but Rhonda thinks Rodger Moore is by
16:49
far the best. Bond Lassenby, who played James
16:53
Bond only once in the film franchise On Her Majesty's
17:00
Secret Service in 1969. Roger Moore played Bond in
17:04
several 7 films between 1973 and 1979.
17:09
Sam and Rhonda get out of the car and he tells her that nobody
17:12
thinks that and she says that she does and he does.
17:15
Hasn't even seen a view to a kill.
17:18
He replies that he saw Moonraker and there was a pigeon that did
17:22
a double take. She giggles at the joke.
17:27
It wasn't a joke, she there was a pigeon that did a double take.
17:30
Like what the fuck? He asked her to hang back,
17:34
saying it doesn't look professional if they go in
17:37
together. She says that it isn't that
17:40
they're shagging, and he replied that they need to look
17:43
professional. Nevertheless, she asked why she
17:46
needs to hang back and he says he's the director and can't be
17:48
late, so he goes in. Tammy approaches, asking what
17:53
she's doing. Rhonda replies that she's just
17:56
waiting, that Sam doesn't want them to talk.
17:58
Walk in together. Tammy says.
18:00
She's not touching that one as she walks in through the doors
18:02
of the gym. Inside the gym, the girls all
18:07
work out. Debbie's being particularly
18:09
vigorious with an exercise ball, and Ruth asked if she's OK if
18:14
everything was all right with Mark.
18:17
Vigorious. I love that word.
18:19
Vigorously. Vigorous.
18:22
Workout, You know, with vigor, Such vigor.
18:29
Debbie says that it's fine. She's just upset that they
18:31
didn't get to do the move that they practice the moonsault.
18:35
Was it a moonsault or was it like a crossbody?
18:38
It was a crossbody block. Come on.
18:42
Ruth says she can stay after if she wants to work on it more,
18:45
but Debbie says that she can't. She says that next time she just
18:50
won't get distracted. Ruth goes back to working out,
18:53
but Debbie gives Ruth this annoyed look.
18:56
Like, why are you here? Why are you sitting next to her?
18:58
Why are you sitting? Why just Debbie just doesn't
19:02
want to be friends again? Like you fucked up, go away, go
19:07
somewhere else. Sam interrupts the group and
19:11
tells him that the match on Friday was a success and they'll
19:14
have a butterfly hit. If they keep it up.
19:17
They cheer and he says there's still stuff to do.
19:19
Before the shoot. Carmen asked if they're shooting
19:22
it there, and he says they're definitely not.
19:25
He says that he's going today with Bash to look at a venue.
19:29
It's expensive, but Bash is the one signing the checks.
19:34
Carmen has this worried look on her face.
19:36
She knows Bash doesn't have the money anymore.
19:39
So, you know, might as well speak up now before everything
19:43
goes to shit. Sam says that today they're
19:46
going to focus on selling the drama.
19:49
He tells Fortune Cookie he wants more anger and less sword play,
19:53
as he doesn't want to just be about her prop, but he suggests
19:56
to Sheila to get some claws props for her.
20:01
Melrose thinks that sounds very dangerous.
20:03
He says yes, very dangerous. He tells Cherry and Tammy that
20:09
they gave memorable performances and that he was hooked.
20:14
But there's no world in which the KKK members will be
20:17
wrestling on television, even cable television.
20:21
He tells them to get with Don and Stacy and figure out
20:24
something else. Rhonda finally walks in.
20:27
Sam looks at his watch, and he tells her that she's late.
20:32
Rhonda looks annoyed as the glow logo pops up on the screen in
20:39
the locker rooms. Daisy asks Ruth if she has a
20:41
tampon. Ruth says no.
20:43
Ari throws one. That's Stacy, who says it looks
20:45
like a diaper. Melrose says it's actually a
20:47
neck brace. As she puts it on her neck, Ari
20:50
tells Stacy she's trying to protect her from toxic shock
20:53
syndrome. Stacy says she can't move in.
20:55
That thing, Ari says. Well at work today, she had her
21:00
in a head. Scissors.
21:02
Stacy's disgusted. Melrose gives Stacy 1.
21:05
Rhonda asks for one as well as Reggie.
21:09
Melrose says that they're on the same cycle and start drumming
21:12
with the compound and singing. They're finally the team,
21:15
They're finally on the team. Justine, however, is less than
21:19
amused and says Sisters of the Moon rejoice.
21:23
Ruth just looks uncomfortable. She walks over to Sheila and
21:26
sees her holding a card. Sheila explains that they are
21:30
lottery scratch cards for her birthday from her aunt.
21:33
Jenny comes out of the stall with her sword on her back
21:37
because you know you have to pee in a stall with a sword on her
21:42
back. OK, asking just what it was that
21:48
she said. Sheila asked her not to make a
21:51
big deal about it, but Jenny gasp and tells everyone that's
21:54
Sheila's birthday. Everyone wishes her a happy
21:55
birthday. She asked why she didn't say
21:59
anything. Sheila waves her off saying that
22:01
it's fine, everything is fine. Jenny asked her to let her
22:05
handle it. Please kill me, says Sheila.
22:08
Jenny replies that she wants on her birthday and rushes off to
22:11
start planning a party. All this while Ruth continued to
22:14
stare herself in the mirror, wondering if something is wrong
22:17
with her body. Oh, there's definitely something
22:19
wrong with your body, you just have to wait and see.
22:23
Sam calls Florian, asking him if his master is home.
22:27
Florian replies that he hasn't seen Bash for three days.
22:32
Sam says that he thought it was Florian's job to keep tabs on
22:35
Bash, but Florian replies that he's just supposed to answer
22:38
When Bash rings the bell, nobody's rung it for three days.
22:44
Sam says that if he does ring the bell to tell him he needs to
22:46
talk to him and hang his up. Ruth comes in.
22:49
She tells him that what happened during the live performance was
22:52
a fluke, that she and Devi have been doing great together, and
22:55
she thinks that they will triumph.
22:57
Sam says he knows he's met her. Ruth turns to leave, but he
23:02
asked to talk to her for a second, asking if he and Rhonda
23:05
are really conspicuous. Conspicuous.
23:08
Conspicuous, right, That's how you say it, She says.
23:12
She's not sure what he means. He explains that normally when
23:15
he sleeps with an actress, they keep quiet, but she doesn't care
23:19
and is reckless. Ruth says that with 14 women,
23:23
everyone talks. Sam Curtis is saying he has to
23:27
break up with her because he feels like he's losing his
23:29
authority. He asked her to come see his
23:32
idea for a new venue with her. Since bashes incommunicado, she
23:37
says she would be honored to be a part of decision making
23:39
processing. Tell her he just needs someone
23:41
to disagree with so he that he can clarify his own instincts.

Next scene Debbie comes home. Mark is feeding baby Randy.
25:47
She has marked the divorce papers that he gave her.
25:50
She tells him it's signed, sealed, and notarized.
25:53
Fuck you have a nice life. Debbie looks at Randy and
25:56
whisper says she loves him. He tears up the papers saying he
26:01
doesn't accept it. She asked how he could not,
26:04
seeing that he's the one who served her.
26:06
He says he was freaking out, that he couldn't even find her
26:08
and had to get some power back. She said that it's too late,
26:12
that she already made another copy and send it to her lawyer.
26:16
He says that no lawyer will let her sign a document guaranteeing
26:19
him 10% of all her future income.
26:23
He says it was a dramatic gesture and that he also claimed
26:26
she was having an affair with Brett Reynolds.
26:29
Baby Randy plays a stick of celery in his little tray and he
26:32
looks horrid with food all over his face.
26:35
Mark says he never actually intended to hand the papers to
26:38
her. He just got mad.
26:40
She says that she's glad they never kept a gun in the house,
26:42
calling him miniature fuck and please do something about
26:44
Randy's face. She asked for a paper towel so
26:47
she can do it herself. She takes away the cellular
26:50
streak, pointing out that Randy has no teeth.
26:54
He says she's entitled to her anger, explaining that he's been
26:57
given going to therapy twice a week with a cognitive behavior
27:01
therapist named Linda. He says he's been trying to work
27:04
on his issue so that she'll consider working on our
27:06
marriage. He asked her to start by staying
27:09
for dinner. She says she's not ready to come
27:12
home, and he tells her he's not asking for that.
27:16
He says he'll put Randy to bed and even cook.
27:18
She asks when is that he cooks and he tells her, says his wife
27:21
left him. Ruth and Sam go to exam the new
27:26
venue. The promoter, Amber Fredrickson,
27:30
says that they had sticks canceled at the last minute.
27:33
Doe didn't hear from her. Ruth is stunned by the look of
27:38
it, and not in a good way. Sam explains that it used to be
27:41
a porno theater, and Ruth prefies that it must have been
27:44
the golden age of whacking off. She asked if it was Aztec porn,
27:48
and Amber says it was Mayan, part of the Mayan revival
27:51
movement during the 20s. Ruth asked that the movement
27:54
involved blood sacrifice. Amber says that it's 9000 for
27:58
the space and she would need 4500 to hold the booking.
28:03
She tells them to take their time and walks off.
28:06
Amber here is played by his singer, actress, legendary
28:09
daughter of Hulk Hogan, star of her own reality show on VH1
28:14
2008, Brooke Knows Best. She also starred in the 2012
28:18
movie 2 Headed Shark Attack and appeared on the challenge Champ
28:21
Versus stars Ladies and Gentlemen.
28:27
Her first studio album, Undiscovered, was released in
28:29
2006. It was preceded by the single
28:33
About Us which entered the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100
28:38
chart. Brooke Hogan, Brooke Freaking
28:43
Hogan, Ruth comments at the place looked great in Indiana
28:47
Jones and the Temple of Doom. Dan does an imitation of Indiana
28:51
Jones. He asks what's wrong with her,
28:54
saying she's there as a sounding board.
28:56
She says it's not what she pictured, and he replies that
28:59
she's not the director. She asks what it is he's
29:02
picturing. He explains his vision, saying
29:04
that he wants to go big and visceral, like a rock concert.
29:08
He will leave enough room on the side of the stage so he can go
29:11
in there with the handheld camera so that they can feel the
29:14
struggle, the drama, the victory and the defeat.
29:18
Ruth chimes in with the glitter. Sam asked if she's making fun of
29:23
him, and she says no. He asked her for her honest
29:26
opinion, and she says it's perfect, Sam says.
29:29
Told you the theater was actually the host for Lucha
29:33
Vavoom, which was a wrestling company mixed with burlesque
29:38
shows. OK, not only a wrestling
29:42
company, it was a luchador wrestling company mixed with
29:45
burlesque shows. They had high flying luchadors
29:50
and half naked women. They return to the hotel and
29:55
Ruth just sits in the car. Sam asks if he's waiting for him
29:58
to open the door for her and she tells him that she just doesn't
30:01
want to race the rest of the day.
30:03
Rhonda approaches and says that they all have shit they must
30:07
face. He says there's no point in
30:10
putting it off that now is as good as time.
30:12
Then he she tells him not to be mean and gets out.
30:18
He tells Rhonda to get in, and they'll take a drive.
30:22
Ruth goes to a store, picks up a pregnancy test.
30:27
Holy shit, she's pregnant with Mark.
30:32
Ruth encountered Melrose, who is looking for tampons.
30:34
She pretends to be doing the same thing.
30:36
Melrose asks if she's coming with, and she claims to be
30:39
looking for a birthday present for Sheila.
30:42
Melrose quips. Maybe deodorant or a free
30:44
caller. She says she's very bloated by
30:49
and walks away. Back at the hotel, some of the
30:51
other girls are getting ready for the party.
30:54
Jenny talks about how she didn't have birthdays back in Cambodia.
30:58
Ruth returns asking. She's seeing the decorations.
31:02
Jenny says that they don't know where she is, but they'll find
31:04
her. Ruth goes inside and takes the
31:07
pregnancy test. It takes 30 minutes, so she has
31:10
time to kill. It's an 80 pregnancy test, so it
31:15
looks like a chemistry set with lots of equipment.
31:19
What a project. I just know now you have to pee
31:22
on a stick and find out in minutes, right?
31:25
Is that a thing? This little project had its own
31:31
music montage playing under pressure by Queen and David
31:34
Bowie. Ruth getting confused over the
31:36
instructions that look like a map.
31:42
Sheila comes in and she tells her that everyone's looking for
31:44
her. Sheila says that she knows, and
31:47
that's why she was in the woods, or at least a junkyard with
31:50
chivalry. She plans to sleep there, if
31:53
only she can find her toothbrush.
31:55
Ruth runs to the bathroom saying she forgot to flush.
31:58
She tells Sheila that she's never seen Jenny to determine
32:00
about anything. That is a new and terrifying
32:03
side. Ruth flushes the toilet, looks
32:05
at the chemistry site, waiting for results.
32:08
Sheila compares Jenny to perfume people at the mall.
32:12
As Jenny bangs on the door outside, Ruth binds out that the
32:14
pregnancy test is in fact positive.
32:20
The baby belongs to Mark. Jenny begs Ruth to tell Sheila
32:24
to go to her party, and Ruth tell Sheila that she should go,
32:27
that it'll be fun. Sheila agrees to go if Ruth
32:31
will. Jenny asked if Ruth is indeed
32:33
going. She finally comes out of the
32:35
bathroom saying that she is of course going.
32:37
They all leave and Ruth is down Nervously.
32:41
Sheila comes back in, asking if she really is coming.
32:44
Ruth tells her she's right behind her.
32:46
Sheila closed the door, another shot of Ruth in anxiety mode.
32:51
Next scene, Sam and Rhonda just finished having sex.
32:57
I was closed. I was going to say Sanda Ram,
33:01
All right, whatever. Next scene, Sam and Rhonda just
33:05
finished having sex, he says. It's like a murder scene under
33:08
his sheath and he'll have to dock her paycheck.
33:11
She tells him that she can never tell when he's kidding or just
33:13
being mean. He says he can't either, and she
33:16
tells him that she feels like it isn't working.
33:19
He says it's fantastic that she's going to do it for him.
33:23
She starts to get dressed in her fancy, going out of tire.
33:26
He says he knows that she was just shagging him because she
33:28
wanted things like a bigger part in the horse.
33:31
She tells him that she wasn't saying that she did want a
33:34
horse, but it wasn't why she was shagging him.
33:38
It was supposed to be fun, but he's always paranoid.
33:41
She thought he was sweet, smart, funny and sexy.
33:44
After seeing his dating video, he asked how she saw that, and
33:48
she said there was a screening with the girls.
33:51
He gets out of bed and asks if they can reset if she really
33:54
does like him, and she tells him she's not a robot, that she can
33:57
be rebooted. He asked if he wants to go over
34:00
his bad history with women. She tell him that she has to go,
34:04
that she has birthday. He says he'll go with her and
34:07
get a cake. She tells him that he doesn't
34:10
actually like her, that he's just afraid to be alone.
34:14
He asks what she means. He just had period sex with her.
34:17
She leaves. Oh my God.
34:23
The next scene, the girls at her rolling skating rink.
34:27
Ruth tells Sheila that sometimes you just have to trick yourself
34:30
into believing you're having a good time.
34:32
If you pretend you're having the best time in the world, then
34:35
maybe you will. They head to the floor, cherry
34:39
skating by and telling them to not be scared.
34:41
They head onto the rink. Carmen is sulking and Stacy
34:45
asked if she's upset about the match, telling her that they're
34:48
there to have fun. Sheila Lita's group smiling.
34:52
She howls, starting to get into sings.
34:54
Everyone howls along. Ruth stands at the edge of the
34:58
rink, watching the group. She watches as a mom is teaching
35:01
her young song how to skate and feels bad.
35:04
She stumbles out and and Rhonda, just arriving, asked if she's
35:07
leaving. Ruth says that she's not feeling
35:10
well, that maybe it was all the curly fries.
35:13
Rhonda suggests that it could be all the disco, or maybe she's
35:17
pregnant. Ruth chuckles weekly.
35:21
Cherry says that she's glad nobody springs their ankles,
35:23
that usually at least get injured After practice from
35:27
goofing off. Carmen replies that they're not.
35:30
At least Cherry asks how she's in a better mood than her.
35:33
She says there are a bunch of girls making a wrestling show
35:35
that's probably not going to happen.
35:38
Cherry asks why they would be, and Carmen points out that
35:41
sometimes shows just don't get on the air or there are problems
35:45
with money. Cherry asks if there are
35:48
problems with money. Hey, it's evil.
36:00
We're going to get back to the episode you're listening to.
36:02
But first let me tell you about Dark Freak creations.
36:06
Dark Freak creations are candles that are vibrant, colorful
36:10
marble tops, amazing mouth watering fragrances fueled by
36:15
lovely braided cotton wigs. Paper threads woven into every
36:19
cotton wig for a clean, romantic, slow and consistent
36:23
burn. Each candle is unique from the
36:26
next as they are hand mixed and hand poured right in Grass
36:29
Valley, CA. They use only coconut and soy
36:33
waxes for a safer, cleaner and longer burn time.
36:38
That's almost 72 hours That's like binging on all 130 episodes
36:41
of the podcast. All fragrance blends have been
36:45
heavily researched. Dark recreations not only care
36:47
about the look, fragrance and quality of their candles and
36:50
their other products, but also the effects they have in their
36:53
customers homes. So go to darkrecreations.com.

podcast that dives into people and the movies who love them.

39:36
Melrose says that she's horrified the ring doesn't have
39:39
a bar, As if they can't steak, as if they can't skate and drink
39:44
at the same time. Cherry comments that Melrose can
39:47
barely skate sober. Jenny brings up a birthday cake
39:50
with 106 on it. She asks where the birthday girl
39:53
is, but Sheila's still in the rink, skating her heart out.
39:57
Jenny shouts out that it's time for the cake, but Sheila waves
40:01
her off. Reggie realizes that 106 is
40:04
Sheila's age in dog years, calling it thoughtful and weird.
40:09
Stacy says that it's actually wolf years, and Don agrees that
40:12
if she were a dog, she'd be 87. Wolves die young.
40:17
Jenny shouts for Sheila again. And Tammy tells her to let her
40:21
skate that she's having a happy birthday.
40:24
She did her job, so Jenny blows out the candles herself.
40:28
Back at Debbie's, Mark is finishing off a salad.
40:32
She asked if this is part of her new hymn or just another gesture
40:36
to show he's capable of change. He says he's on a diet which
40:40
started last week. She says she is too one that
40:44
started when she was 14. She asked what she did to make
40:48
him hate her. He says he doesn't.
40:50
She asked what it was she did in that case to make space in the
40:54
relationship for him to sleep with someone else.
40:57
He says that she stopped sleeping with him or even
41:00
talking with him. It's not an excuse, but he
41:02
remembers thinking how many days she can go without touching him
41:06
or asking how her the day was. It was 42 days.
41:11
She replies that she just had a baby and she he says that this
41:14
was way before Randy. She asked why they started a
41:18
family if they were so miserable.
41:21
He says that they thought they could make things better and he
41:24
thinks they still can. She sobs and sniffles.
41:29
He asked her to hug her. He asked her to hug him, but she
41:34
says she won't let him. He says that it's therapeutic
41:38
leaning that his therapist taught it to him.
41:41
She asked why he was hugging. She asks why he was hugging his
41:46
therapist. Weird, he answers.
41:48
Because it helps. They try it, he says.
41:51
They're supposed to do it for 30 seconds at a time, three times a
41:54
day. She tells him not to push his
41:57
luck back. At her motel, Ruth makes a call.
42:03
She tells the person on the other end of the line that she's
42:06
sorry to bother him, but she didn't know who else to call.
42:10
She waits outside the motel, and Sam pulls up.
42:13
She gets in. She has a small drag of Sam's
42:16
cigarette. He tells her that he broke up
42:18
with Rhonda, that it seemed to be the right thing to do.
42:22
He says he tried to be nice about it, but she got emotional.
42:27
They just sit in silence. They arrive at a Planned
42:30
Parenthood clinic where Ruth has a 10:00 AM appointment.
42:34
The secretary says that the doctor will answer any questions
42:36
her boyfriend might have. And Sam planning that he's not
42:39
her boyfriend, he's her husband. He says it just wasn't the right
42:44
time for them. He could have pulled out, but he
42:47
just got lazy. He says it's lucky they both had
42:50
children. Fuck them kids, right?
42:54
She tells him to have a seat. Ruth says he's sure it's not how
42:59
he wanted to spend his morning. He says he'll go get Donuts
43:03
while she's in there. She asked for pink frosting.
43:06
He asked if she's 12. She says she's like pink
43:09
frostings. He says if she likes pink things
43:12
a little less, maybe they wouldn't be there right now.
43:16
He says he feels like he's supposed to ask her if this is
43:19
what she wants as her husband. She nod, saying that it is that
43:25
it's not the right time, not the right name, not the right baby.
43:29
Her name is called, and she tells him not to come back
43:32
without doughnuts. He says he'll wait, that she can
43:35
pick them out herself. She puts on her Zoya gimmick,
43:40
saying that his Soviet Union abortion is the only thing
43:44
there's no line for. He smirks.
43:47
She smiles back. He sits down reading a magazine.
43:51
She goes inside and has a procedure.
43:53
The doctor asks her questions, if this is what she truly want
43:57
and if she's comfortable with the decision to end her
43:59
pregnancy. Ruth says yes.
44:02
The doctor tells her that she's going to give her an injection
44:05
next to her cervix. It will numb her uterus and she
44:08
will start to feel a little pressure.
44:10
The doctor asked Ruth if she this makes sense, and Ruth
44:13
quietly replies that she's a wrestler.
44:16
The doctor quizzes it. Ruth replies back with yes.
44:19
She understands. Ruth looks up at the ceiling,
44:22
trying to relax. That's the last shot you see as
44:25
the episode ends. She's a wrestler.
44:29
What she means by that is she's bumping.
44:31
She's been bumping. She's been fucking bumping for
44:33
several weeks now that she's nubbed to the pain.
44:36
She enjoys the pain. She used to the pain by now, so
44:39
you know, you might as well just inject that thing.
44:41
It's like it's not going to hurt with what I've been through.
44:46
She can take on injection during her cervix, right?
44:50
But that last shot of her looking up the ceiling with one
44:53
square of it that looks like clouds kind of felt like
44:57
heavenly, while everything else was white.
45:02
I didn't want to say this at the start of the show because it
45:05
felt it would have spoiled it with Root going to the clinic
45:07
and having an abortion. But I thought this episode was a
45:10
good episode, a good moment to recognize that this isn't what
45:14
she need because it's from Mark and that was her best friend's
45:18
husband. It would be something if Debbie
45:20
ended up finding out about the baby and the abortion and how
45:24
she would feel about both. I've only seen this episode once
45:30
when it came out, but recently I'm watching them twice.
45:33
The first one is my initial reaction.
45:35
The second one is anything I might have missed the first time
45:39
around. In 2017 I didn't even realize
45:41
Amber was played by Brooke Hogan because she looks so different
45:44
with that hair. Same with Carlito and his hair.
45:47
Like what the hell, they're like 80s version of themselves.
45:50
I love it. I love re watching these and
45:53
then looking up what the actresses have to say about the
45:56
first season and how they enjoy the show.
45:59
So more of that will be coming soon.
46:03
Next episode will probably be towards the end of the year and
46:06
we'll probably just talk about wrestling one more time.
46:11
I'll have a special guest, one that hasn't been on the show
46:13
yet. So it's gonna be an interview
46:15
and a year in review. So I'm very excited about that.
