  All right, you ready to start this episode?
• 4:04
  It's going to be a long one. Yes.
• 4:07
  All right, let's go. I will tell you I probably will
• 4:10
  be moving locations if I need to, so fine, that's fine.
• 4:18
  You can always tell when a week is about to be a little bit of
• 4:21
  everything. Not just one big topic, but a
• 4:23
  mix of whatever life the Internet and the timeline
• 4:25
  decides to throw at you all at once.
• 4:28
  Welcome back to my third place. Not home, not work, but the
• 4:32
  familiar in between where nostalgia stories and
• 4:34
  conversations stretch out like late night on the couch while TB
• 4:37
  hum in the background. This is episode 287 and sitting
• 4:41
  here on the porch with me once again, Menace rocking chair
• 4:47
  locked in, still still 2 old heads on the front porch, ready
• 4:51
  to see where the conversation goes tonight because this
• 4:54
  episode is one of those let's see what happens kind of nice.
• 4:58
  We got a handful of things that we know we're diving into, and
• 5:02
  then we're leaving space for whatever news or randomness
• 5:04
  decides to pop up while we're recording.
• 5:06
  First up, we're checking in on the DIY and Marvel Rivals front
• 5:09
  binder project. How's it going with been added
• 5:11
  and how deep into the greater rabbit hole this thing has gone
• 5:14
  at this point? I got to tell you guys, awesome.
• 5:17
  Once you start building something like that, it's hard
• 5:18
  to stop. We're also talking about one of
• 5:21
  those moments I had the Internet doing the double take Karaoke
• 5:24
  Coachella with Justin Bieber as a sentence you probably didn't
• 5:29
  expect to hear, but here we are. We're going to what happened,
• 5:33
  how it looked, and why moments like that always seem to take
• 5:35
  over timelines. On the reading side of things,
• 5:38
  the journey continues with Dungeon Crawler Carl, and this
• 5:41
  time we're covering chapters 5 to 10.
• 5:45
  I don't know where I'm at. Well, we'll get we'll do a recap
• 5:49
  of it. So if you've been following
• 5:51
  along, you already know things escalate pretty quickly in that
• 5:53
  world. And if you haven't started yet,
• 5:55
  this might be the moment that convinces you to jump in.
• 5:58
  Of course, the projects are never too far away to a nice
• 6:00
  question. Who introduced you to your
• 6:01
  favorite genre of music? Because.
• 6:03
  Because behind every playlist, every favorite artist, every
• 6:06
  song you keep calling back to, there's usually a person who
• 6:09
  puts you on to it first. And with everything happening
• 6:15
  this week, we have to talk about WrestleMania 42 predictions,
• 6:18
  expectations and who we think is walking out a weekend with the
• 6:21
  spotlight. Because WrestleMania week always
• 6:23
  brings a certain kind of energy. Tonight's episode is also a mix
• 6:27
  of creativity and chaos, storytelling and wrestling talk.
• 6:30
  Does anything else that decides to land the porch while we're
• 6:33
  sitting here talking? So what are you came for?
• 6:35
  The marble rivals update, the music conversation, the book
• 6:37
  recap or the WrestleMania predictions pull up a chair this
• 6:40
  episode. 27 M3 P Podcast Let's get into it Menace Yes How was
• 6:47
  your week? That's good.
• 6:50
  That's really good. Just super excited for this
• 6:55
  week. Just like going on my favorite
• 6:57
  weeks. And I was telling my sister, you
• 7:02
  know, that, you know well that we're doing this and she's like
• 7:05
  like, look, this is our tradition.
• 7:09
  We've been doing this, but this is our third, 3rd WrestleMania.
• 7:13
  You've done like that. Yeah.
• 7:16
  Yeah, so I, I told her like, beginning of the year, 'cause,
• 7:23
  you know, it's baseball season, so start going to games.
• 7:26
  Super Bowl. Yeah, well, I'm missing a
• 7:30
  baseball game on Saturday because I have WrestleMania.
• 7:34
  So yeah, I said I I already had this weekend already taken.
• 7:44
  So unfortunately I've missed the game, but Oh well, I was like,
• 7:52
  you know, after this it should be OK because this is like our
• 7:56
  big show. So there's nothing like we don't
• 7:59
  really do more than predictions or any of the other PLBS, you
• 8:05
  know, because then we'd always have 4 hour shows and sometimes
• 8:11
  we can't take that so. Yeah, sometimes.
• 8:19
  Not just your set. We are dressed fancy today.
• 8:23
  Yeah, we finally did it. Silk, We finally did it.
• 8:28
  We've been doing it for the. Past three years that we've been
• 8:31
  wanting to do this dress fancy. It's it's our wrestle, it's our
• 8:37
  Slammys, it's our awards. It's our.
• 8:40
  Grammys. It's our Oscars.
• 8:43
  It's our Super Bowl. You know, it's WrestleMania
• 8:48
  season. It's the it's the Mecca of
• 8:52
  wrestling. It's what we what we always love
• 8:56
  doing. Oh, I look gorgeous.
• 8:58
  Thank you. I appreciate that.
• 9:01
  Thank you for doing that. Oh, yeah.
• 9:04
  We decided we're going to dress fancy, so had to cut the hair,
• 9:08
  had to trim the beard, had to find a Sunday shirt Sunday best,
• 9:16
  and unfortunately I found something that's silk and it's
• 9:19
  freaking hot. So we'll see how I handle this
• 9:23
  throughout the entire episode. If you hear the fan, that's
• 9:26
  because I couldn't handle it and I turned it on and it's right
• 9:29
  next to me. So yeah, but for sure that's one
• 9:36
  of the things that's going on. My week was good, except for the
• 9:45
  past weekend, which was totally horrible.
• 9:49
  I got a flat, 2 flats. I got 2 flats.
• 9:53
  Oh gosh. So I had to change the tires and
• 9:59
  knowing me, like changing tires, like the last time I changed a
• 10:03
  tire was like what, 20 years ago when I was younger?
• 10:07
  Really. So I don't, I don't, I don't get
• 10:10
  an accident. Well, but still you, you never
• 10:14
  changed a tire like 20 years ago.
• 10:17
  Yeah, OK. 20 in my 20s. Twenty.
• 10:23
  Oh, where was today? Yeah. 24, yeah. 20 Yeah.
• 10:28
  So hold on. So yeah, that that happened.
• 10:33
  My entire body was hurting. I should have stretched.
• 10:36
  I know. Should have.
• 10:37
  Happened, yeah. Instead, I didn't stretch and
• 10:41
  and my entire body was sore. Broken.
• 10:45
  I've been broken all week and today I feel better.
• 10:48
  Finally. Speaking of today, today marks
• 10:52
  the actual actual five year anniversary.
• 10:55
  How? When I went to the hospital and
• 10:58
  diabetes and they told me I'm diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
• 11:03
  So the actual thing happened today.
• 11:04
  I wasn't going to say anything about that today.
• 11:06
  That's why we mentioned it last week.
• 11:08
  But today is the actual stuff that means in, I don't know,
• 11:13
  15-10 more days, 15-15 more days, 14 more days.
• 11:20
  I get to be celebrate my 45th birthday and let me see when
• 11:28
  does the 29th hit? It's actually on a Wednesday.
• 11:31
  So possibly all have CM Punk sing Happy birthday to me again.
• 11:40
  For those that know, if you were here for the first time around,
• 11:46
  on the like the first year of that birthday month, I had a
• 11:52
  clip of CM Punk singing Happy Birthday to Rey Mysterio's
• 11:57
  daughter. OK.
• 12:00
  But he was a heel, so he was like a creep.
• 12:03
  The most creepiest way he could have sang.
• 12:05
  Sure, sure. And it's like, so he sang to,
• 12:09
  you know, Princess Aaliyah and told her everything's like,
• 12:12
  happy birthday, Princess Aaliyah, and then the booze and
• 12:17
  everything. So you know, exactly 3 months
• 12:21
  after years. Exactly.
• 12:23
  So you know, I took off the Prince Alia part and I just said
• 12:29
  to me, so like happy birthday to you.
• 12:33
  I'm like, thank you CM Punk for wishing me a happy birthday.
• 12:35
  Appreciate it. You know, I was probably going
• 12:38
  to tweet at him too. It's like, hey, it's my
• 12:39
  birthday, can I get one too? You sang at the Prince Alia.
• 12:44
  Anyway, so yeah, that's it. That was my week.
• 12:51
  My my week also consisted of making a binder for Marble
• 12:55
  Rivals. And I, you guys know how I love
• 13:00
  Pokémon and, you know, putting stuff in binders and it's fun,
• 13:07
  you know? So I ended up doing another DIY
• 13:11
  project where I went and cut off pictures from comic books, old
• 13:17
  comic books that I don't need anymore.
• 13:19
  And I was like, I'm going to cut off everybody that I see on
• 13:22
  Marvel Rivals, blah blah. I went with Angela and all this
• 13:25
  other other people. You know, it was hard to find
• 13:28
  Luna Snow. It was hard to find some of
• 13:30
  them. But then you know, it was like a
• 13:33
  DIY like thing where I just grab it and paste it on on an energy
• 13:40
  card for Pokémon cards and. I.
• 13:42
  Was like, OK, so Groot would be a grass type and I'd paste it on
• 13:47
  there and it just like it looked like a child made it basically.
• 13:52
  And then as you know, as a time progressed, I looked at it, it
• 13:56
  was like, no, I really want to do this.
• 13:58
  I really want to have fun with this.
• 13:59
  So I started printing them out and I started printing out the
• 14:04
  pictures. And then there's like a new way
• 14:07
  to do things. It's called the Mitchy method
• 14:11
  where they have a bigger picture and it takes up two sleeves of
• 14:15
  the binder and it's always like a little picture picture and it,
• 14:21
  it creates a whole aesthetic for it.
• 14:24
  So I'm like, I want to do that for, you know, marble rivals,
• 14:28
  but you know, let's do that Mitchie method for marble
• 14:31
  rivals. So I started printing out those
• 14:33
  pictures as well. And then they started, it
• 14:35
  started to look good. It started to look better than
• 14:38
  the actual pictures that I had. So I ended up saying, you know
• 14:43
  what, let's do something better. So every time I did this, I
• 14:48
  thought like, let's do something better with it.
• 14:52
  Instead of just going all crazy and putting them all like
• 14:55
  randomly, I said let me put them all in order of appearance but
• 15:00
  alphabetically. So.
• 15:04
  You know, from here, from the Season 0 where everybody showed
• 15:07
  up, but in alphabetical order. OK, so one season one hits.
• 15:12
  I can't put, you know, Mr. Fantastic, Sue, Johnny Storm and
• 15:18
  the Sing because I got to find where the alphabet goes.
• 15:21
  So I was like, all right, so let me put those in the order that
• 15:24
  they came through and then add more pictures to it and then add
• 15:27
  more skins of the people that came that did also that got
• 15:31
  skins for that week, for that month, the whole season.
• 15:35
  So I'm on season 1, the Dracula season and the dark hold and
• 15:41
  like I love how the entire aesthetic of the binder change
• 15:46
  from colorful from colorful. Look at that.
• 15:52
  I changed. I changed some of the stuff too.
• 15:55
  Like some of them were just like, all right, no, they're not
• 15:58
  that That wasn't there at 4 for the other one that was there was
• 16:01
  just like little tiny piece and just like aren't missing.
• 16:05
  So I decided to put in a better one, and there's the Mitchy
• 16:08
  method for Marble Rival. Nice one season. 0 So I did
• 16:13
  that. So they're all in alphabetical
• 16:15
  order, They all have skins, they all have the Pokémon energy
• 16:21
  card. Nice.
• 16:22
  And once you get to Season 1, the actual one.
• 16:25
  Uh huh. Dark.
• 16:27
  Oh, OK, it's. Like, Oh yeah, I remember Season
• 16:31
  1 being all dark, so I started doing that, adding more pictures
• 16:36
  to it. There's one with the evolution
• 16:43
  of Hulk. Oh, OK.
• 16:46
  From Bruised Banner to the Hulk to Monster Hulk.
• 16:50
  Oh, I love it and. I was like, yes, that's funny
• 16:54
  and I love it. It's like, you know, kind of
• 16:56
  stuff that I like. So so it's not done yet.
• 16:59
  We're we're all, we're almost done with even one.
• 17:02
  I want to keep it going. So that happened and I was like,
• 17:09
  every time I'm on and I'm in the live and I'm like cutting off
• 17:12
  all these cards and. Like you.
• 17:13
  Guys are like watching me do. It.
• 17:16
  Hi, you know, just like I'm I'm, I'm paying attention to you
• 17:20
  guys, but I'm also doing this, you know, all right, This past
• 17:24
  weekend, Coachella has people split.
• 17:27
  On one side, the music, the performances clipped people were
• 17:30
  saying was actually solid. On the other side, the
• 17:33
  experience and anything, everything around it.
• 17:36
  That's where things are getting messy.
• 17:38
  You have streamers pulling up thinking they could go live like
• 17:41
  it's just another day on Twitch or kick.
• 17:42
  And then boom, C's and the sis letter start flying.
• 17:46

  entire 290 song catalog to hit Gnosis for $200 million.
• 21:43
  Every song he's ever released, Baby, Sorry, love yourself.
• 21:48
  All of it gone. At 20 years old, he cashed out
• 21:52
  his past. Then he dropped school.
• 21:54
  Brown. Then he dropped Scooter Brown
• 21:56
  after 15 years. No manager, no agent.
• 21:59
  For the first time in his career, nobody was making
• 22:01
  decisions for him. Fast forward to this weekend.
• 22:04
  Coachella calls. He picks up the phone himself.
• 22:06
  Rolling Stone confirmed has negotiated his own headlining
• 22:09
  deal directly with Golden Voice. No agent, Commission, no
• 22:13
  manager. Cut $10 million for two weekends
• 22:15
  and he kept all of it. Then he walked into the biggest
• 22:19
  stage in music, sat down behind a MacBook and pulled up YouTube.
• 22:22
  He played Baby from 2010. That's what you did.
• 22:27
  Hey, hey, if that's what he wanted to do, more power to him.
• 22:33
  And he got to do it because he kept all that money.
• 22:37
  So bravo to him. You already got paid?
• 22:41
  Yep, all you got to do is just make an appearance.
• 22:44
  Yep. You decide on what to do with
• 22:47
  whatever you want to do, and he did that.
• 22:51
  And back behind them is the like the, the the Tron putting the
• 22:58
  YouTube plug. And he's like putting old clip
• 23:02
  of his memes, like him crashing out on the paparazzi.
• 23:06
  I'm like he when he says I'm standing on business right now,
• 23:09
  like that one he kept repeating. It is like, I'm standing on
• 23:12
  business. Yeah.
• 23:13
  Yeah. All right.
• 23:15
  Here's another clip. Guys, hold on.
• 23:17
  Standing all day. He played baby from 2010.
• 23:22
  He played his bedroom cover from 2008.
• 23:24
  He'd harmonized with his 13 year old self in front of 100,000
• 23:27
  people. Katy Perry joked about whether
• 23:29
  he had YouTube Premium. Half the Internet called it
• 23:32
  lazy. The other half called it genius.
• 23:34
  They're both wrong. It was a receipt.
• 23:36
  He sold his catalog for $200 million.
• 23:39
  He fired the man who discovered him.
• 23:40
  He negotiated his own deal. And then he went back to the
• 23:42
  exact platform where it all started and said, I built this
• 23:45
  from a laptop. I'm headlining Coachella from a
• 23:48
  laptop and for the first time in my life, every dollar is mine.
• 23:52
  That kid from YouTube just closed the loop.
• 23:57
  He was the highest paid artist in history, the highest ticket
• 24:00
  demand ever, and most liked post ever.
• 24:04
  And he did it all in just two nights with him just doing all
• 24:09
  like, I watched those videos and also like singing along with
• 24:13
  him, 'cause, you know, you had baby.
• 24:16
  And I'm just like staying in line thinking baby, baby, baby,
• 24:20
  oh, baby, baby, baby. Never say never.
• 24:24
  And I'm just like, this is nostalgia.
• 24:25
  This is like he is somebody said he was, you know, and getting in
• 24:33
  touch with his child. Like it's like all the trauma he
• 24:37
  felt. Yeah.
• 24:38
  He had didn't have a childhood, so he's like putting his
• 24:42
  childhood up there with us to for us.
• 24:44
  To you. Know he's closing the loop on
• 24:46
  himself. Never say never beating the beat
• 24:52
  sorry. Is it too late to now say sorry?
• 24:58
  All those, all the hits him a video of himself performing
• 25:04
  Chris Brown with you, and then he's singing along to himself
• 25:08
  with himself. So he's harmonizing himself.
• 25:11
  And it was so cool. And I was just like, I was so
• 25:15
  sit there. If I was there, I was so sit
• 25:17
  there and like. Yeah.
• 25:19
  Yeah, this is better than what everybody else is doing.
• 25:23
  And then you got Sabrina Carpenter.
• 25:27
  Somebody yourself cancelled, Somebody yelled old.
• 25:31
  And she's like, what was that? And it's like, it was me.
• 25:35
  I was like, OK, that was weird. And the girl said it was my
• 25:38
  culture. And it's like, that's your
• 25:40
  culture. That's weird.
• 25:44
  And like, so here's the thing. Went to check out.
• 25:48
  OK, so here's the thing. The girl didn't have a problem
• 25:53
  with it. She wasn't offended.
• 25:56
  OK. Who got offended?
• 25:59
  Everybody else. Everybody else got offended
• 26:01
  except for the girl whose culture it is.
• 26:05
  So I'm like, did did anybody talk to the girl that?
• 26:08
  Is she offended by that? No, she's not offended.
• 26:12
  You guys are being getting offended over something that's
• 26:15
  not your your. Business.
• 26:17
  I'm offended for it and like you don't have to be.
• 26:20
  Why? Why?
• 26:23
  She obviously was like, Oh yeah, took no offense to it, you know,
• 26:28
  And yodeling, you know, can be weird, you know?
• 26:34
  Yeah, but still, it was just like, OK, so yeah, that happened
• 26:42
  this past weekend. All right, little mini cohost,
• 26:46
  right? We have a dog and now we have a.
• 26:48
  Baby cohost, yeah. Wow.
• 26:51
  Yeah. Are we so lucky?
• 26:54
  Right? So what do you think of the book
• 26:58
  so far? So far it's, it's really good
• 27:02
  from whatever, you know, I, I missed a few chapters 'cause I
• 27:08
  just fell asleep. I was really tired yesterday.
• 27:12
  It's, it's interesting though. It's interesting the way that
• 27:17
  everything is just so fast, you know, things happen so fast.
• 27:22
  It is so. And that Princess Donut is,
• 27:28
  she's something else, so. Yeah, it is.
• 27:34
  So last time we talked about Carl stepping into the dungeon.
• 27:37
  Now, chapters 3 through 8, where the tutorial ends and the
• 27:41
  dungeon starts throwing, showing his teeth.
• 27:44
  Carl officially enters the first floor.
• 27:46
  And right away you realize this place is just dangerous.
• 27:48
  It's designed. Everything feels like a game,
• 27:51
  but not a fun way. More like a system that's
• 27:53
  watching you, judging you and waiting for you to mess up.
• 27:55
  And the system starts rewarding savings.
• 27:57
  Not just survival, but how you survive.
• 28:00
  You got achievements, loot, upgrades.
• 28:02
  But sometimes we're doing the most ridiculous or messed up
• 28:04
  things possible. Now Carl's learning fast.
• 28:08
  He's figuring out how to move, how to fight, how to not die in
• 28:11
  the 1st 5 minutes because his dungeon does not care about you.
• 28:15
  And then there's the sassy Miss Princess Donut.
• 28:21
  She's fully talking now, fully aware, and somehow she's
• 28:23
  adapting faster than Carl is. She's much more smarter than
• 28:26
  Carl. She's a cat though.
• 28:29
  Yeah. But not a survival way in a why
• 28:33
  am I not being treated like royalty way.
• 28:37
  She has a British accent, apparently.
• 28:40
  OK, judging the proper cat. Yeah, she's, she's one of those
• 28:45
  like, cats. There's like, you know, Yeah.
• 28:50
  She's judging everything, demanding standards, and still
• 28:52
  somehow becoming one of the most important parts of coal survival
• 28:55
  and. Now good.
• 28:58
  Let me see, that's not good as these chapters go on.
• 29:06
  As these chapters go on, Carl starts encountering traps,
• 29:08
  enemies, other survivors, and this is where things get real.
• 29:11
  Because not just monsters you have to worry about is people.
• 29:14
  Some are trying to survive, some are trying to win, and some are
• 29:16
  already losing their minds. The system also starts showing
• 29:20
  some personality. It's not just neutral, it's
• 29:22
  sarcastic, sometimes cruel, and clearly built for entertainment.
• 29:26
  It has a a foot fetish from Carl.
• 29:35
  It does. It's hilarious.
• 29:38
  Everything Carl is doing is being watched across the Galaxy.
• 29:41
  This is just by chapter 6 through 8 Carl start getting
• 29:48
  smarter. He's not just reacting anymore.
• 29:50
  He's thinking. Learning how to use the system,
• 29:53
  learning how to turn bad situations into advantages.
• 29:55
  And most importantly, he's starting to understand that if
• 29:58
  he wants to survive the dungeon, he can't just play the game.
• 30:00
  He has the game, the system. And that's really the shift
• 30:05
  here. Chapters 3 to 8 take Carl from a
• 30:07
  guy who survived the apocalypse by accident to someone who might
• 30:10
  actually have a chance in this world, not because he's the
• 30:13
  strongest, but because he's learning how this twisted game
• 30:15
  works. And all of this still in the
• 30:19
  first floor. Chapter 3 through 8 are where
• 30:24
  dungeon crawler Carl stop being chaos and starts becoming
• 30:28
  strategy. Also, if you want to why listen
• 30:34
  to me read I'm doing it live every night 1 chapter at a time.
• 30:39
  So if you want to see how far Carl and Prince don't actually
• 30:41
  make it through this dungeon pull up, let us know.
• 30:44
  You know, have fun with us as well.
• 30:49
  And also I've been like, I think it's time to change my name on
• 30:53
  on Marble Rivals again. Oh yeah, what's it now?
• 30:58
  Dungeon crawler evo. Oh, OK, so let's do that.
• 31:04
  Let's do dungeon crawler evo. No longer evo, don't you?
• 31:09
  Boom. What shin rod?
• 31:11
  Shin rod in here, What's? Going on right then.
• 31:16
  So yeah, let's start. I'm gonna start doing that.
• 31:20
  Name change, huh? Or maybe hi, he says I.
• 31:27
  I. So yeah, like what?
• 31:34
  What's been your favorite moment of dungeon crawler crawler?
• 31:37
  Carl DCCDCC. DCC you know, I think the whole
• 31:47
  reaction to everyone, I just, the whole, you know, there's
• 31:55
  just that whole thing. But now he's alone with this cat
• 31:59
  that isn't even his. No, not even his cat either.
• 32:03
  And he's all like. And the cat is like, I've seen
• 32:06
  you just like I know you, I don't belong to you.
• 32:10
  And I've seen you looking at apartment and wondering if they
• 32:13
  allow pets. Yeah, like, I know.
• 32:16
  I know what you're lonely. I know what you're going
• 32:18
  through. You want.
• 32:19
  Me to go with you, but the end of the day, her dad's gonna come
• 32:22
  and get me. Yeah.
• 32:24
  Oh my God that sucks. Yeah.
• 32:30
  And it's the whole AI thing. That's like commenting on
• 32:34
  everything that they do. Here's your reward.
• 32:37
  Because the whole them having like a fetish on his foot is
• 32:42
  like, hilarious. So yeah, that's funny.
• 32:49
  I love this book. I must keep reading it, but same
• 32:53
  time I I got told that they're shirts, so I might start buying
• 32:58
  shirts of that too. All right, it's time for
• 33:01
  projects and we only have one apparently.
• 33:04
  So I want you to think about your favorite genre music for a
• 33:06
  second. Now ask yourself, who introduced
• 33:09
  you? To it.
• 33:11
  Was the parent playing records or C DS in the car?
• 33:14
  An older sibling showing your new A artist?
• 33:17
  An older sibling showing you a new artist, a friend who handed
• 33:21
  you a mixtape, a burn CD, maybe the radio station, a movie
• 33:24
  soundtrack, or a random moment that changed your music takes
• 33:27
  forever. For a lot of us, our favorite
• 33:29
  genre of music didn't just appear.
• 33:30
  Someone opened that door for us. So who was it for you Who
• 33:33
  introduced you to the music that shaped your playlist, your
• 33:35
  memories, and even maybe even your personality?
• 33:39
  So obviously we got a bunch of people saying, myself, I
• 33:47
  introduced myself to it and, you know, that's it.
• 33:51
  And then they show us a playlist.
• 33:52
  I was like, you know, no story behind it.
• 33:56
  Movie. Yeah.
• 33:57
  And then. And then what about you, honey?
• 34:00
  You. Yeah.
• 34:03
  She's gonna say you see the her grandmother and mother
• 34:17
  introduced her to what she likes.
• 34:21
  She likes to dance a lot, as you saw in the video that I made.
• 34:28
  So she she hears music and she just starts dancing.
• 34:35
  Oh, OK. But me, I.
• 34:39
  My answer was Donnie Simpson from BT's video Soul.
• 34:46
  We started watching that and they played all different, you
• 34:52
  know, kind of, you know, 90s R&B because that's when it came out
• 34:57
  and fell in love with it ever since.
• 35:01
  Been in love with it ever since. I play it like it's brand new,
• 35:07
  you know, my playlist has only a few like songs on it from the
• 35:16
  twenty 20s because I just love 90s R&B, 90s music, you know,
• 35:23
  overall, but mostly 90s R&B. So I think that's, that's when I
• 35:35
  really fell in love with 90s R&B, you know, as a teenager and
• 35:41
  just, and it's just kind of shaped my, you know, my parents,
• 35:45
  they introduced me because I had to to the music that they liked
• 35:50
  because whether we were in the car, we were cleaning house,
• 35:55
  right? You know, whatever they put on
• 35:58
  is what we listen to. So I think it's really shaped,
• 36:05
  you know, my music taste. Yeah, but OK.
• 36:13
  But you know, other than that, that's that's who introduced me
• 36:17
  to 90s R&B. Right for me, it was my uncle OK
• 36:24
  who introduced me to the 90s R&B, R&B, like friends
• 36:32
  introduced me to rap, hip hop. And then like in 97, I like I, I
• 36:39
  want to say, like, it was 9696, but, you know, like, I knew
• 36:44
  about rock music. I just wasn't like, you know,
• 36:48
  schooled into it up until one of my best friends decided, you
• 36:53
  know, we were just tricking, chilling with the playing the,
• 36:58
  you know, mercy. And he had just bought his CD of
• 37:01
  corn, OK. And he puts it on and I'm like,
• 37:05
  who's this corn? Like, oh, OK.
• 37:09
  It was an experience. Yeah.
• 37:12
  So he introduced me to what was it called at the time, new
• 37:17
  metal. OK.
• 37:19
  So he introduced me to metal. Metal where?
• 37:21
  Just like. Oh shit, no, this is the rage.
• 37:25
  I'm sorry. Oh my goodness, the rage and
• 37:29
  everything. Yeah.
• 37:30
  And so ever since then, I was like, I I went to my first
• 37:38
  concert to Korn. Really.
• 37:42
  Concert. Yeah, so and I'm just like,
• 37:46
  awesome. And this just had it started out
• 37:50
  with me just listening, playing video game on No Mercy and, you
• 37:55
  know, and we put off the music at the same time so we're just
• 37:58
  like, we can do something while we're playing it.
• 38:04
  And then that's where everything came in.
• 38:06
  We're just like, oh, I love the genre.
• 38:09
  Starting to look genre. Yeah.
• 38:12
  I got more music, you know, so that's where it came from.
• 38:16
  OK. Here are other people's answers,
• 38:22
  Julie Gamet says. My dad, he was a professional
• 38:25
  organist and had a wide range of taste in music.
• 38:27
  He introduced me to Roberta Flack.
• 38:29
  Mama Cast, Jefferson Airplane, just name a few.
• 38:32
  Everything for big hands, big bands to Merrily Rush, Leanna
• 38:35
  says. I have a few people to mention
• 38:37
  for my wide range of music. First, my mom introduced me to
• 38:39
  bands like Queen, The Eagles, Bon Jovi, and Journey.
• 38:43
  My aunt and uncle listen to Heart, Fleetwood Mac and Elton
• 38:46
  John. My brother introduced me to emo
• 38:48
  music such as Fall Out Boy and Panic at Disco.
• 38:51
  And we we can't forget the new boy in school, David, who
• 38:53
  introduced me to alternative alternative music.
• 38:56
  He was a big Nirvana fan. So would I, silly little redhead
• 39:01
  says. I did.
• 39:02
  My dad often played older stuff like the Eagles and the Styx.
• 39:05
  I like them too. However, I listen to Norwich
• 39:07
  music stuff like Britney Spears. Now I listen to Nowish music.
• 39:12
  Oh, I was like, what's Norwich? I know right nowish stuff like
• 39:17
  Britney Spears, now City, just a mixture of things.
• 39:19
  I wasn't listening to stuff like Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit.
• 39:22
  My taste was all over the place. I had a hard time socializing so
• 39:25
  I made my own mixtapes and CDs. So I truly believe I just did
• 39:31
  Jay, says my mom when she threw my Vanilla Ice cassette off a
• 39:34
  moving car window in the 80s and popped in Motörhead.
• 39:36
  She did me a huge favor that day.
• 39:39
  Vanilla Ice came out in the 90s bud.
• 39:43
  Yeah. Yeah, 1990.
• 39:55
  Yeah, the lip match girl, girl. I met the psychiatric hospital
• 40:00
  where I was a teenager, Tammy says.
• 40:08
  I like different kinds of music, so it would be a couple of
• 40:10
  different people, one of them being a former boyfriend.
• 40:12
  I have many great memories with him and a mutual long time
• 40:16
  friend with the music in band to the 80s.
• 40:17
  I was living in SoCal at the time, Erin Colley says.
• 40:21
  My dad and uncle, my dad listen to hardcore, my uncle listen to
• 40:24
  death metal. I started listening to it in 94.
• 40:31
  This my TikTok that to age myself but I found all my e-mail
• 40:34
  music from my Internet friends on Neopets.
• 40:37
  That is what Ed Jane says. My 9 and 10 year old siblings
• 40:43
  introduced me to music from early age, especially my
• 40:46
  favorite genre rock. Throughout the years my music
• 40:48
  taste have been on are all over the place though and that is it.
• 40:56
  Don't forget to take to sync the TikTok shop.
• 41:00
  Yes. We were going to do a segment
• 41:05
  called It came from the TikTok shop, but you know, we don't
• 41:15
  have time for that. It's like there was so much

  Summer Slam to do it. I guess I'm not this year.
• 59:18
  OK, All right. That was world.
• 59:21
  Jeez, AAA. OK, let's talk about that.
• 59:29
  I think it's this weekend. I don't know if they did it,
• 59:31
  they're doing it or not. OK, But the what's it called?
• 59:40
  El Grande Americanos The Grande Americanos are coming is coming
• 59:44

• 59:51
  Or loser must unmask himself. Right.
• 59:57
  So and he'll what's his face, Ludwig?
• 1:00:09
  So according to Google, so I just looked it up and Google
• 1:00:14
  said it's mask versus mask May 30th.
• 1:00:17
  Oh. We have a lot of time.
• 1:00:20
  Yeah, we got a month, so we. Got a whole month.
• 1:00:23
  Yep. All right, let's do this.
• 1:00:27
  This year, the action has the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise,
• 1:00:30
  Nevada, where WrestleMania 42 takes over the weekend with
• 1:00:33
  night one on Saturday, April 18th and Night 2 on Sunday,
• 1:00:36
  April 19th. But if you know wrestling fans,
• 1:00:39
  the show isn't just two nights anymore.
• 1:00:41
  It's basically an entire week of chaos and celebration.
• 1:00:44
  We're talking about everything surrounding the big event.
• 1:00:46
  That includes Friday Night Smackdown, which usually sets
• 1:00:49
  the stage for the entire weekend, followed by the
• 1:00:51
  emotional and sometimes hilarious though the ceremony
• 1:00:54
  later that night. And of course, we'll be breaking
• 1:00:58
  down our WrestleMania predictions.
• 1:00:59
  Who walks in with the gold, who walks out with it, and which
• 1:01:02
  matches could end up stealing the entire show.
• 1:01:05
  But if you watch wrestling long enough, you know the real fun
• 1:01:07
  sometimes happens after WrestleMania.
• 1:01:09
  Because the Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania has a long
• 1:01:11
  reputation for being one of the most unpredictable nights of the
• 1:01:15
  year. Surprise debuts, legend returns.
• 1:01:18
  Crowded moments that end up becoming part of wrestling
• 1:01:20
  history. So we're throwing, so throwing
• 1:01:23
  out some guesses about who might show up when the dust settles
• 1:01:25
  after WrestleMania 42 weekend. Originally scheduled for April
• 1:01:30
  11 to 12 at the Caesar Superdome in New Orleans, LA was moved to
• 1:01:34
  the Las Vegas Valley and delayed by a week due to the financial
• 1:01:38
  success of the 2025 WrestleMania 41 was Las Vegas to bending a
• 1:01:42
  higher hosting bid. It will be the third
• 1:01:45
  WrestleMania in the Las Vegas area, including WrestleMania 9
• 1:01:47
  and 993, and the second consecutive at the same venue,
• 1:01:51
  marking the second time WrestleMania will be held the
• 1:01:53
  same venue in consecutive years. The event will also be the first
• 1:01:56
  WrestleMania to stream on the ESPN streaming service in the
• 1:01:58
  United States and air live on ESP NS linear channels, with the
• 1:02:02
  first hour of each night airing on ESPN 2 and ESPN,
• 1:02:05
  respectively. John Cena is set to host the
• 1:02:09
  event, and for the first time, we are no longer getting songs
• 1:02:15
  from the weekend. The official theme songs for the
• 1:02:20
  event are the 2025 remix of Back in the Saddle by Aerosmith and
• 1:02:23
  Youngblood and Bones for the Crows by Nickelback.
• 1:02:29
  OK, now you know what those are, but I'm going to listen to them
• 1:02:31
  anyways. I missed the weekend.
• 1:02:36
  What happened there? 2020?
• 1:02:39
  Poor guy. Anyway, All right, you ready for
• 1:02:44
  this? Yes.
• 1:02:51
  I think because of this match we're going to get a lot of
• 1:02:53
  streamers showing up. First match division.
• 1:02:59
  Logan Paul and Austin Theory and I show speed with Paul Heyman
• 1:03:04
  versus the Usos, Jay USO and Jimmy USO and LA Knight for most
• 1:03:09

  involved in the rivalry because Division Seth Rollins, Brown
• 1:03:14
  Breaker, Bronson Reed and manager Paul Heyman.
• 1:03:16
  The rivalry intensified throughout the year, Jay's with
• 1:03:20
  twin with Jay's twin brother Jimmy joining him reuniting the
• 1:03:23
  Usos at Rosa Palooza. Breaker and Reed defeated the
• 1:03:26
  Usos with Knight serving as a special guest referee.
• 1:03:29
  In October 2025, Rollins was excommunicated out of the group
• 1:03:33
  and division. Logan Paul's team subsequently
• 1:03:36
  defeated the Usos in war games as Survivor Series War Game with
• 1:03:39
  an unknown sailor interfered on behalf of the Vision Paul Ezra
• 1:03:43
  division and joined Reed and viciously attacking Night on the
• 1:03:46
  December 8th episode of Raw, taking him out of action during
• 1:03:52
  LA. In the absence, the unknown
• 1:03:53
  saying was revealed as Austin Theory who joined the Vision
• 1:03:56
  while the Users won the World Tacky Championship at the
• 1:03:59
  Remember match at the Epitomus event, LA returned and
• 1:04:02
  eliminated Bronson Reed and Austin Theory.
• 1:04:05
  Afterwards, Brown Breaker and Brosn Reed with both suffer
• 1:04:09
  injuries taking them out indefinitely.
• 1:04:12
  Heyman stated that both Paul and Theory should focus on when the
• 1:04:15
  World Tacky Championship and on the March 20 episode, they
• 1:04:19
  defeated the Oozles by DQ in a non title match.
• 1:04:21
  After Jay struck Theory with a brass knuckles, however, he was
• 1:04:28
  stopped by Ellen Knight, who was a guest commentator for the
• 1:04:30
  match, influencer and online streamer I Show Speed, who was
• 1:04:33
  watching the match Ring Size, picked up the brass knuckles and
• 1:04:37
  accidentally struck LA Knight. Speed left the brass knuckles in
• 1:04:40
  the ring, which allowed Logan Paul to strike Jimmy with it to
• 1:04:43
  win the title. Three days later, LA Knight
• 1:04:46
  appeared during Speed Live stream attacked him the
• 1:04:49
  following week on Raw. LA Knight face Theory.
• 1:04:52
  During the match, Paul shoved Speed on tonight as Speed was
• 1:04:56
  trying to relieve Dude has appeared and prevented him from
• 1:04:59
  doing so. Theory won the match and after
• 1:05:01
  that use of the Knight attempted to attack Speed who was saved by
• 1:05:04
  Logan Paul after that. After that Allie Knight called
• 1:05:08
  out Roger the manager and appears and then challenged
• 1:05:09
  Theory. Paul and Speed face him and the
• 1:05:12
  usual in the six man tacky match at WrestleMania War 2 which
• 1:05:15
  peers sanctioned. The match was later scheduled
• 1:05:16
  for Night 1. I think just because he won
• 1:05:23
  streamer of the year, he's getting this moment, you know?
• 1:05:34
  But other than that, I don't see Speed doing any kind of special
• 1:05:40
  stuff here. I'm gonna wait until she comes
• 1:05:44
  back again. Welcome back, Eli.
• 1:05:56
  She's back so. OK.
• 1:06:00
  Come on, you gonna sit there? All right.
• 1:06:06
  All right, so I think. Because I'm sorry, you're right.
• 1:06:10
  I I totally agree with you about speed him because he's streamer
• 1:06:15
  of the year. They want to use him again.
• 1:06:17
  I don't know if this has anything to do with him
• 1:06:21
  fighting. Remember, he I don't know if you
• 1:06:25
  saw he was training with Randy Orton.
• 1:06:30
  So I don't know if that was culminating to this part or
• 1:06:35
  what, but. It was like they were impressed
• 1:06:39
  with what he did there. So do here and if anything here
• 1:06:44
  you are. You're welcome to be a part of
• 1:06:47
  this now. Yeah, it does smell good.
• 1:06:51
  And he used to have a Royal Rumble moment and he has to have
• 1:06:54
  a WrestleMania moment now. Right.
• 1:06:58
  Which he's not. Yeah, this will now be his
• 1:07:02
  WrestleMania moment. His Royal Rumble moment was
• 1:07:07
  going into the ring for what, 30 seconds and then getting his
• 1:07:12
  block knocked off and or speared?
• 1:07:15
  Yes, speared and then getting thrown out.
• 1:07:18
  Poor guy. Yeah.
• 1:07:22
  So yeah, who is winning this match?
• 1:07:29
  I think it should be the Usos at La night, but I think they're
• 1:07:36
  going to have the vision win Brown return one of.
• 1:07:42
  The bronze return. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:07:46
  Only one of the bronze returns. Yeah.
• 1:07:47
  So I think Brown Breaker may return and that's how they win.
• 1:07:57
  That's what I'm thinking. What do you say?
• 1:08:05
  I mean, I know we don't like brown breaker.
• 1:08:09
  I'm good, just destroy. You know, I mean, I'm sure
• 1:08:14
  they're going to he is going to get destroyed, but you know, and
• 1:08:19
  I know it's because it's heal. Logan Paul is just egging this
• 1:08:23
  on, you know what I mean? He's like, oh, they're going to
• 1:08:27
  they're going to kill you. You got to sit, you know, you
• 1:08:29
  got to stay with us or shoot me. Not alive you, but he pushed
• 1:08:36
  actual speed into LA night like and it wasn't just a little
• 1:08:41
  shove, he was like so yeah, it was a huge 1 so.
• 1:08:51
  I'm gonna stay the Usos at night.
• 1:08:59
  OK. Jacob Fatu was Drew McIntyre
• 1:09:08
  since September 25, Drew McIntyre began A rivalry.
• 1:09:11
  Jacob Fatu who was annoyed by McIntyre, always blaming others
• 1:09:14
  for his failures, especially after McIntyre lost in the Speed
• 1:09:17
  of West Championship by Russell Palooza.
• 1:09:19
  Fatu also announced his intentions to challenge for the
• 1:09:21
  title and the match between McIntyre and Fatu was scheduled
• 1:09:23
  on the October 17th episode Smackdown to determine the
• 1:09:26
  number 110 for the title. The match never happened as
• 1:09:29
  Fatou was found in capacitated backstage with McIntyre stating
• 1:09:33
  he did not attack him. Fatou would take a hiatus while
• 1:09:36
  McIntyre continued after the title.
• 1:09:39
  On the January 9th and twenty 26th episode, McIntyre won the
• 1:09:41
  title after Fatou return interfered in the match.
• 1:09:44
  The rivalry between McIntyre Fatou intensifies that too
• 1:09:47
  believed that McIntyre was the one who attacked him backstage
• 1:09:49
  and on the February 13th episode, McIntyre interfered in
• 1:09:53
  Fat 2's Elimination Chamber qualified match, costing the
• 1:09:55
  match. 52 competed in another qualifying match for the Open
• 1:09:58
  Chamber match on the February 27th episode, however McIntyre
• 1:10:01
  once again interfered, costing him the match.
• 1:10:03
  On the following week's episode, 5 two interfere to Mcintyre's
• 1:10:06
  title, new fans costing McIntyre the title.
• 1:10:08
  The following week, McIntyre demanded A rematch, however he
• 1:10:11
  was interrupted by 5 two who took the blame for costing
• 1:10:13
  McIntyre the title and asked what McIntyre would do about it.
• 1:10:16
  McIntyre in turn stated that he would quit Smack Down leaving
• 1:10:18
  the ring. However, the return later that
• 1:10:20
  night and once again interfered and cost about to his match.

  On the March 27th episode, after another conversation between
• 1:10:33
  McIntyre about two Smackdown gender manager and they called
• 1:10:35
  the scheduled match between both men and WrestleMania.
• 1:10:37
  However, all the stated that the WE would not be responsible for
• 1:10:41
  anything that would happen between the two and the match
• 1:10:42
  would be an unsanctioned match which was later scheduled for
• 1:10:46
  night 1. I must say Jacob 2 you know what
• 1:10:51
  I mean. Yeah.
• 1:10:54
  I'm saying Jacob, me too. Because he's going to be.
• 1:10:59
  A beast doing this. Well, you know, I mean, this is
• 1:11:02
  his type of match, you know what I mean?
• 1:11:04
  He's he's more of a, you know, Street Fighter.
• 1:11:08
  So let's do it. Yeah, can't wait.
• 1:11:13
  OK, so you got Jacob also? Yeah, Jacob.
• 1:11:21
  Stephanie Mckair was Liv Morgan at the Royal Rumble the at the
• 1:11:26
  Red Rumble Ros. If Morgan won the Women's World
• 1:11:28
  match, earning a World championship match of her choice
• 1:11:31
  at WrestleMania 42. Over the next few weeks she
• 1:11:33
  would appeared on Ron's MacDonald, the Champions of each
• 1:11:36
  brand, leading to numerous altercations on Raw.
• 1:11:39
  On February 16th, Raw Women's World Champion Stephanie McKay
• 1:11:41
  interrupted Morgan's interview and chastised her, claiming that
• 1:11:45
  Morgan had been handed everything throughout her career
• 1:11:47
  and that if she chose her, Morgan would not win.
• 1:11:49
  Which will have Morgan and cheers tears.
• 1:11:52
  The following week, Morgan along with both champions appeared
• 1:11:55
  where Morgan attacked with care and posed with the title,
• 1:11:57
  officially declaring that she would chance for care for the
• 1:11:59
  Women's World Championship at Wrestling 42, which was
• 1:12:03
  scheduled for night one. She is trouble.
• 1:12:10
  No, wasn't feeling the music videos.
• 1:12:15
  Come on. No, no.
• 1:12:18
  No. No, not at all.
• 1:12:21
  Trouble. Yeah, she's checking.
• 1:12:22
  I got to play Bell Bell. You got to play this one first,
• 1:12:25
  honey. Play Bell Bell.
• 1:12:27
  You play Bell Bell after this. There you go.
• 1:12:32
  No, I saw that. And I'm like, what is this?
• 1:12:37
  She's trying. I think she's trying to channel
• 1:12:42
  Britney Spears and Ke$ha the way she sings, and I'm not for it at
• 1:12:47
  all. Hey, Bell Bell P.
• 1:12:50
  Not at all. On the same night Bill in TNA.
• 1:12:55
  Uh huh. Hey, Bill.
• 1:12:58
  Bill EC3 came back. Hey, Bill.
• 1:13:00
  Bill. OK, I heard that, but you know,
• 1:13:02
  I'm not familiar with him. The original trouble OK, like
• 1:13:09
  that's where like when I first saw the name of the music video
• 1:13:13
  trouble, that's the only thing I kept hearing.
• 1:13:17
  Like in my head is EC3 OK And like that's kind of funny that
• 1:13:24
  happened and then the TNA happens that same night that.
• 1:13:28
  Same. Weekend and it's all you know,
• 1:13:30
  the the music, the theme music to him.
• 1:13:33
  Like they. Showed his name 1st and then
• 1:13:35
  obviously and then here we go with the triple, triple, triple,
• 1:13:38
  triple, triple and I'm like I missed that and they even said
• 1:13:47
  that he hasn't been there for 9 years.
• 1:13:50
  He showed up. In WE and was part of 24/7
• 1:13:55
  Chase. Part of it, OK.
• 1:13:57
  So they like ruined his character.
• 1:14:00
  Is that all they used him for? He was lost backstage on
• 1:14:06
  catering. OK, he.
• 1:14:09
  Did that, so he left. Don't.
• 1:14:11
  Know, yeah. He was, he didn't care.
• 1:14:12
  He was there anymore. He just had like a cup of
• 1:14:15
  whatever it was and just like, and you could see the
• 1:14:19
  frustration in his face and. Yeah.
• 1:14:23
  But here he shows up and I'm just like.
• 1:14:26
  He looks different. Wow, yeah.
• 1:14:29
  But that's all I kept thinking about when Lip Morgan came.
• 1:14:32
  With. Video trouble.
• 1:14:33
  And I'm just like. And then I saw the video,
• 1:14:35
  videos. I'm like.
• 1:14:46
  Yeah, I saw somebody on on TikTok, they were saying they
• 1:14:50
  were they were upset that Dom wasn't in it.
• 1:14:54
  And I'm like, I'm not. I don't think we.
• 1:14:57
  Have. Made it better but they she did
• 1:15:02
  have his like choker that says daddy Dom on it so they still
• 1:15:08
  had. I love it.
• 1:15:27
  It's going to be hard. I'm going to say.
• 1:15:30
  I mean, she came out with a music video and everything, but
• 1:15:35
  I'm still going to say Stephanie Booker.
• 1:15:37
  No, I say Stephanie too. Oh my God, I don't want that.
• 1:15:40
  You know, for some reason, they, they they feel the need that
• 1:15:48
  because she now she's back, she's got to be champion.
• 1:15:51
  No, she's to me, she's not that good.
• 1:15:54
  And it's not just because I don't, you know, I'm not a fan
• 1:15:58
  of of Dom. She's not to me.
• 1:16:01
  Yes, my darling, I don't know. She just she screams too much.
• 1:16:08
  She, you know, is always, you know, flipping her hair and and
• 1:16:14
  when she does oblivion, you know, instead of them falling on
• 1:16:22
  their faces, they're falling on, you know, essentially they're
• 1:16:25
  falling on their heads. You know, they're like spiking
• 1:16:28
  themselves. And I'm like, she needs to clean
• 1:16:31
  that up to where they're not getting spiked on their heads
• 1:16:35
  because even if it's, you know, one time, she could do it wrong
• 1:16:41
  one time and we can have a biggie situation, you know, or,
• 1:16:49
  you know, somebody has passed away.
• 1:16:53
  You know, I mean, it's a it's not a dangerous move until it
• 1:16:58
  becomes a dangerous move. So it's like she needs to fit
• 1:17:04
  because I've seen some people when she does it, you know, they
• 1:17:08
  fall on their faces. Like when one time she had a
• 1:17:11
  chair in there and she did oblivion and they fell on their
• 1:17:15
  face and hit the chair, not the top of their head.
• 1:17:19
  So I'm like, yeah, she needs to change the way she does that,
• 1:17:25
  you know, But yeah, I don't. And when her championship all
• 1:17:33
  you know, didn't do nothing. So I'm not a fan, but I will.
• 1:17:43
  I I am. I say Stephanie, the care la
• 1:17:48
  Primera. La Primera Yeah, same.
• 1:17:54
  AJ Lee versus Becky Lynch On the September 5th, 2025 episode of
• 1:17:58
  Smackdown, AJ Lee returned to WE for the first time since 2015,
• 1:18:02
  aiding her husband Sam Punk against Becky Lynch and her
• 1:18:04
  husband Seth Rollins. Liam Punk defeated Lynch and
• 1:18:07
  Rollins in a mixed attacking match at Russ Balusa, where Lee
• 1:18:11
  forced Lynch to submit. Following a brief hiatus, Lee
• 1:18:14
  returned on November 17th episode of Raw, distracting
• 1:18:17
  Lynch to cost her the Women's Championship Intercontinental
• 1:18:20
  Championship. As survivors heard Morgan Both
• 1:18:22
  women were part of the opposite teams in the 1 Morgan match,
• 1:18:26
  where AJ Lee's return team won after she forced Lynch to submit
• 1:18:29
  once again. Lynch regained the title on the
• 1:18:33
  Raw Netflix anniversary show. However, Lynch lost the title
• 1:18:37
  this Lee at Elimination Chamber when AJ Lee submitted Lynch for
• 1:18:40
  the third time on the March 16th episode of Raw.
• 1:18:42
  After AJ Lee successfully defended the title, Becky
• 1:18:47
  returned and attacked Lee. The following week, Becky stated
• 1:18:50
  that she wanted a title back with Lee's appearing and stating
• 1:18:55
  that she would give Lynch a rematch for the title
• 1:18:57
  WrestleMania, which Becky agreed.
• 1:19:00
  Oh no, I must say Becky Lynch. You think so?
• 1:19:07
  You think she's going to get it back?
• 1:19:09
  Yeah. Maybe only because.
• 1:19:11
  Well, I know you were surprised that they gave they gave it to
• 1:19:15
  AJ Lee. Yeah, I was surprised.
• 1:19:18
  Because, you know, she they say that they're the new IT couple
• 1:19:23
  now that they both have a title, you know, so.
• 1:19:28
  Going to end that though at WrestleMania.
• 1:19:31
  Yeah. Can't be playing favorites with
• 1:19:34
  them or else that people are going to like talk.
• 1:19:36
  Yeah, obviously CM Punk is the favorite here, so yeah.
• 1:19:42
  But. No, you know who I want to win
• 1:19:52
  that match, so I sent you what I thought about that.
• 1:19:56
  Anyway, back to what we were talking about.
• 1:19:59
  We'll get to that later, OK. I definitely, I say I think
• 1:20:07
  Becky Lynch too. Becky Lynch because I mean, I
• 1:20:13
  don't think that AJ Lee, I mean, I know she she, you know, signed
• 1:20:17
  a contract. So you know.
• 1:20:20
  We just don't know if it was for I think they said it was a, you
• 1:20:24
  know, a full year. So I think they I thought that
• 1:20:27
  they would use her more for for wrestling, but they're doing
• 1:20:34
  more. She's doing more of a part time,
• 1:20:36
  which that's not a bad thing. OK, well done.
• 1:20:41
  You know, her being a part timer, that's that's no biggie,
• 1:20:46
  but I don't know if this is too just cement her as OK, all
• 1:20:55
  right, cement her as you know that yes, she can win a title,
• 1:21:05
  but you know, I think Becky will have much more success with it
• 1:21:10
  all. Right, so we both say Becky.
• 1:21:15
  Yes. That's crazy.
• 1:21:17
  OK. The Irresistible forces NYA
• 1:21:26
  Jackson latch Legend versus Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss
• 1:21:28
  versus Bailey and liar Belkaria Wasabella twins Bree and Nikki

• 1:21:46
  Virus Series War Game. Bliss and Flair's team defeated

  the Jackson Legends team in the Women's War Game Match.
• 1:21:51
  After that, Bliss and player vowed to regain the title at the
• 1:21:54
  Royal Rumble during the Epidemic match.
• 1:21:57
  Bree returned to duty for the first time in 2022, reuniting
• 1:22:01
  with Twisted Nikki, reforming the Battle Twins, and both
• 1:22:04
  stated their intentions of winning the title.
• 1:22:06
  On the February 27th episode of Smackdown, however, Jack and
• 1:22:10
  Legend, now known as the Air System of Forces, won the title.
• 1:22:14
  Blizzard Flair won a #1 Contender match, and they phased
• 1:22:16
  the Irresistible Forces of March 13 episode Smackdown.
• 1:22:19
  But after an altercation between Jackson Beltrans, who were
• 1:22:22
  watching the match at ringside, Bree attack Jax, causing a DQ
• 1:22:26
  win for the Irresistible Forces. The Beltrans also phased the
• 1:22:32
  Resistible Force in the title match for the following week,
• 1:22:35
  which ended in no contest. After Flair interfered when Jax
• 1:22:38
  attempted to strike Bree, we took title belt and a brawl
• 1:22:41
  ensued between the three teams. On the March 27 episode, the
• 1:22:44
  Beltrans defeated Bliss and Flair after Legend punched
• 1:22:47
  Bliss. Following the match,
• 1:22:49
  Irresistible Forces attacked both teams.
• 1:22:51
  They were saved by Ross bailing Lyra Bulgaria, who were
• 1:22:54
  scheduled for a title match three days later on Raw.

  Forces defend the title against the Bell twins, Bliss and Flair
• 1:23:16
  and Bailey and Buck here in a fatal forward acting match at
• 1:23:19
  Wrestling F42O. This is going to be hard not.
• 1:23:26
  Really. Well, Charlie.
• 1:23:27
  And Blair Alexa Bliss are my favorite so.
• 1:23:30
  I'll go. So do we know?
• 1:23:31
  I know that on Raw, Michael Cole said that Nikki was rehabbing

  A match that I didn't think would happen.
• 1:24:40
  Seth Rollins versus Gunther on the March 30th episode of Raw.
• 1:24:44
  Gunther delivered and unexplained attack on Seth
• 1:24:47
  Rollins and point at the WrestleMania sign.
• 1:24:49
  Late at night, Raj and the manager Adam Pierce announced
• 1:24:51
  the rolling a Gunther with wrestle each other at
• 1:24:54
  WrestleMania 42. That's it.
• 1:24:56
  That's the description for this, unless they added more.
• 1:25:02
  That was two nights ago that I copied this point.
• 1:25:05
  I think, I think that's it, yeah.
• 1:25:06
  That's not with that baby, not with that.
• 1:25:10
  No. This is for the bath time.
• 1:25:14
  OK, draw on your hand. So who do you think for that
• 1:25:18
  one? You think Gunther?
• 1:25:25
  Gunther. Since he's.
• 1:25:28
  He's been on a streak. He's been on a good streak.
• 1:25:30
  Don't. Really.
• 1:25:31
  Yeah, Yeah. Sad.
• 1:25:35
  Like, you know this is for John Cena and AJ Styles, but.
• 1:25:45
  Yeah, I I don't know this. I don't understand why he did
• 1:25:50
  it. You know why Gunther did it?
• 1:25:53
  You know why he attacked Seth? And he never even said, you
• 1:25:57
  know, that it was something bigger.
• 1:26:00
  I mean, he said, you know, he owes him something bigger than
• 1:26:04
  just a favor, you know, Paul Heyman.
• 1:26:08
  So, you know, it'll be interesting to see how this all
• 1:26:16
  pans out. Is Gunther a Paul Heyman guy?
• 1:26:20
  But you know, I don't know. Well, you know, it doesn't seem
• 1:26:25
  like it because Paul Heyman was really surprised that Gunther,
• 1:26:34
  you know, came to his. He's like, you know, So I thank
• 1:26:36
  you, you know, but he has, you know, I don't know, maybe as you
• 1:26:43
  know, and backstage, maybe Gunther is getting some advice
• 1:26:48
  from Paul Heyman, you know, or Paul Heyman, you know, just
• 1:26:52
  started working with him. I, you know, of course, let's
• 1:26:56
  see if it comes on Unreal, but but you know, I don't know it.
• 1:27:02
  He just genuinely seemed surprised that Gunther helped
• 1:27:06
  him out. I'm still going to say Gunther.
• 1:27:11
  Yeah, go. For it, of course, don't lose
• 1:27:14
  it. Don't lose it just.
• 1:27:16

  Smackdown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 42.
• 1:36:49
  The match was good or was later scheduled for Night 2.
• 1:36:52
  That's all they have here. I love how Jade doesn't care who
• 1:36:58
  she is. No, I know which hey, that's
• 1:37:04
  good. And I think this is going to
• 1:37:07
  this is going to be a really good match too.
• 1:37:08
  As long as Jade doesn't have B Fab or Meechen interface, let
• 1:37:16
  it. Jade is good on her own.
• 1:37:19
  Let her cook. Let her go, Let her go.
• 1:37:22
  Let. Her go.
• 1:37:23
  Let them cook. We've been wanting to see this,
• 1:37:26
  you know, for, as you know, as long as Jade's been here, you
• 1:37:31
  know. Well, at least I have.
• 1:37:34
  This feels like the beginning of war games or later than the
• 1:37:39
  year. It's going to be them three
• 1:37:44
  versus with Oscar and the other one.
• 1:37:48
  Kyrie. Kyrie's saying and then they're
• 1:37:51
  going to have Ria and EO and then her partners, whoever they
• 1:37:56
  end up being. I must say Jade retained.
• 1:38:01
  Wow, first time for everything. Not Mommy, sorry.
• 1:38:06
  I say Riaz, I say Jade. We're going with Storm over
• 1:38:11
  here. Yeah, I know you are.
• 1:38:18
  All right, the Sami Zayn was Trick Williams.
• 1:38:22
  On the generated second episode of Smackdown.
• 1:38:26
  Trick Williams made his main roster debut and confronted Sami
• 1:38:28
  Zayn. Williams told to Zane about his
• 1:38:30
  failed opportunities and failure to win the world title and Zane
• 1:38:32
  responder he would teach Williams about becoming humble.
• 1:38:35
  Both William and Zane didn't qualify for a fatal forward
• 1:38:37
  match at Saturday night meeting event to determine who would
• 1:38:40
  challenge for the undisputed championship at the Rumble.
• 1:38:42
  However, William attack Zane after his qualifying match.
• 1:38:44
  Although Zane's won the Fatal 4 where he failed to win the title
• 1:38:47
  to Rumble, after which Williams would continue to taunt Zane
• 1:38:50
  about his loss. After William failed to win the
• 1:38:53
  Animation Chamber match at the imprint of his event for Under
• 1:38:56
  the Speed of West Champions Match at WrestleMania Lane all
• 1:38:58
  the time him for his failure. On the March 20 episode,
• 1:39:01
  Williams was ringside William Prefer inside during Zane's
• 1:39:05
  match and after a confrontation, Zane attacked Williams.
• 1:39:08
  This distraction ended up costing Zane the match.
• 1:39:09
  The following week, Smackdown General Manager and The Call has
• 1:39:12
  announced that Williams would compete at WrestleMania 42.
• 1:39:15
  Zane also all this about match at the event.
• 1:39:17
  However, all this revealed that there was not a spot for him at
• 1:39:19
  WrestleMania. Following Williams taunting Zane
• 1:39:22
  further, Zane attacked women claimed that he would need
• 1:39:25
  indeed compete at WrestleMania later that night.
• 1:39:27
  Later that night, Zane won the United States Championship.
• 1:39:30
  After Williams interfered, Aldous announced that Zane would
• 1:39:33
  defend the title against Dwelling at WrestleMania the
• 1:39:35
  following week. Zane retained the title,
• 1:39:36
  reassuring his status as defending champion.
• 1:39:40
  Which I knew that was going to happen.
• 1:39:42
  I was like, you know what? I I didn't know that he was
• 1:39:46
  going to win the open challenge for the belts, but somehow I'm
• 1:39:51
  like, he's going to make himself so that it's Trick Williams
• 1:39:55
  versus Sami Zane. And I say Trick wins.
• 1:39:59
  Trick. About that time.
• 1:40:03
  Yeah, Oh yeah. Let's talk about it.
• 1:40:08
  When we talk about it, that trick.
• 1:40:11
  Yep, with the lemon pepper steppers on.
• 1:40:16
  Wow. All right, Rick Williams for the
• 1:40:19
  win for the Intercontinental Championship.
• 1:40:23
  OK. No, the US.
• 1:40:31
  The Demon Finn Valor versus Dominic Mysterio Since late 24,
• 1:40:35
  The Ascension had been brewing between Judgment Day members
• 1:40:38
  Dominic and Finn Valor, including at WrestleMania 41,
• 1:40:41
  where both compete in the Fatal forward Match WWE Interval
• 1:40:44
  Championship with Mysterio Penny Valor to capture the title.
• 1:40:47
  Despite the Ascension, they continue to release coexist,
• 1:40:53
  however intensified. In the March 2, 2026 episode of
• 1:40:56
  Raw, Balor wanted Mysterio to defend the titles in the night
• 1:41:00
  without any help, which Mysterio agreed.
• 1:41:01
  During the title match, Mysterio asked for Balor and JD McDonald,
• 1:41:05
  who were at ringside, to interfere.
• 1:41:07
  As McDonald was about to hand the ring bell hammer to
• 1:41:09
  Mysterio, Balor stopped him. This distraction led to Mysterio
• 1:41:12
  losing the title. The following Mysterio committed
• 1:41:14
  Balor, who stated that he only wanted Mysterio to fight his own
• 1:41:17
  battles, but he realized that Mysterio was just a spoiled
• 1:41:19
  little Frick. Mysterio then showed Balor, who
• 1:41:21
  attacked them in response. However, he was outnumbered by
• 1:41:25
  the Judgement Day, taking him out of the group in the process.
• 1:41:29
  2 weeks later, Baller attacked McDonald during Mysterio's title
• 1:41:32
  match, with the distraction costing Mysterio to match.
• 1:41:34
  The following week, Baller announced that he would face
• 1:41:36
  Mysterio at Wrestling Over Here Too.
• 1:41:38
  On the April 6th episode of Rob, Baller was scheduled to face
• 1:41:41
  McDonald. However, he was attacked by
• 1:41:42
  Mysterio. McDonald Before the match
• 1:41:44
  started, Butler announced that he would wrestle under his Demon
• 1:41:46
  persona, which was the first time since WrestleMania 39.
• 1:41:50
  The match was later scheduled for Night 2, 39 against the
• 1:41:57
  Edge. Yeah.
• 1:41:58
  Yeah. Whether we don't talk about
• 1:42:00
  that, didn't like it at all. Yeah.
• 1:42:08
  Please Valor. Yes, please, Ben.
• 1:42:11
  Yes, I. Win.
• 1:42:17
  Ben doesn't need the didn't need the judgment day.
• 1:42:20
  They were, you know, honestly, I shouldn't say he didn't need the
• 1:42:23
  judgment day. This judgment Day he don't need.
• 1:42:26
  He's better than all of them. Yeah.
• 1:42:28
  You know, when it was the original judgment day or, you
• 1:42:32
  know, 1.5. What do you want to call it with
• 1:42:35
  the Ria, Finn and Damian? That was good.
• 1:42:42
  Them taking Dominic under their wing.
• 1:42:45
  OK. But yeah, I don't know.
• 1:42:48
  I mean, it solidified him as, you know, a wrest, you know, as
• 1:42:55
  a heel wrestler. But I'm sorry, he's not that
• 1:42:58
  great. Sorry he's not that great even
• 1:43:04
  because he doesn't wrestle his own way.
• 1:43:07
  He uses his dad's, you know, both of his dad's, you know,
• 1:43:14
  wrestling moves, you know. So it's like you say you're the
• 1:43:22
  greatest Mystidio, but you can't even use your own moves.
• 1:43:26
  You use your dad's moves, you know, and then you want to
• 1:43:29
  channel Eddie by looking at like him with the mustache and the
• 1:43:33
  long hair and you use his moves too.
• 1:43:37
  So it's like, come up with your own moves.
• 1:43:40
  So Finn wins. Imagine if he goes to Smackdown
• 1:43:48
  and Damon priests are there with our truth, and our truths are
• 1:43:53
  like we're bringing. The judgment day, yeah, yeah,
• 1:43:54
  we're bringing. Back We're bringing back to

  But, you know, that's who they don't have in it.
• 1:44:22
  They don't have our truth. And Damien Priest at
• 1:44:25
  WrestleMania, Yeah. Right.
• 1:44:28
  But you know, we've said it before, they need to have all of
• 1:44:31

• 1:44:56
  CM Punk versus Roman Reigns at the rumble January 31st Mac
• 1:45:02
  downs Roman Reigns 1 to 1 menswear rumble match earning a
• 1:45:05
  world championship match of his choice of resume were two.
• 1:45:08
  Reigns appear in the following episode of Raw where he was
• 1:45:09
  erupted by Raw World heavyweight champion Sam Punk, who claimed
• 1:45:12
  that reigns could choose the easy path, face Mac downs world
• 1:45:15
  champion, or choose the hard pass and face him.
• 1:45:18
  Punk reminded Reigns that he was ultimately responsible for
• 1:45:20
  Reigns overall success, as he was the one who brought him onto
• 1:45:25
  the main roster as part of The Shield in 2012.
• 1:45:27
  Punk also outlined how he was a fighting champion in comparison
• 1:45:30
  to Reigns, who was barely showed up to defend the title during
• 1:45:34
  his previous title reign. Reigns recounted his dislike a
• 1:45:39
  Punk stemming from comments that Punk had made about Reigns on
• 1:45:41
  the podcast after Punk left out in early 20/12/14, which caused
• 1:45:45
  fans that turned on him and made his job harder.
• 1:45:48
  He also brought up that Punk Cost and Paul Heyman to turn on
• 1:45:51
  him at Wrestling 41 informed Punk that he was ultimately the
• 1:45:53
  one responsible for Punk's return to West at the 2023
• 1:45:56
  Survivor Series War Games as management consulted his
• 1:46:00
  approval. Although Reigns had showed
• 1:46:01
  respect to Punk after he teamed up in War Game Match at 2025
• 1:46:04
  Survivor Series War Game 29, Reigns decided that out of his
• 1:46:08
  overall hatred for Punk, he would challenge him at Wrestling
• 1:46:10
  for Two for the World Heavy Championship with Punk retained
• 1:46:12
  the title Elimination Chamber on February 28th.
• 1:46:14
  This confirmed his status defending champion Zebros.
• 1:46:22
  Some stupid stuff like that. Zebros.
• 1:46:25
  Yeah. Zebros, I finally watched it.
• 1:46:28
  Like, not bad, yeah. Zebros.
• 1:46:31
  Zebros. I will say that I liked it
• 1:46:35
  better than the first one. Yeah, but.
• 1:46:38
  And not because of Zebros. I liked it because of Zebros.
• 1:46:42
  Did you? Yeah.
• 1:46:47
  You're all dressed up, Josh. We're all dressed up.
• 1:46:49
  It's WrestleMania week, man. It's WrestleMania week and we're
• 1:46:52
  doing the WrestleMania predictions episode me and
• 1:46:55
  Menace. And you know, this is Silk and
• 1:46:58
  I'm hot and sweaty and it's like humid over here and it's almost
• 1:47:02
  over because we're in the main event and we're about to fight
• 1:47:08
  me and her because we're about to have the biggest argument of
• 1:47:16
  the year, right? Yep, let's do it.
• 1:47:22
  Let's do it. Yeah, you.
• 1:47:26
  Know he's everything, Punk said about.
• 1:47:28
  Him is true. Oh, I don't doubt it.
• 1:47:31
  I don't doubt it. Look, I do.
• 1:47:36
  I may not like CM Punk. I haven't heard him say anything
• 1:47:40
  to the contrary. OK, but I, I don't know it, you
• 1:47:50
  know, I think Roman has some valid points too.
• 1:47:55
  So and Monday, you know, when they both were on I I am so glad
• 1:48:02
  that they actually just talked, you know what I mean?
• 1:48:07
  There wasn't no fighting, you know, I mean, why couldn't it be
• 1:48:12
  like that? I mean, yeah, you get tired of
• 1:48:15
  hearing them talk, but I don't they're what they're.
• 1:48:20
  I don't get tired either, you know, no, other people might get
• 1:48:24
  tired of it. But I think, I think this is the
• 1:48:29
  build up that that I want, you know what I mean?
• 1:48:32
  I want this build up, you know, because this is supposed to be
• 1:48:38
  the best match of the night. It is.
• 1:48:41
  This is closing out WrestleMania.
• 1:48:45
  It has to be good, so it has to live up to the hype.
• 1:48:48
  Live up for the hype for this year and next year, because I'm
• 1:48:51
  not watching it next year I'm not going to sit there and watch
• 1:48:54
  3:00 AM that's me I got restricted already I'm.

• 1:49:45
  CM Punk. Yeah, don't.
• 1:49:47
  Do family like that? Yeah, there for that.
• 1:49:51
  This whole story has been great to watch and I can't wait to end
• 1:49:56
  it. For it to end finally, it's
• 1:50:00
  going to be awesome. I can't watch it.
• 1:50:05
  All right, I'm going to say I'm going to say CM Punk.
• 1:50:12
  Obviously, of course you are. Of course I am, and I'm going to
• 1:50:15
  say Roman, so of. Course you are.
• 1:50:18
  Of course, look, I told you Survivor Series after Survivor
• 1:50:26
  Series that Roman needs to be in the Rumble and Roman's going to
• 1:50:31
  be in the Rumble and he's going to win and he's going to
• 1:50:34
  challenge CM Punk for the title and Rome is going to win.
• 1:50:39
  That has been, that's been my prediction and I'm sticking
• 1:50:44
  with. It Josh says punk OK.
• 1:50:48

• 1:57:12
  who's coming? We said Brian, well, I said
• 1:57:15
  Brian was going to come back and help the vision.
• 1:57:18
  That's what I said. OK, so who's coming to Raw or
• 1:57:23
  Smackdown? So we have the possibility of
• 1:57:26
  the four JC Jane, so Ruka, Ethan Page and Joe Henry.
• 1:57:32
  I say Joe Henry on Smackdown, Ethan Page on Raw, Ethan Page is
• 1:57:36
  looks like he would fit in on Raw and then Dan.
• 1:57:41
  Ethan Page, he's, he doesn't have a belt right now, right?
• 1:57:45
  I think AAA with Chelsea. No, he doesn't anymore.
• 1:57:49
  They lost it to Lola. Oh, so Chelsea.
• 1:57:53
  And what's her face? Tiffany Stratton is something
• 1:57:59
  help from Chelsea. So you know what that means,
• 1:58:01
  right? The blonde connection.
• 1:58:06
  My girl is back as a heel. Her the secret, Hermes, Yeah.
• 1:58:11
  My girl's back as a heel, I. Love it.
• 1:58:13
  And I love it when she gets back as a heel and we're like, let's
• 1:58:17
  go. So Joe Henry would fit in good
• 1:58:20
  on Smackdown. Ethan Beige would fit in good on
• 1:58:22
  Raw, especially with Dan Housman being there because they used to
• 1:58:26
  be over on AW. JC Jane would fit in good on
• 1:58:31
  either brand. JC Jane Doe like.
• 1:58:36
  Do you think she'd come by herself?
• 1:58:40
  Fuck yeah, because I don't know why are they there.
• 1:58:44
  I don't remember who the other two are at all.
• 1:58:47
  Like I don't care about the other two.
• 1:58:49
  I care about JC Chain. Yeah.
• 1:58:53
  I would say smack down. Who has the blondes?
• 1:58:55
  All the blondes. Smack down, Let's put JC Chain
• 1:58:59
  there, have at least a freaking brunette in there, and then slow
• 1:59:04
  Ruka on Raw. Yeah.
• 1:59:08
  Because that RKO, that slow snatcher.
• 1:59:12
  That yes, going. To be amazing to look at.
• 1:59:15
  Yeah. What else tag?
• 1:59:21
  Teams Where's? Where's the Americanos?
• 1:59:29
  Are they on RAW? Smackdown or Raw on triple AI
• 1:59:32
  don't know. Why no, I think they're, I think
• 1:59:36
  they're on raw so and she's dating Taylor Bait, who's one of
• 1:59:42
  the Americanos, so they'll probably put her there.
• 1:59:47
  OK, yeah. And then Roxanne Perez comes
• 1:59:54
  back and. Yeah, she's back.
• 1:59:57
  Yeah. She's back, so if Lib Morgan
• 2:00:01
  ends up winning, have Roxanne be the one that like, betrays her.
• 2:00:10
  OK. Because she already, they
• 2:00:12
  already kicked out Finn and Finn brought her in.
• 2:00:15
  So like, you know, right, Keith, Finn need the backup.
• 2:00:19
  So here's Roxanne Perette. What else?
• 2:00:26
  That's it. We go to Tuesday and then we go
• 2:00:30
  to Smackdown and then that's it. Yeah, that's about it.
• 2:00:37
  Where are we, 114? It's going to be like a two hour
• 2:00:40
  and 30 minute episode. Yeah.
• 2:00:42
  All right, you ready to go? Yes, all right.
• 2:00:47
  And just like that, another night on the front porch here at
• 2:00:50
  my third place comes to a close. Tonight was one of those
• 2:00:54
  episodes where we covered a little bit of everything.
• 2:00:56
  Creativity, chaos, wrestling, hype, and whatever the timeline
• 2:01:02
  decided through our way. Shout out to Menace for holding
• 2:01:06
  it down the rocking chair once again.
• 2:01:08
  It's still 2 old heads on the front porch, just letting the
• 2:01:11
  conversation flow wherever we wanted to go.
• 2:01:18
  Yeah, it's told you you're slow right now.
• 2:01:21
  OK. There it goes.
• 2:01:26
  We checked in on DIY Marble Rivals.
• 2:01:28
  Binder talked about how deep that project is getting, how
• 2:01:31
  sometimes those creative side quests turn into their own kind
• 2:01:33
  of therapy because it is therapy for me, we got into that wild
• 2:01:37
  moment at karaoke at Coachella with Justin Bieber because of
• 2:01:41
  course, getting to find a way to make that a thing.
• 2:01:43
  We continue to journey through Dungeon Crawler Carl be kicking
• 2:01:46
  down those chapters and how quickly the world pulls you into
• 2:01:50
  once things get going. We're going to do something
• 2:01:55
  special on the next few weeks like it came from the TikTok
• 2:02:00
  shop because the things people are finding on there still feel
• 2:02:06
  like a modern day late night information infomercial fever
• 2:02:09
  dream. And of course, the pod deck came
• 2:02:12
  through again with another great question.
• 2:02:14
  Who introduced you to your favorite genre of music?
• 2:02:17
  Because every playlist, there's usually a person part at all.
• 2:02:21
