- 0:00[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the Offices, a show covering the Miami Gulf, the NFL, pop culture, drinking culture and of course.

- 0:30[SPEAKER_00]: doing well, I'm doing well, hopefully pass these technological issues that we were having, trying to get this thing going, had to get the computer restarted, all the updates installed.
- 0:42[SPEAKER_00]: But here we are, ready to talk some Miami Dolphins football and whatever the hell else we want to chat about.
- 0:49[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and there's a lot to talk about this week because there's like a big fight on Saturday, although depending on who you talk to, namely, if you talk to me, it's not much of a big fight, but it's like a curiosity, you know what I mean?
- 1:14[SPEAKER_01]: Like, if you were at home and you said, oh, Holy shit, my neighbors, my neighbors to my left and my neighbors to my right are playing one-on-one basketball right now in the front lawn, would you care?
- 1:28[SPEAKER_00]: I probably watched for a little bit, oh, it would.
- 1:31[SPEAKER_00]: Mate, just for like 10 seconds, but no, generally speaking, no, I wouldn't care that much.
- 1:37[SPEAKER_01]: Or if they told you they're playing, you know, touch football, you know, nobody care.
- 1:42[SPEAKER_01]: Now they're telling you we're having a fist fight, a motion every time.
- 1:47[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so, so yeah, we'll talk a little bit about that and there was a great show.
- 1:51[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, did you see that you have seen this past weekend because it was a great show and it ties in directly into what's happening this Saturday.
- 1:58[SPEAKER_00]: there was there was so much going on last Saturday.
- 2:00[SPEAKER_00]: I ended up putting on a wrestling show myself and I was city so I missed I missed a whole lot of other stuff that was going on.
- 2:09[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it was it was the artist event because Sean Strickland, Hamzatshi, myive, what they said to each other in the promotion of this fight
- 2:19[SPEAKER_01]: wasn't your normal trash talk.
- 2:21[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 2:21[SPEAKER_01]: It was like way out of bounds.
- 2:24[SPEAKER_01]: And at the end of the fight, they just shook hands and they're like, oh, you know, it's all in the fun trying to sell the fight.
- 2:29[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and I'm like, really?
- 2:31[SPEAKER_01]: There's work in everybody.
- 2:34[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but this is an extreme work.
- 2:38[SPEAKER_01]: I would say.
- 2:39[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to get into that.
- 2:41[SPEAKER_01]: And we're going to get into, of course, Ronorazi, Gina Crohn, Ronorazi, Jesus Christ, man.
- 2:46[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you've seen, if you've been watching those MVP behind the scenes things, I have not.
- 2:52[SPEAKER_01]: When she's interacting with anybody, Ronorazi is all sweetness and light and, you know, generally the greatest person on earth, but they put a microphone in front of her.
- 3:01[SPEAKER_01]: She just spews venom at people.
- 3:04[SPEAKER_01]: And she's she's spewing venom right now to a certain someone when you get a chance I'm gonna look up something here, but when you get a chance look up what she said about a hunter Campbell Who is he's the the chief matchmaker of the UFC right now and see what she said about him and I could tell you exactly what that's about But first let's talk a little bit about our coaches.
- 3:28[SPEAKER_01]: I guess they're having a rookie mini camp right now Miami Gardens and
- 3:34[SPEAKER_01]: Look, it's rookie mini camp is essentially just it's orientation.
- 3:39[SPEAKER_01]: It's just guys Finding out where the cafeteria is where the bathroom is.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, this, you know, this is what how I put on my socks Can I get my helmet fitted?
- 3:49[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I need new pads Like there's not much going on here.
- 3:52[SPEAKER_01]: Not even I don't think there's gonna be much like I guess to learn the terminology, but there's not gonna be much
- 3:59[SPEAKER_01]: install either.
- 4:01[SPEAKER_01]: But you've seen some of the interviews and probably slow it might have said some things that gave me.
- 4:08[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of cringy, I would say.
- 4:10[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like to hear guys say, oh, we're striving to be 50, 50 on first down.
- 4:15[SPEAKER_01]: Like, no, no, yeah.
- 4:16[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to have an ethos
- 4:20[SPEAKER_01]: And just saying that you're striving to be 50, 50 on first down on play calls, like that's not good.
- 4:26[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not, I'm not for quotas in play calling.
- 4:31[SPEAKER_01]: You call what's working, you call what's fitting of either your agenda or your personal.
- 4:38[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know.
- 4:39[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't take too much of what these guys had to say.
- 4:43[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't find it interesting that Kempatul said, you know, the online exchange is going to be great.
- 4:47[SPEAKER_01]: You know, once he's healthy.
- 4:51[SPEAKER_01]: What is he not healthy, you know?
- 4:53[SPEAKER_01]: I did see him.
- 4:54[SPEAKER_01]: He participated one of those OTAs.
- 4:55[SPEAKER_01]: So he seems like he's healthy.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_01]: So that's what he's like take.
- 5:01[SPEAKER_01]: What did you take from all of these abilities this way?
- 5:04[SPEAKER_00]: That's that sound like coach speak for maybe you're not going to see a channel around here too much until he gets that new contract that he's looking for which we know the dolphins can if you can afford for a few more weeks We're waiting till June second get a little get a little cash in the pockets and then they'll be able to pay a couple guys.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_00]: I know they we've been talking about three guys who could use a new contract Aaron brewer Jordan Brooks and and Devon HN
- 5:30[SPEAKER_00]: But they don't really have money for all three, like you've been talking about Alf.
- 5:34[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to have to pick and choose and it sounds like maybe Jordan Brooks is the odd man out in there this summer.
- 5:41[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll hopefully he doesn't get a little but hurt about that and you know
- 5:46[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't seem like the type of player that would dog it a little bit because he doesn't have the the right contract, but it from everything you're hearing from John Eric Sullivan from Jeff Haffley from the position coaches those are the three core guys they want to build around right and they want to keep them in the fold.
- 6:04[SPEAKER_00]: They did go out and draft a Jacob Rodriguez early on in the second round, so it does make you wonder a little bit about Brooks, you know, about to be 29 years old, drew or about to be 29 years old.
- 6:16[SPEAKER_00]: But they both play positions where you can play well into your 30s, you know, it's not the running back position, it's not the corner back position, you know, these positions you can play well.
- 6:28[SPEAKER_00]: into your 30s.
- 6:29[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm all for new contracts for all three of those guys.
- 6:33[SPEAKER_00]: Going back to your Bobby's slow at comments, you can take that two ways, right?
- 6:37[SPEAKER_00]: You can either take that as, hey, it's coach speak, it's the middle of May.
- 6:42[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to divulge any strategy at this point.
- 6:47[SPEAKER_00]: Or you can take it from the the other side and go,
- 6:51[SPEAKER_00]: Bobby Slug doesn't have the greatest reputation from his time in Houston.
- 6:56[SPEAKER_00]: CJ Strauss Rookie here was solid, but after that he kind of went downhill and he heard some reports, some rum blings, although hard to believe that with with everybody trying to make themselves look good, trying to save themselves on a sinking ship, which was the Miami Dolphins last year, the Miami Dolphins coaching staff.
- 7:15[SPEAKER_00]: But you heard rumbleings that Bobby Slug wasn't
- 7:19[SPEAKER_00]: You know, wasn't wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but it came to designing some of these play calls, you know, it was either passing game coordinator or one of them.
- 7:29[SPEAKER_00]: I think we had two with what's his name that it escapes me now, but
- 7:36[SPEAKER_00]: You started to hear rumblings that maybe he wasn't the best man for the job.
- 7:40[SPEAKER_00]: And so then all of a sudden, he's the offensive coordinator of the Miami Dolphins following here.
- 7:44[SPEAKER_00]: And you really hope that those rumblings weren't true and maybe just Mike McDaniel and his crew trying to throw somebody else under the bus and slow it might have been the fall guy for that.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_00]: But I guess it just depends on what side of the coin you're on there.
- 7:58[SPEAKER_00]: I'll do you think Bobby slow it can be?
- 8:00[SPEAKER_00]: a good offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins, or do you think this is going to be a one and done year for him, and then Jeff Haffley goes out and finds his preferred guy after a 20-26 season if the team does struggle.
- 8:14[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be up to Malik Willis, right?
- 8:16[SPEAKER_01]: Like a Malik Willis is, you know, semi-competent.
- 8:19[SPEAKER_01]: If he's actually good,
- 8:21[SPEAKER_01]: Then I think there's not going to be that many issues.
- 8:24[SPEAKER_01]: And I think Bobby Sloc will be back next year because he has a built-in excuse, right?
- 8:28[SPEAKER_01]: Like this is not a very, very talented team.
- 8:31[SPEAKER_01]: Now this team is going to have the opportunity to play well in certain spots.
- 8:35[SPEAKER_01]: Like they're going to have every opportunity to be a really good running team.
- 8:39[SPEAKER_01]: We know that.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_01]: But other than that, is there play action game going to be any good?
- 8:44[SPEAKER_01]: What are you going to need past catchers?
- 8:46[SPEAKER_01]: to be able to accomplish that.
- 8:49[SPEAKER_01]: And to accomplish that, you're going to have to be able to run the football.
- 8:51[SPEAKER_01]: And we haven't seen it in practice yet.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_01]: We haven't seen this offense actually function in practice yet.
- 8:58[SPEAKER_01]: So I guess that's something, those are some answers, those are some questions that are going to get answers come training camp, right?
- 9:06[SPEAKER_01]: But other than that, you know, I wasn't inspired
- 9:13[SPEAKER_00]: One thing they did talk about, one thing that we did learn now was that Jonas Vainaya going to be moving back to the right side, he came to the dolphins in the second round last year after the team traded up to take him and they immediately put him on the left side of the line.
- 9:34[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't play on the left side of the line very much in college and he was one of the worst guards in football last year.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_00]: Again, you can look at that in a couple different ways, right?
- 9:47[SPEAKER_00]: It rookie offensive linemen as of late have struggled, right?
- 9:51[SPEAKER_00]: Colleges are not preparing these offensive linemen for NFL play.
- 9:56[SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of rookie offensive linemen have come in and have struggled and then figured it out in year two, year three, year four, hopefully it doesn't take that long for Jonah.
- 10:05[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if he'll be playing in year four if he doesn't get shit figured out this year.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_00]: Take it with a grain of salt, but he was the 80 first out of 81 guards.
- 10:17[SPEAKER_00]: So dead last ranked last year for PFF.
- 10:21[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe a switch to his natural side is just what the doctor ordered for Jonah.
- 10:27[SPEAKER_00]: I hope it is.
- 10:28[SPEAKER_00]: Um, the dolphins are better if Jonah is better, right?
- 10:31[SPEAKER_00]: You got Cadenbroctor starting at left guard.
- 10:34[SPEAKER_00]: If Jonah starts at right guard and and suddenly figures it out because he's going back to a more natural position for him, then we've got a good offensive line instead of just a middling to poor offensive line and that can completely change an offense.
- 10:49[SPEAKER_00]: Right, that can completely change how you play the game of football and it would be a blessing from leak willus to play behind an offensive line that that is good right not not a poor offensive line so let's hope that that's what.
- 11:04[SPEAKER_00]: happens when Jonah moves to the right side.
- 11:07[SPEAKER_00]: I guess you could count me a skeptical right now based on just how poor his rookie season was, but I'm rooting for the kid.
- 11:14[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I like how the previous regime would say, that doesn't matter.
- 11:19[SPEAKER_01]: And this regime, same question, same exact question.
- 11:22[SPEAKER_01]: It's just a few months later, this regime answers, oh yeah, it matters a ton.
- 11:26[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so, you know, it's one of those things that you just shake your head smile and just wait and see to see if it works in that schedule gets released tomorrow we're going to be doing a show on only fence and you want to become a member of only fence you want to participate when we're doing that show I'm doing that I'm going to be doing that show with Black seabed maybe maybe Marick will will drop by and bring him on as a guest house, but if you want to participate in that show

- 14:08[SPEAKER_01]: All right, Saturday, I'm watching that huge.
- 14:10[SPEAKER_01]: It's pretty big fight.
- 14:12[SPEAKER_01]: Sean Strickland, Hamza, Chimaev.
- 14:14[SPEAKER_01]: I'm watching the prelimbs.
- 14:17[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm picking it into, because I have my indoor bar right next to my outdoor bar.
- 14:23[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm outside.
- 14:25[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm watching outside, I have two TVs outside.
- 14:27[SPEAKER_01]: And two more inside.
- 14:28[SPEAKER_01]: I actually have three more inside.
- 14:30[SPEAKER_01]: I basically built like a sports bar inside my house.
- 14:33[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, quite a set up.
- 14:34[SPEAKER_01]: Right, so I'm peaking and I'm like, no, then I was in all right, and I've sit back in my chair outside and like 10 hours and no, no, don't hit that and I was in and but I did see Seth coming to the ring with prom break around all right, I'm going to watch this so I actually get up off of my seat outside and I go inside to watch it and I just stood there watching the whole match.
- 14:59[SPEAKER_01]: Mmm.
- 15:00[SPEAKER_01]: Good match.
- 15:02[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't like, and I don't know, maybe you have something on this, maybe you have a different perspective.
- 15:08[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't like this brown breaker and just chuck the blankle thing.
- 15:13[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I don't, you can't take a buckle bomb and then turn it into offense.
- 15:19[SPEAKER_01]: you know, I don't know.
- 15:21[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes guys just don't have chemistry.
- 15:24[SPEAKER_01]: They obviously didn't have some to start the match, but then they kind of, you know, fell into a groove.
- 15:30[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't feel it.
- 15:31[SPEAKER_01]: Your thoughts?
- 15:33[SPEAKER_00]: Well, so in regards to that point, I think TKO is kind of hurting
- 15:44[SPEAKER_00]: gain chemistry with each other, right?
- 15:46[SPEAKER_00]: Back in the day, there were house shows and these guys were wrestling each other five times a week before they ever interacted on television or on a paper view or a PLE as they're now called, you know what I mean?
- 15:59[SPEAKER_00]: So you had opportunity to feel each other out, learn each other's timing, right?
- 16:06[SPEAKER_00]: Get a feel for how you work in a wrestling ring, in a wrestling match.
- 16:10[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody's just a little bit different, you know?
- 16:13[SPEAKER_00]: Nowadays with no house shows happening, you don't get that opportunity.
- 16:17[SPEAKER_00]: So oftentimes the first time these guys are ever in a ring with each other, or ever wrestling each other,
- 16:23[SPEAKER_00]: is the match you're seeing, right?
- 16:25[SPEAKER_00]: So you're getting the the the the raw product and oftentimes that leads to some miscommunication error, some timing, some pacing errors.
- 16:36[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's kind of what you saw in that match there.
- 16:38[SPEAKER_00]: As far as the brown breaker is indestructible, stick, we've seen it before, right?
- 16:43[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of the goldburg playbook and you you build them up
- 16:51[SPEAKER_00]: And clearly, they're not done with that angle.
- 16:54[SPEAKER_00]: These guys are going to continue battling each other and Bronn got the win on Saturday.
- 16:58[SPEAKER_00]: So now, Rollins has to go back to the drawing board and say, OK, maybe I can't just rely on my athleticism, on my agility, on my experience.
- 17:10[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe I need to...
- 17:11[SPEAKER_00]: do a little more study on what Brahmbreaker is as a fighter, and on who he is as a fighter, and then come back and try and overcome him in other ways, right?
- 17:22[SPEAKER_00]: So it could lead the story's not over, right?
- 17:25[SPEAKER_00]: We've just read a chapter of the story.
- 17:27[SPEAKER_00]: It could lead to some some really interesting stuff moving forward.
- 17:30[SPEAKER_00]: But what we'll see where it goes and we'll see where the brawn breaker character goes.
- 17:35[SPEAKER_00]: They're clearly very high on the kid and he has a lineage, right?
- 17:41[SPEAKER_00]: His dad was one of the greatest tag team wrestlers of all time.
- 17:44[SPEAKER_00]: His uncle, great tag team wrestler and also had a very accomplished singles career as well.
- 17:51[SPEAKER_00]: So their high on breaker will see what happens moving forward.
- 17:54[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I agree with the Alph.
- 17:56[SPEAKER_00]: you can tell there was a bit of a lack of chemistry and I'm not going to put that on Bronn and I'm not going to put that on Rollins.
- 18:02[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to put that on TKO as a company, not allowing them to get the ring.
- 18:06[SPEAKER_01]: You don't blame the producers for for some of those spots.
- 18:10[SPEAKER_01]: Because I don't, you know, it takes me out of it.
- 18:13[SPEAKER_01]: If, you know, he takes a buckle bomb, not going to sell that.
- 18:17[SPEAKER_01]: but then takes a super kick.
- 18:18[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm gonna sell that.
- 18:20[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, you know why?
- 18:22[SPEAKER_01]: You know?
- 18:23[SPEAKER_01]: I've never seen somebody know sell a buckle bomb.
- 18:26[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's a big deal.
- 18:27[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that is a big one.
- 18:29[SPEAKER_00]: And we've seen, you know, for sure, in real life, you know, staying took one of those buckle bombs and his back gave out on him, you know?
- 18:36[SPEAKER_00]: It just went.
- 18:37[SPEAKER_00]: It's a rough move to take.
- 18:38[SPEAKER_00]: I've taken it from Rawl and so.
- 18:41[SPEAKER_00]: I know exactly how it was.
- 18:42[SPEAKER_01]: You can make a case that it changed the trajectory
- 18:46[SPEAKER_01]: of been ballers entire career.
- 18:49[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
- 18:49[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
- 18:50[SPEAKER_00]: And that one was on the outside, he was reaching back in it up, separating a shoulder on that one.
- 18:55[SPEAKER_00]: Never reach back.
- 18:56[SPEAKER_00]: If there's any young wrestlers listening to this, don't reach behind you.
- 18:59[SPEAKER_00]: Only dangerous things can happen when you do that.
- 19:02[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, we'll see what happens.
- 19:06[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see where it goes.
- 19:07[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not.
- 19:08[SPEAKER_00]: I'm putting the heat on TKL.
- 19:10[SPEAKER_00]: I'm putting a lot of heat on TKL for a lot of the shit we're seeing on TV right now if you know what I'm saying And I'm sure we're gonna get into some of these other other talking points, but no, it wasn't their best work But I think we'll see it get better as we move forward I think both of those guys obviously Rollins is a great performer and I think Brown's on his way to being a great performer as well
- 19:31[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and, you know, RECI-1, you know, so the, you know, the result is not important, you know, because it was the most predictable thing, like there was no way on Earth that Rollins was going to go over on, on Braun.
- 19:44[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, Braun wins, you know, right result, and that keeps, you know, Seth chasing, which, which will work going forward.
- 19:52[SPEAKER_01]: So now I'm back outside and I'm
- 20:01[SPEAKER_01]: Checking, oh, Dan Housing.
- 20:03[SPEAKER_01]: So I gotta go see this.
- 20:05[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm all excited.
- 20:06[SPEAKER_01]: Now I'm back inside my house and I'm standing there looking at staring at the TV and his mystery partner is a microperson.
- 20:14[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
- 20:16[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm taking a look at this, didn't go over good.
- 20:18[SPEAKER_01]: So now I'm just gonna go outside.
- 20:21[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna peek inside to make sure that Dan Housing wins.
- 20:24[SPEAKER_01]: That's all, you know, that's all I want.
- 20:32[SPEAKER_01]: get a better partner or something that's more of a surprise.
- 20:36[SPEAKER_01]: I just didn't work, you know.
- 20:38[SPEAKER_01]: The result, yeah, it was a good result.
- 20:39[SPEAKER_01]: That housing winning had no idea that that was as finisher.
- 20:43[SPEAKER_01]: It's a big boot to the face.
- 20:45[SPEAKER_01]: But what did you think of that match and the downhousing thing going forward, right?
- 20:50[SPEAKER_00]: Like, sure.
- 20:51[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm worried that we're
- 20:53[SPEAKER_00]: jump at the shark a little bit here.
- 20:55[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm saying I'm worried that there's an over exposure of Dan Housing and if you don't make the right decisions when exposing him as much as you are, it's going to lead to fans turning their back on Dan Housing the character or turning their backs on the product as a whole.
- 21:13[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this was a swing in a miss.
- 21:14[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this and you had even predicted this last week on the showhouse.
- 21:19[SPEAKER_00]: What if it's a group of little people or something?
- 21:22[SPEAKER_00]: And it ended up being just that, and there was some sort of cloning machine involved or something like that.
- 21:29[SPEAKER_00]: Like now we're just now we're reaching ridiculous territory.
- 21:33[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
- 21:34[SPEAKER_00]: And if you keep doing things like this, you're going to alienate a certain segment of your fan base that wants their wrestling based in realism.
- 21:44[SPEAKER_00]: I'm okay with comedy.
- 21:46[SPEAKER_00]: I love comedy.
- 21:46[SPEAKER_00]: I love comedy in my wrestling.
- 21:48[SPEAKER_00]: And I think the Dan hasn't character is very fun.
- 21:50[SPEAKER_00]: very entertaining, very interesting.
- 21:53[SPEAKER_00]: But when you're hyping something as much as they hyped it, right?
- 21:58[SPEAKER_00]: Who's going to be Dan Housing's opponent?
- 22:00[SPEAKER_00]: And then it just sends up being El Torrito in a cloning machine, turning into mini Dan Housing.
- 22:08[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we saw what happened right the the the backlash no pun intended or maybe pun intended I'm not sure the backlash for backlash was pretty strong online and one of the main reasons why was this whole Dan housing stick that fell flat and it's
- 22:25[SPEAKER_00]: don't get me wrong.
- 22:26[SPEAKER_00]: It's not his fault.
- 22:27[SPEAKER_00]: The end housing wasn't the one that made that decision.
- 22:30[SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't the one that said, hey, I know what we should do.
- 22:33[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
- 22:33[SPEAKER_00]: That was a TKO decision.
- 22:35[SPEAKER_00]: That was possibly a triple H decision.
- 22:37[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know.
- 22:39[SPEAKER_00]: And it felt flat.
- 22:40[SPEAKER_00]: I am in total agreement with you,
- 22:43[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to see that in my wrestling, even you bring out somebody like Santino Morello or the iguana guy and I go, okay, you know, not not not awesome, but make sense right and it's funny you get a bit of nostalgia with Morella, but you just do the the the mini person, the little guy gimmick and we've seen it time and time again and I don't know it's just not as funny as it used to be it's just swinging a miss for me.
- 23:08[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and, and it wasn't clever either.
- 23:10[SPEAKER_01]: Like they could have been like think about all the clever things that they could have done, right?
- 23:15[SPEAKER_01]: Think about it.
- 23:15[SPEAKER_01]: Like, here comes the mystery partner.
- 23:16[SPEAKER_01]: Like, Dan Housing's in the ring.
- 23:18[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Kit Wilson and the Miz are there.
- 23:20[SPEAKER_01]: They're waiting for the mystery partner and the lights go up.
- 23:24[SPEAKER_01]: And you hear the gong.
- 23:25[SPEAKER_01]: And people are like, holy shit.
- 23:27[SPEAKER_01]: It's the fucking undertaker.
- 23:29[SPEAKER_01]: but then it's not the Undertaker.
- 23:31[SPEAKER_01]: And he just gets a small package, gets a 123, the match lasts four seconds.
- 23:35[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
- 23:36[SPEAKER_01]: Is that great or what?
- 23:38[SPEAKER_01]: Would that have been clever, you know?
- 23:40[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, excuse me, I lose a ruse, you know?
- 23:44[SPEAKER_01]: Like, holy shit, it's gonna be the Undertaker.
- 23:45[SPEAKER_01]: No, obviously, it's not the Undertaker.
- 23:48[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm gonna use his entrance as a distraction.
- 23:52[SPEAKER_00]: that might have gotten a similar backlash for internet.
- 23:56[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody would have said, whoa, whatever, I want the undertaker to come on at the undertaker.
- 24:00[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I saw people online saying they were hoping it was CM Punk because punk and day and house on a real-life friends.
- 24:06[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely, too.
- 24:07[SPEAKER_01]: That housing.
- 24:08[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I'm just saying like, I mean, when you hype it the way you hyped it, fans are expecting a big payoff.
- 24:16[SPEAKER_00]: And then you go these act opposite.
- 24:18[SPEAKER_00]: You get a little payoff.
- 24:20[SPEAKER_00]: And people weren't happy.
- 24:21[SPEAKER_00]: They were not happy.
- 24:22[SPEAKER_00]: People were pretty pissed off about that one.
- 24:25[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, simple, easy way to fix it going forward.
- 24:31[SPEAKER_01]: No wrestling.
- 24:32[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, down house and not that he's a bad wrestler or anything is that we just don't want to see him wrestle that much he should only be wrestling and it's counterintuitive to say we don't want to see him wrestling, but we do want to see him wrestle at WrestleMania at the Royal Rumble at the summer slam they get a big deal.
- 24:51[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he should only be wrestling and he should be in the field, by the way, like he should never lose a match.
- 24:57[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so, you know, four years down the road, he could come out and say that he's the new undertaker, you know, that he's undefeated, I rustle him here.
- 25:04[SPEAKER_01]: You know, that'd be great stuff, you know, like there's a bunch of stuff you could do.
- 25:08[SPEAKER_01]: And of course, 45 seconds every week, he doesn't have to be doing his stick every single show, four, five segments, you know.
- 25:17[SPEAKER_01]: Like him and Adam Pearce was absolute magic, him making his demands.
- 25:21[SPEAKER_01]: And when he gives him the piece of paper and the piece of paper is soggy and and precious like what is this he goes oh I'm sorry.
- 25:26[SPEAKER_01]: I dropped it in the toilet.
- 25:27[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's funny.
- 25:28[SPEAKER_01]: It's funny and then all of his demands he wanted a blimp.
- 25:33[SPEAKER_01]: Wanted his face on the truck.
- 25:34[SPEAKER_01]: He wanted a WrestleMania man event.
- 25:36[SPEAKER_01]: He wanted his own show.
- 25:38[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like wow like this like this makes sense.
- 25:40[SPEAKER_01]: I like this like this is fun because he is funny.
- 25:44[SPEAKER_01]: But if you're just going to have him be part of the show and then just swing and miss on a lot of these things.
- 25:49[SPEAKER_00]: Doesn't work for me.
- 25:50[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to jump the shark.
- 25:51[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's going to happen.
- 25:52[SPEAKER_00]: I've I've you've seen it a million times, right?
- 25:55[SPEAKER_00]: Roman Reigns was real hot when he was with the shield and then what happened when the shield broke up and they immediately tried to make him the top baby face in the company.
- 26:03[SPEAKER_00]: The fans went no screw you.
- 26:05[SPEAKER_00]: He's not ready.
- 26:06[SPEAKER_00]: We're not ready for that and and it's too much and they boot him for a decade straight even though he was a baby face.
- 26:13[SPEAKER_00]: So if you if you shove Dan housing down the throats of the people the people are going to vomit it back up and tell you we don't want it.
- 26:19[SPEAKER_00]: So you got to slow it down a little bit.
- 26:21[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
- 26:24[SPEAKER_01]: So just keep on my TV for a month.
- 26:26[SPEAKER_01]: Like what's the big deal?
- 26:27[SPEAKER_01]: Summer slime is when in August, right?
- 26:30[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
- 26:31[SPEAKER_01]: Bring them back in July, like what's the big deal, you know?
- 26:34[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, maybe have them do one of one of the periods this week and then have them take June off and have them come back for July.
- 26:41[SPEAKER_01]: And it's not the worst thing in the world.
- 26:44[SPEAKER_00]: And you could totally do it with his character too, right?
- 26:47[SPEAKER_00]: Something mysterious could happen to Dan Housen.
- 26:49[SPEAKER_00]: And then that's an entire angle, right?
- 26:51[SPEAKER_00]: What happened to Dan Housen?
- 26:52[SPEAKER_00]: Where's Dan Housen?
- 26:53[SPEAKER_00]: When's he coming back?
- 26:54[SPEAKER_00]: And then like you said, he makes a big return at Summerslam and everybody loses their minds.
- 27:02[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so yeah, this was a, this was not good.
- 27:07[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't good.
- 27:08[SPEAKER_01]: Just wasn't good.
- 27:08[SPEAKER_00]: Did you see the John Cena announcement?
- 27:11[SPEAKER_01]: What'd you think of that?
- 27:14[SPEAKER_00]: same here yeah so again this was uh there was a lot of backlash to backlash as a whole not just one segment or what he comes up and I'm a bit cynical when it comes to to wrestling because he comes out and he could any says
- 27:30[SPEAKER_01]: John Cena classic, and I'm thinking myself, whoa, is this like what King, King of the Ring?
- 27:36[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I've seen that before, you know?
- 27:39[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, we have any tournament?
- 27:40[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's not like King of the Ring.
- 27:42[SPEAKER_01]: It's actually gonna be NXT versus WB superstars.
- 27:46[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so it's like war games?
- 27:49[SPEAKER_01]: Could I've seen that, too?
- 27:50[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's like war games, but,
- 27:54[SPEAKER_01]: Even the losers can win.
- 27:57[SPEAKER_01]: Make it so mad off, make it so mad.
- 28:00[SPEAKER_00]: What mad?
- 28:01[SPEAKER_00]: So now it doesn't matter.
- 28:02[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't matter who wins and loses.
- 28:04[SPEAKER_00]: It's the whoever has to leave land.
- 28:06[SPEAKER_01]: So whoever has a great performance can win the night.
- 28:11[SPEAKER_01]: We've seen that and it's on Tuesday night since it's called AW.
- 28:15[SPEAKER_01]: God, I hate it so much.
- 28:17[SPEAKER_00]: I hate it.
- 28:17[SPEAKER_01]: It's essentially a W where wrestlers for two hours, every Tuesday night will smell their own farts and you could smell along with them, you know, which is the fun part of watching a UW.
- 28:29[SPEAKER_00]: I hope there's not going to turn to just a spot fest for an entire show and then all that'll be yeah it's like who's who's going to do the craziest shit that could get somebody paralyzed and then it's it's it's crazy right listen everyone knows that wrestling isn't quote unquote real right every it's predetermined we all know that right but we also
- 28:51[SPEAKER_00]: When we watch wrestling, we want to be able to suspend our disbelief as fans, we want to suspend the disbelief and pretend that it's real, right, pretend that it matters who wins and who loses, right?
- 29:03[SPEAKER_00]: If this guy wins, then he gets an opportunity at a title down the line, you know what I mean?
- 29:08[SPEAKER_00]: But now you're telling the audience
- 29:10[SPEAKER_00]: hey listen this shit is so fake that it doesn't even matter who wins and who loses.
- 29:15[SPEAKER_00]: This person can lose this match but as long as you vote for them and say they did a really good job and you like the way they're gear look and they did some cool flip off the top rope then they can be the next whatever John Cena champion or whatever the fuck they're calling it.
- 29:30[SPEAKER_00]: It makes me just incredulous off.
- 29:33[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so angry that they're doing this.
- 29:36[SPEAKER_00]: It has to matter, wins and losses, they have to matter in pro wrestling or else this entire house of cards that we've built collapses in on itself.
- 29:45[SPEAKER_00]: And it just drives me insane.
- 29:48[SPEAKER_00]: It drives me insane what they're doing to a business that I've been in for two and a half decades.
- 29:53[SPEAKER_00]: And I've loved for my entire life.
- 29:55[SPEAKER_00]: It just drives me absolutely nuts.
- 29:58[SPEAKER_00]: And it's one of the worst decisions I've seen made in a very long time by a company that has been known for making some pretty shitty decisions in recent memory.
- 30:08[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and you know the premise is fine NXT versus WWE and then it stops right there like once you once you have that WWE versus NXT It stops right there because the rest of it just does not work.
- 30:21[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't work
- 30:22[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, we get another belt, that's what we need another title, right?
- 30:26[SPEAKER_00]: You know, speed champion 24 seven champion men's intercontinental women's intercontinental.
- 30:33[SPEAKER_00]: There's how many belts are there?
- 30:35[SPEAKER_00]: There's like 40 belts now again, when everyone's a champion, nobody's a champion.
- 30:41[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't matter anymore.
- 30:42[SPEAKER_00]: We got to stop with the bullshit.
- 30:44[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, another new other news in wrestling.
- 30:47[SPEAKER_01]: We've seen the debut of Saul Rooka.
- 30:52[SPEAKER_01]: I had to say this, but I think it's gonna be grand opening grand closing with her very good.
- 30:55[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks.
- 30:56[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because she's probably gonna be dead by next week.
- 30:59[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you saw her risk maneuvers.
- 31:02[SPEAKER_01]: You saw her debut, the bumps she took in it.
- 31:05[SPEAKER_01]: Like who the hell is doing a debut on on SmackDown and taking those bumps in the first hour on a Friday night?
- 31:13[SPEAKER_01]: Then what the hell is you going to do for for WrestleMania just coming off of the the top of the of the arena like that.
- 31:20[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's too much, it's too much.
- 31:22[SPEAKER_01]: Like we know you're great.
- 31:23[SPEAKER_01]: We know you can do all these things, but you're gonna hurt yourself.
- 31:26[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and the fact that she's such a small person, she's a slight woman, she's thin, that doesn't help either, right?
- 31:36[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the more meat you have on your bones in a wrestling ring, the more these bumps get dispersed throughout your entire frame.
- 31:44[SPEAKER_00]: When you're tiny like that, those bumps hurt even more.
- 31:50[SPEAKER_00]: There's a ceiling there.
- 31:52[SPEAKER_00]: You can only do so much.
- 31:53[SPEAKER_00]: The body can only take so much.
- 31:55[SPEAKER_00]: So for her sake, I hope you're wrong out, but I wouldn't be surprised if you're right
- 32:01[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, oh, you're going to get to see her on TV again because yeah, she's she's great to look at and she's a super athlete.
- 32:07[SPEAKER_01]: So she'll be around.
- 32:09[SPEAKER_01]: I just, you know, for her sake, you know, do less trust me.
- 32:13[SPEAKER_01]: Like you don't have to impress us that much.
- 32:15[SPEAKER_01]: We're already impressed, you know, you want to do a bunch of crazy shit.
- 32:20[SPEAKER_01]: Do it at WrestleMania.
- 32:20[SPEAKER_01]: Do it at summer slam, you know.
- 32:23[SPEAKER_00]: That way.
- 32:24[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's again, inside baseball here, but but there's a saying that less is more right leave them leave them wanting more.
- 32:32[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember if I'd use this analogy on the podcast before, but I went to see Motley crew in concert once.
- 32:39[SPEAKER_00]: And the first 20 minutes of the show was fantastic.
- 32:43[SPEAKER_00]: And the last 20 minutes of the show was fantastic.
- 32:46[SPEAKER_00]: And the two hours in between that was the most boring shit I ever saw in my life.
- 32:50[SPEAKER_00]: Because I'm like, I don't know these songs, just play the hits, man.
- 32:53[SPEAKER_00]: Just play the hits.
- 32:54[SPEAKER_00]: I only care to see the hits.
- 32:56[SPEAKER_00]: But that's the thing.
- 32:57[SPEAKER_00]: Less is more, right?
- 32:58[SPEAKER_00]: If you give the people everything that you can do every time you're out there, eventually they go, okay, we've seen it.
- 33:07[SPEAKER_00]: What else?
- 33:07[SPEAKER_00]: What else you got?
- 33:08[SPEAKER_00]: We've seen it.
- 33:09[SPEAKER_00]: We don't care.
- 33:09[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
- 33:11[SPEAKER_00]: If you give them a little bit each time you're out there and you leave them wanting more and they go, oh man, that was super cool.
- 33:18[SPEAKER_00]: I can't wait till the next time I see this girl wrestle and she pulls out something different, that's also equally as cool, you're going to go, man, she can do everything.
- 33:27[SPEAKER_00]: I love this girl.
- 33:28[SPEAKER_00]: But if you do all of that, the first time you're out there, then people expect you to do all of that every time you're out there.
- 33:35[SPEAKER_00]: and then your stick grows old quickly because people go, okay, we've seen it, what else can you do?
- 33:41[SPEAKER_00]: It's the property of diminishing value, right?
- 33:44[SPEAKER_00]: And that property works in every business in the world, and especially ring true in the professional wrestling business.
- 33:54[SPEAKER_00]: Leave the people wanting more.
- 33:57[SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of, leave the people wanting more, the amount of shills that they are in combat sports, Jesus, because a lot of people,
- 34:09[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you've been online on YouTube, and there's a lot of personal, I don't know when they'm in by name, but you know who they are.
- 34:18[SPEAKER_01]: It's the Ariel Hawani's, you know who they are.
- 34:20[SPEAKER_00]: You're never selling it.
- 34:21[SPEAKER_01]: Shilling for this MVP card.
- 34:23[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, this is things gonna be the greatest thing ever.
- 34:25[SPEAKER_01]: Look, I know a few of the fighters on this card.
- 34:27[SPEAKER_01]: First of all, the most notable fight on that card is essentially,
- 34:33[SPEAKER_01]: Mike Perry and Nate Diaz, and you're promoting that fight with, hey, tune in on Saturday night to see if one of these guys dies in the in in the octagon, you know, because I said you the the tape or those two guys talking to each other that look like CTE and brain damage having a struggle for struggle session.
- 34:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 34:53[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not super into the MMA, so I didn't really know who these guys were, but within 10 seconds of me hitting play on that video, I was like, oh, these guys are brain dead, right, these guys are punch drunk like the definition of it like they're they're done for
- 35:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and they're gonna beat the shit out of each other on Saturday for our entertainment and so you have that and then of course They're gonna give us Francis in Ghana the most dangerous man in the world.
- 35:16[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody they sure like to Remind everybody.
- 35:19[SPEAKER_01]: He's the real heavyweight champion which is true because you had a contract dispute with UFC and he left with the belt So you know, he didn't he didn't get to drop the belt so they didn't do what they do in wrestling So he actually did leave with the belt so they're building him as the real heavyweight champion
- 35:38[SPEAKER_01]: is going to be on this card.
- 35:39[SPEAKER_01]: And he's going to murder some guy that, you know, not many people have heard of before.
- 35:44[SPEAKER_01]: And then we have the main event.
- 35:46[SPEAKER_01]: Ronda Rousey versus Gina Corona.
- 35:51[SPEAKER_01]: And I keep trying to tell people, because everybody keeps sending me, this is a joke, right?
- 35:55[SPEAKER_01]: Like Gina Corona was like, I'm not a real thing.
- 35:57[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, trust me, she's a real thing.
- 36:00[SPEAKER_01]: She lived
- 36:06[SPEAKER_01]: Muay Thai.
- 36:07[SPEAKER_01]: So she is very, very much a legit thing.
- 36:10[SPEAKER_01]: The issue is she has a fought in 17 years and now she's old.
- 36:16[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, she's 43.
- 36:17[SPEAKER_01]: And she's gonna get in the ring with somebody else who has a fought in 10 years.
- 36:22[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, and they're gonna call this the main event of this fight and they're fighting at 145.
- 36:26[SPEAKER_01]: These are women that, you know, one had a baby in Ronda Rousey.
- 36:30[SPEAKER_01]: The other got heavy and did a few movies.
- 36:33[SPEAKER_01]: And now they're going to fight at 145, which is their fighting weight and Jesus are they selling trying to sell this fight and in your opinion, like this is the most this is lock of the century for biggest shit show of the year, right?
- 36:51[SPEAKER_01]: Or do you think we're actually seeing a plot of contest here?
- 36:54[SPEAKER_00]: No, I mean,
- 36:56[SPEAKER_00]: knowing how these things work sometimes.
- 36:59[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't be surprised if there's maybe a what would you call it a gentle woman's a lady's agreement that they're not going to go.
- 37:07[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 37:10[SPEAKER_00]: Round one, you know, maybe we may be we stay on our feet and swing a couple times, but you know, whatever.
- 37:15[SPEAKER_00]: Round two maybe we roll around a little bit on the ground and and you know see what happens round three maybe the fight starts for real and round three and then of course we all expect Ronda to tap out Gina within seconds once it once it becomes real but
- 37:31[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't think this is going to be a fight for the ages.
- 37:35[SPEAKER_00]: I'll watch.
- 37:36[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's on Netflix.
- 37:37[SPEAKER_00]: I got Netflix.
- 37:38[SPEAKER_00]: I'll watch it.
- 37:39[SPEAKER_00]: I can't, I don't see this being a highly, you know, people going back and watching this fight over and over.
- 37:49[SPEAKER_00]: A highly replayed bout after the conclusion.
- 37:53[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I don't know.
- 37:55[SPEAKER_01]: Did you see the comments that Rhonda Razi made of 100 Campbell, 100 Campbell is the matchmaker for USA, did you see that?
- 38:00[SPEAKER_00]: No, I did not see that, but I'm sure.
- 38:02[SPEAKER_01]: Look them up when you get a chance that they're they are scathing, but I look them up.
- 38:07[SPEAKER_01]: Look about look up Rhonda Razi, Hunter Campbell.
- 38:10[SPEAKER_01]: I'll do it right now.
- 38:12[SPEAKER_01]: All right, and I'm one green.
- 38:14[SPEAKER_01]: What is the genesis of this hostility?
- 38:16[SPEAKER_01]: Because they asked her about Dana Wyatt and she spoke glowingly of Dana Wyatt and then Dana Wyatt was asked about it and Dana Wyatt's like, oh, I hope she makes a billion dollars on Saturday night, I wish you're the best.
- 38:28[SPEAKER_01]: But she absolutely destroyed Hunter Campbell and it's a pretty well-known fact.
- 38:34[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know why some of these people on YouTube, like maybe they think that they were idiots and we don't know what we're watching.
- 38:42[SPEAKER_01]: Hunter Campbell is easily as good at what he does as anybody else.
- 38:48[SPEAKER_01]: He's now in a, in a refined, but his job is chief matchmaker of the USC.
- 38:55[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll ask you, Merrick, if you're a matchmaker, how do you know that a matchmaker is good at his job?
- 39:03[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, God.
- 39:04[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I mean, in my business, it's all about trying to find matchups and storylines that people want to see that people will literally leave their house, fork over, you know, some cash out of their wallet and come watch it happen.
- 39:15[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, if you're making fights that people want to watch, then you're good, you're good matchmaker, you know?
- 39:23[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 39:23[SPEAKER_00]: And if guys have chemistry, right?
- 39:25[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
- 39:26[SPEAKER_01]: So essentially, Hunter Campbell's job
- 39:32[SPEAKER_01]: and that are fun to watch on Saturday nights.
- 39:36[SPEAKER_01]: Guess what?
- 39:36[SPEAKER_01]: He does that.
- 39:37[SPEAKER_01]: And he does that on a consistent basis.
- 39:39[SPEAKER_01]: And he's coming off one of his hottest nights of the year.
- 39:43[SPEAKER_01]: And guess what?
- 39:44[SPEAKER_01]: Now his next fight is at the fucking White House.
- 39:47[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so so yeah, it's it's pretty much a given that he's good at his job Do you have the comments there?
- 39:54[SPEAKER_01]: So you could read read what rock I guess.
- 39:56[SPEAKER_00]: I mean that maybe not direct quotes But it sounds like she says that that he was telling them they were too old to to to make the type of money They were asking for she said that they treated them like glorified bum fights when it came to When it came to this fight when it came to you know signing rousey and corona to the fight
- 40:17[SPEAKER_00]: but yeah she was she was she went at him.
- 40:23[SPEAKER_01]: So so essentially Hunter Campbell was was honest with her.
- 40:30[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like that.
- 40:31[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to be honest.
- 40:33[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah fighters don't want to be told they're past their prime or they're not worth what they used to be worth you know.
- 40:40[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah so.
- 40:41[SPEAKER_00]: I remain inventing this so it's on Netflix people
- 40:48[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and that's I mean, that's a losing battle.
- 40:51[SPEAKER_00]: We know we're gonna be on the losing side of that, but Yeah, I'll be I'll be watching.
- 40:57[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be rooting for Corona and there's a world there's a world where where Rhonda Rousey's ego is so large
- 41:06[SPEAKER_01]: that she might just stand up and try to bang with Gina Corrano.
- 41:11[SPEAKER_01]: They're pretty wild.
- 41:13[SPEAKER_01]: And if that were the case, then Gina Corrano would have a chance, you know, and we could all be surprised to come Saturday night, but we won't be.
- 41:21[SPEAKER_01]: At least I don't think so.
- 41:22[SPEAKER_00]: Unless it's a work and they're trying to sell the rematch.
- 41:25[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, maybe it could be, but, you know, I don't know.
- 41:31[SPEAKER_01]: Ronnie Ross is the most delusional person in all of combat sports because she says she's coming for Hunter Campbell's job.
- 41:37[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you saw the rest of that quote.
- 41:40[SPEAKER_01]: So it's hilarious, but it's going to be a lot of fun.
- 41:43[SPEAKER_01]: We'll watch it on Saturday.
- 41:46[SPEAKER_00]: and so will everybody else it's going to do huge numbers Netflix is going to do huge because it's I believe they're not charging anything extra that's going to be just on regular Netflix right yeah I think so I don't think that's a special ad on price I mean it's the reason why we're all paying 25 bucks a month for Netflix now but that will extra add on for this one I don't think
- 42:08[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, remember when all of these streaming services were going to be a way for us to cut the cord and save money?
- 42:15[SPEAKER_01]: No, it was the opposite.
- 42:18[SPEAKER_01]: It was a way for us to spend even more money.
- 42:21[SPEAKER_01]: All right, we're going to call it right here.
- 42:23[SPEAKER_01]: Thursday is the, which is tomorrow, they're releasing the schedule.
- 42:27[SPEAKER_01]: Do you believe the leak out there that?
- 42:30[SPEAKER_01]: It's, and I saw the jokes are plentiful.
- 42:33[SPEAKER_01]: Like, go ahead, get these jokes off now.
- 42:36[SPEAKER_01]: I saw those Gary Myers who's credible and especially credible in the New York era area He says that it's going to be jet dolphins to open the season and somebody said yeah They're going to have them play at 3 a.m. on cartoon network, which Good one which is funny, but what do you think is that a 1 p.m. start in the in the hot south Florida sun
- 43:01[SPEAKER_01]: I would hope so, right?
- 43:02[SPEAKER_01]: That would be great for us.
- 43:04[SPEAKER_01]: It's absolutely not going to be prime time, okay?
- 43:08[SPEAKER_01]: So, I'm hoping it's one PM start here.
- 43:10[SPEAKER_00]: I would like that.
- 43:11[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe we have a chance to start this new regime on the right foot, get a win and we'll all, and maybe we'll win.
- 43:17[SPEAKER_01]: And we will know.
- 43:18[SPEAKER_01]: And we will know right away, right?
- 43:19[SPEAKER_01]: Like we will know right away.
- 43:21[SPEAKER_01]: If they beat the jets, hey, this might not be that bad.
- 43:24[SPEAKER_01]: We already got one win inside the division.
- 43:26[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe we are going to win like six games.
- 43:29[SPEAKER_01]: But if they lose.
- 43:30[SPEAKER_00]: then we're all, then we're all going crazy on the internet.
- 43:35[SPEAKER_00]: That's what they lose.
- 43:36[SPEAKER_01]: If it lose, we'll be one weekend into archmanning watch.
- 43:41[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 43:42[SPEAKER_00]: And if they lose, it would do you think not not from us and not from the cultured members of the OnlyFinds Discord.
- 43:52[SPEAKER_00]: But if they were to lose to the Jets week one, do you think we'd see some time to fire Sullivan?
- 43:58[SPEAKER_00]: Please.
- 44:00[SPEAKER_00]: after a while.
- 44:02[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
- 44:02[SPEAKER_01]: On Twitter.
- 44:03[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah.
- 44:04[SPEAKER_01]: On Twitter, you're definitely going to see that.
- 44:07[SPEAKER_01]: But I'll say this.
- 44:09[SPEAKER_01]: Does it make you a little nervous?
- 44:10[SPEAKER_01]: I can.
- 44:11[SPEAKER_01]: I'm getting the sweats already thinking about it.
- 44:13[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know.
- 44:14[SPEAKER_01]: I'm uneasy about playing the Jets week one, right?
- 44:18[SPEAKER_01]: You know about pressure off the bat.
- 44:19[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you kind of want to get a few games under your belt and see where you're at as a roster, try and retool some things and come back strong after a few games, but yeah, no, you're right.
- 44:30[SPEAKER_00]: It could either go really great for the dolphins, and we're all feeling real good, or it could be one of the worst feelings in the world, and that's when you lose to a dog shit team like the New York Jets.
- 44:39[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they look at the mirror and you go, oh shit, where the dog shit team now.
- 44:43[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and here's the problem.
- 44:44[SPEAKER_01]: The jets have an older team now because they bought a bunch of free agents.
- 44:49[SPEAKER_01]: No, that says healthy as they're going to be all season.
- 44:51[SPEAKER_00]: True.
- 44:52[SPEAKER_00]: True.
- 44:52[SPEAKER_01]: So talk about a lot of pressure week one.
- 44:55[SPEAKER_01]: But anyway, well, the next time we talk to you, we will have results in hand of the shit show that Netflix is going to put on on Saturday night.
- 45:05[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully nobody dies in that Mike Perry Nathan Nate Diaz fight.
- 45:09[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 45:10[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully they just, you know, just beat the crap out of each other for three rounds and we have a winner and then hopefully both guys get their licenses revoked from them ever fighting again.
- 45:21[SPEAKER_01]: But Gina Carano and Ron Ross, happy rooting for Gina.
- 45:24[SPEAKER_01]: Like on my punk palms, ready.
- 45:26[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, if I could get Gina merch, like are you listening Gina put some Gina merch out there and I'll buy some.
- 45:32[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be ready, I'll be rooting for you on Saturday night.
- 45:35[SPEAKER_01]: And we will also have this schedule and we will talk about it.
- 45:38[SPEAKER_01]: But that's next week.
- 45:40[SPEAKER_01]: So see you then.
- 45:41[SPEAKER_01]: Peace.
- 45:43[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks for listening to the Off-season American Out.
