the program joining us here momentarily. But before we say hello to him, Hello to you, Queen of Extreme, Hello to you, Hello to you. And what a morning it has been. And I am just technical issues out the wazoo. I can't take it and I need somebody to come to my and fix everything. So any takers email Chad and let them know. Yeah, please help. We need what is it boon squad, the goon squad, the geek squad, that's the opposite, the geek squad. I need somebody to
help me. Good board, the lustard. Who's here? What's up? Brian? How you doing money? Hello? Can you guys hear? Oh? There he is. I'm so sorry we're late. I had a technical difficulties. I was just doing a podcast and my computer was not working with me, so I had to move to my phone that I had to move my iPad and here I am. So, I'm sorry, I'm late. I'm tardy to the freaking party, but I'm here. So the most professional wrestler. I'm sorry I didn't even introduce you.
It's it's Brian Myers. With it, with it an e c W show. Look, there's guns. Yeah, I got, I got, I got a little one. Oh yeah, a little bit. I'm working. Let them. We got an ECW T shirt on today. You're trying to always representing, Yeah, what are we doing? How we do? What's going on? Guys? Uh? Have you back a year? I was thinking about that over a year over. Yeah, he was in the o G run of guests. The first thing myself I thought he was on like about seventy months ago. I was
lobbying for you to come back before. I mean, but you know that goes. I said, no, I don't want that geek on my shows and ship. No. God, how have you been since we've last talked, which was five minutes ago? Crazy? Busy? You know? With Impact? What are you doing? I mean two kids when I'm at home, my beautiful wife to deal with, and then you know,
I Impact wrestling duties. That contract allows me to do independent wrestling dates as well as what I'm most busy with is the my podcast, the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast, so which Franny finally got a little taste of in Boston. Let's talk about was my favorite because like when we asked people to do stuff with this, there was like what toys? I don't get it. And then after they're just like a static and I think you were like, you know, par for the course, like everything is the
same reaction. I yeah, like I get it. Well, I got it before. I understand, like, I know adults are into figures. I understand that I had. You know, I did a show with Brian and Matt and I was on the stage and I said doll and they booed me and I felt it too. Sorrightful said that you
deserve that. So I guess, well, for me, it's like, you know, I look at it as like I got a Barbie doll, but I guess I shouldn't look well in a way, yeah, Barbies are collectible and very expensive and meaning to call an action figure a doll, yeah, because to me, a doll is a doll dollar. You know. It's like you know, soft goods clothing and the flocked hair, you know, things like figure. You know, you're you know your raven figure was punching whatever. You know that that's
where that term came from. Yeah, whatever you give it. Yeah, I don't know, although I'm sorry. They do have a lot of accessories now though, so they accessorized with outfits and uh so it's a little different. Yeah. Of course I never meant any disrespect by calling it a doll. I just always thought they were I thought that was an acceptable term. But from now on, I promise you I will call them in action. You want, you want. You won the Major Mark silver, so it's all right.
I well, now let's get back because first of all, and I think I impressed some people because I knew that figures in a bag were called Lucy's a loose figure, yeah, instead of yes mintun card, Like these ones behind me are mint on card. Yes see I didn't know that, So okay, so mental card. But I knew they were lucies if they were just in a bin and you could just pull them out. So I got I got a couple of points for that, but everything else just went over my head. So we did this thing in Boston,
which was so fun. Thank you. Again. I think I thank you about five thousand times already. But it was really it was a good weekend. It was fun. But I did your boozing with the Toys thing for you guys because you were too busy to partake. At one point we were bouncing in and that we had a lot of duties. I know, I'm not saying that in a bad way. It's like you, you know, we did our signing and you guys were handling whatever, and then
you did your signing, so that was open. And I don't remember who had answered me, but they said would you jump on? So I said, yeah, sure, but I was already like six mind ties in at that point. I don't remember anything except for an Australian gentleman talking to me and I kept saying, ooh, I love your voice. Boozing with the Toys is once a month, we go live in our Patreon for just our patreons, and we it's two hours or more and it's it's literally just
like raw uncensored. Like the original concept was, like you get a little, you know, boozed up and get some liquid courage and maybe maybe hit eBay and buy things that you probably wouldn't buy with you know, a sober mind. That what ury day store? No no, no, no no, no, no, no, like just anybody like, hey man, I've been looking at this rock figure that's three hundred dollars, but I've been kind of a little bitch about buying it. But now I've had a couple of PBRs. I'm just gonna I'm
just gonna pick it up like that guy. I thought. I thought this was like you guys had merchandise, and I thought I was selling your merchandise. Because somebody put a lanyard in my hand and I said, ooh, I don't even know what it said. And I said, ooh, look at this. This lanyard is worth I'm going to try and sell it for one hundred and fifty dollars and I'm holding it up or whatever I said. And then Matt comes over and he goes, no, twelve ninety nine. I go twelve nine. Get out of here. I said,
you're underestimating yourself. This is one hundred and fifty dollars. I thought I was. I was picking up things and showing them, trying to tell you it's a hangout, it's whatever you want, you know, whatever. People we bring, We bring patreons in, patreons in. We talk about whatever they want to talk about, talking through purchases that they're thinking about making. It's fun. I need to is it one archive because I would like to watch. That's another little
perk of it. Once it's gone, it's it goes away. We try to make it like I can't miss event. You know, well, I guess what if you missed this broad you missed it all because I heard that the post the next day are all about you and Joe Shoes stealing the show. Me and Joe Shoes. We are, Yeah, we're a couple now and he's my best friend. Great talk shown up, yeah talk. Well, he pitched that he pitched a dating show to me and good you might
be on something segment for you. I'm honored because I think he only got like ten pins made and he gave me one of them, so I'm one of the ten. Sell that for one hundred bucks if you get in the gym. Well, if I ever do boz And with the toys on wine, I'm going to put it all there for one hundred and fifty dollars. But no, it was It's a fun concept. I mean you guys are really onto something that I never even knew existed. Like
there there there was so much going on. I just kept looking around saying, these guys are gonna be millionaires by the time they're forty. Seriously, I think that word to use fun is like kind of what the root
of all of it is. And like I think we took away like you know, we were these two big, bad wrestlers and we kind of just like drew the curtains back and be like, look, man, we've been collecting wrestling figures our whole lives and into our careers, and like we kind of came out of our like toy collecting closets, and we've just been so transparent with everybody, and just everything we do is just so fun, Like
it's just meant it's for just pure fun. And then people come on board and they're like, how have I not been doing this? You know, it's just and for me, but a lot of it is the sentimental, like like these figures behind me were like my gateway to pro wrestling, Like I found wrestling and I found these toys kind
of at the same time. And then my creativity ran wild, pretending that I was in charge and making matches and running my shows and stuff, and it kind of like pushed my love of pro wrestling, you know, So it kind of it's kind of like it all comes like full circle kind of thing. Yeah, it always it's a constant reminder of why I got involved in this business
in the first place, you know, because it's fun, you know. Well, it was it was so different from like I remember you telling me on the phone, like this is different than a show, Like this is something completely gon. So when I got there, I didn't know what to expect, and it was she was gonna get a reaction. Oh. I was so scared. Oh my god. Because they're like, oh, we're gonna play Shane's music. I'm like, no, they're gonna want Shane Douglas. They're not gonna want me. And I
was so nervous. And then they're just like, here have the my time, and I was like, okay, I don't think I've had that much sugar, And like a decade I was dead. The next day I had like I was on the airplane like this. I was like, what did you do? It wasn't that sugar for me? It was both, yeah, but it was while I was doing it. I was feeling no pain. It was no. You have like two or three, You're like, wow, this is the most refreshing drink ever. And then I had six and
then I ordered whiskey like a dope. That's a tough trying to climb a chain link fence and in the middle of climbing, I got so dizzy and I was like, I'm gonna take a bump. I was going to fall backwards and take a bump, and thank god I didn't. Then I rolled underneath and but no, getting back to the show in general, like I didn't know what to expect, and it was it was such a different concept, like it was like a state. It's like nothing else. Yeah,
it was. It was. It blew my mind, like how funy And you know this is how stupid I am. So I meet I didn't realize it was Mark Sterling from a bus. He doesn't have that gray hair out and flowing. You didn't reize him. I'm twenty years younger too, with like a hat on, so you don't know. Yeah, I said, nice to meet you, and that's the That's the most we talked, I think, except when I was saying probably betting nervous around you too. I don't know why I'm so nice and your students were so nice,
and it was it was so all our guests. We always just say, hey, you're going to see me Mark and Brosky and that's all you know you're coming to see and then our guests are always a surprised, have no idea. So that's been another like foundation of the live show. My favorite example is like Delo Brown and then this is like everyone kind of basically has the same experience that you had. They're like, what am I doing? And then by the end they're having the best time ever.
But we had Delo Brown come and long story short, in our major pod world, we had this like side show where we like fantasy booked action figures into Feds whatever, and Brosky put this tag team title on dal So we had him come out with the tag team title and he got this like Attitude era mega pop and he's just like ah, like raging on his entrance like this epic pop and then he's my boss. I see
him an impact. Like two weeks later, I'm catching up with him and I'm like, dude, thanks for doing that show. You have fun. He goes doom. The show was fun as my old dog, and he was so fired up. The stale from it because it's just like they made you know, the fans are so appreciated to see everybody and everyone gets these awesome reactions. It's just like I said, it's pure fun. Yeah, it was fun. What what was
the belt that Andrew? The guy Andrew had. We initiated a hashtag Major Fitness Challenge and people use that on social media. They use it in our Patreon Facebook group, and we kind of just like encourage people to work out, eat healthier. You know, you don't have to like do anything, just kind of look at your life situation and just try a little better. So we did a contest that ended at that live show where the winner got a eight belt with the with the logo on it. Oh
that's cute. Okay, you've been using that person, Andrew Husfar, it's one of our fans. He'd been using the hashtag like every day posting pictures from the gym, and you know we picked the deserving winner and stuff. Right, that's so cool. I loved it. I loved it. Yeah, it's
been it's been a blessing. I mean Brosky like three years ago, said hey, you want to start a podcast about wrestling figures, And I was like why, Like everyone has podcasts like so lame, right, And then the more I thought, I was like, well, I mean we're literally talking about this ship in the car anyway, why don't we just record it and see what happens? You know what I mean. Yeah, It's just it's been like one of the blessings of my life. It's just been so cool.
It's a world. It's a you guys created this old people and we've built the community literally within itself of people like it's so cool to see, you know, and seeing you know, Shane's been at the show too. You guys created There's another one that was like he walked in like what am I gang? No one knows what's going on, but I followed the you know, the trading
cards and seeing like them being resold. It's like unbelievable that, oh man, and we just we just worked on We just worked on this trading card set that's going to like blow the roof off with all these autographs and stuff that we collected from you know, paid our friends in the business and got like really cool people involved, and like we're still keeping sets like that that's going to like knock people's socks off. That love trading cards. So we're very excited about that. It blows my mind.
I you know, you had talked to me prior, like weeks prior, and you sent me a text and you showed me the eight by ten that you made and you said, I'm too excited. I need to show you now.
This is so cool. Blah blah blah. Yeah. I didn't expect you guys to do anything else for me when we were there, and so we did our little stick where we were mad at each other or whatever, and or I'm mad at you and you know, you're trying to butter me up, and you pull off the micro brawler and I'm gonna be honest with you, I didn't even know what a micro brawler was. Wow. You know, I'm looking, I'm staring you're holding this thing up and Matt's going look at the screen, look at the screen.
And I'm looking at the screen and I go, what if I had no clue what this was? And it's it's a little action figure is out. Yeah, They're wildly popular, and the ones that came out like initially then when people weren't collecting them so like die Hard, are are worth so much money? Is ridiculous, hundreds of dollars like crazy. I love mine because her boobs are so bigger. I know. I was very particular when the designing I went. I mean,
I told my guy, like what it should look like? Yes, thank you for making my boobs look that's another thing. Fraining doubted me, and she goes, no, one's going to want this, it's not going to sell out. I think if the site was working properly, it happened to just coincide with the same weekend to see ing punk like basically shut the whole site down for days, But uh, I don't think it lasted half an hour. Two hundred and fifty of them right I was gone. There was
three hundred of them. Three hundred okay, yeah, wow, yeah, there was three hundred of them. And I got one, and everybody was texting me, message Ryan and get some some more. Dylan was like, okay, are you giving me one? I know, I literally have one more than what I was going to suggest to you. And I was going to do this off air, but who cares, We'll do it. Off air. We can block it out if it's if
it's no, it's a big deal. What you need to do is talk to the Prostates and if you want, I can do it where they could change the red outfit to a white outfit and do a variant that you can just sell your own. My god, you know what I mean, you can have I think I think you can do it for me. Yeah, I want to sit home and package up three hundred frames. No, no, no, you just tell them. I mean they could do it, or they could send you the three hundred and you
could do it and you sign them and sell them. No, I'm not going to make you do the work for me. I'm saying you could suggest it. Okay, sure, thanks Bryan, but you would have to buy buy the order from them, you know. Yeah, I get it. Well, we can talk more later. But I just an idea. Yeah, I didn't even know what they were. And it's the cutest little thing and I love it, and I kept it something that's like wildly popular. It's so crazy how popular they've
gotten in like a short amount of time. Very collectible. Yeah, I had no clue even when I'm staring at the screen, what's clueless, I said, I don't know it a little bit. Yes, it's very much well, I said. And then when they told me what it was, I was like, Oh, I'm going to cry. It's so touching. And that's like, don't cry. And I was like, Oh, don't heal me. This is my moment. Just let me enjoy it. You know, he's healing me. I was like, come on, but it was.
It was a good time. Tell us about Live ten. It's in Las Vegas. Live ten is in Las Vegas. It's going to be October twenty third, where you're basically trying to encourage people to hit Live ten on Friday night and then bound for glory. The biggest h impact restl pay per view of the year is the following night, so you can double up. Okay, weekend of it. Because they're on Salemajor WFO dot com, they're already rocking and rolling. There's only one hundred and fifty and say, we're about
halfway there. We understand that, you know, the last couple of shows have been selling out in like ten minutes, but they're very East Coast based. This is our first venture to the West coast and it's Las Vegas. We understand it's very expensive and it's a big ask, but we think it'll be fun. We know it's gonna be fun, but we think it'll be a opportunity for the West Coast people to you know, make that drive whatever they got to do to be there. So I think you'll
sell out before then. It's at a really cool, really cool place called the Nerd Bar, which Matt went to this weekend to scout out for us. We already booked it. They had instead of a mechanical bull, they have a mechanical like dildo, which I've never seen before. What. Yeah, it's like a big like penis looking thing and you ride that instead of say, can only women ride it? I mean, it's definitely gonna be good for some photo ops. I'll tell you that I would have wrote it if
I want to get the orange spoggle up there on that. Yeah, oh he'll do it. Oh no back yeah maybe not good for his back. No, you have to be careful with this back. If I was booked, I would have did it, just just saying, but you know, is that a big plea in Vegas? Vegas Baby Brainy would blow us off and hit the hit the poker table, So one, did you come up with the most professional wrestler name? Yeah, I did. Actually, it was just kind of like an accident. The gist of it is Gallows. Luca is like one
of my best friends in the business. We both we all got fired in the same day whatever it was, twenty twenty of us whatever. And he he's the ultimate hustler, carneie guy, at least of my generation that I know of, Like, he's just non stop go. So he was talking to somebody. He's like, there's this TV deal blah blah blah, We're gonna film this like show blah blah blah. I need
you just send me a promo. So I was like, okay, And this is very early on in like the ninety days of being fired, and I went to my school and I just had one of my students gonna help me out. I was just was kind of like riffing, like saying shit about myself, and I was just getting so fired up. I said, I'm the most professional wrestler and this is just something I just kind of said. And then as I got into talks with Impact, I
had that used that promo. I sent that to them as well, and then everyone there, like Scott Thea Moore and all the writers and Don Kallis were all kind of like, Prince of Queens is cool, but that that's the name we want. We think that's better. There's something to that. And I was like, you know what, I agree, So just kind of fluke thing that was was definitely a blessing. I like it. I felt like it's like my fresh coat of paint kind of Yeah, yeah, I
like it too good. That's a good name. And how did you, uh, whose idea was it to put you with Sam? That was one of the writer's idea. Yeah, so I kind of look at that Sam is a student of actually this guy Trey Miguel who's there. He's not actually my student, if you can figure that out. He had been coming and like driving in and kind of paying his dues and doing jobs and stuff. And I think what impact thought was like, there's something to
this guy's look is so unique and he's working really hard. Yeah, they wanted that's a real firm By the way, I thought that was the last TV. I thought that was just how he like wakes up in the morning. But that's that's a perm like his hair like mine and his mom is a hairdresser and does it for him. So the old school gimmick at all to me last TV and I was like hilarious. Yeah, I was like, no, okay, yeah,
so then they I mean, it makes sense. It was like the evolution of the most professional wrestler that I you know, I extend my learning treat of these young ins and stuff. And I don't know if you're an a spanded down fan, but if you are and you watch my promos and things I do with him, I've just channeled my inner like Kenny Powers, and he's my Stevie Janowski basically, And it's been a The dynamic between you guys is very good. Yeah, very good. And you
play off each other. Well I'm sorry, Chad, go ahead, No, you can see it exactly, the cadence, the style you exactly, He's right on the money, It's exactly. And you see, it's been pretty fun. I like, I like the pairing a lot. Well, why don't you tell us where they can find you? Tell us a little bit about your school and if anybody wants to just had a big show Creative Pro Wrestling, It's in Hicksville, New York. Did anybody bump in the pool. Oh man, do you don't
know about this? No, because Mary Kate was at my house okay before she came to see you guys, right, yeah, and she sends me this picture and she goes, look there's a pool. And so I text Hack because he told Mary Kate Telfrey Tinge to text me we're doing an appearance. And I said, look, it's not nineteen ninety seven anymore. You got to get yourself over. No one knows who you are. Take a bump in the pool and everybody will remember it. I wish so I knew
the show is at YMCA. This isn't creative pro By the way, this, I had two shows this weekend. This was a SWF in New Jersey. So I had brought in Rich Swan for the weekend. Me and rich Swan were making all these times. We had a signing, we did my show, this show, and we walked into this and I wish we were being filmed because we were just like jaw dropped. I'm assuming this is an Olympic size. It was the biggest pool I've ever seen in my life.
I mean it was massive, like a football field sized pool. And then over in the corner eighty bitty little sixteen foot ring with like if you got shit cand on one side of the ring maybe eight feet into the water, that would have been a great bump. This is the
big problem. So as soon as we had walked in and pieced all this together, they were having a talent meeting, and I thought, this is going to be the hey, nobody go in the pool because this match is going in the pool kind of talk, because then everybody would want to do a pool spot when there's a football size pool next to the ring. And basically it was the lady who owned the YMCA saying you are forbidden
to go in this pool. It was the complete opposite, Like I don't know if it was like COVID reasons or health reasons, whatever, She's like absolutely forbidden, Like they'll never be the show here again if you do this. Really threaten everybody, because I would have loved to like speared somebody through there and just get the clip online or whatever, but wasn't happening. And the real downfall was my match included anytime somebody was on the floor. I
mean it was a nice house. Actually, there's a decent amount of people, like three undred people. They would go pooh pooh like a pool. Cham would breakout like no matter what, because it's right, like you can't ignore it. So then then there's no payoff for these people. I know. Yeah, so totally unfortunate. Well but so so indie rific. We'll call that one so typical of Indian. It was the big one. This is a giant wineca There was like a basketball court. It could have been on because it
was a beautiful day. This could have been outside, like one of options here. I was like, all right, dang, I saw that pool. I was like, I one hack to just do something crazy. Hack was in full hack mode. He wanted out of there. I shared the table. I share a table with him. So oh god, all right, so you're on you're doing indies. Tell us about your school. Yeah, created Pro Wrestlings in Hicksville, New York. We've been open
a while now. We trained MJF from Scratch there, we trained Max Caster and Scratcher, Chris Statlander, Bear Bronson, uh Mark Sterling. I mean, we've had like pretty much a gauntlet of a great talent come through, and honestly, it's not like it's just not your typical wrestling school. Man. If there's someone in there I don't think can cut it or has a lame attitude, we go, you know, like I'm not there. It's not a cash grab. I
don't need your money or whatever. It's just it's truly just for hard working, passionate people that love pro wrestling, and that's what we've protected it in that way, my part, Pat Buck and I and it's been just incredible. So that's rock and and rolling. So if you're taking yourself seriously and you want to be a pro wrestler, we're there in Hicksville, New York for you. Of course, Impact Wrestling every Thursday night, Access TV. You can find me.

I've never I've never brought my own stuff when somebody else is paying me to sit there, and I've just never I've never even thought about that. I'd entertain it. But you know, it would be something where if you and I had said, you know, i'll take care of it, I take care of it. But I
get what you're saying. I yeah, like it's yeah, there's a deal. I would rather save my stuff for an event that I know I need merch for, right, you know what I mean, instead of having to always buy new merch. I know they're going to have plenty of merch for me, So why bring my own stuff? You're not gonna get You're not gonna brutus beefcake me and go out of the parking lot sign stuff for somebody else and give me a couple of bucks and say,
oh yeah, yeah, this is all he gave me. No, I would never want come on, I would never do. That's one of my favorite stories. Ever. That's horrible. No comes back and he goes, hey, guys, stop me. Asked me to sign a bunch of stuff in the you know, in a parking lot. So I went out and uh, yeah, here's your half. It's like sixty bucks. Like okay, yeah, I'm sure that's all he gots. I don't know. Good bye, Brude eye weird. But yeah, anyway, I never I never
would think to bring my own merch. You know, I've never done that unless you would. Yeah, I get I get it, I get it. I completely understand. So I don't know. I guess these these younger kids are trying to teach me. I mean, I mean I've seen it other guys who have specific stuff they do want to move. I mean, it's just a matter of telling it advance. Just don't surprise them at the venue. But I'm not it's going to be off the There's gonna be plenty of stuff to buy at Russell Cade, So I think
I'm good. He could sell the eight x ten and then send them over to buy get your autographs. I think we're going to be sitting right next to each other, so I mean, oh, that's right. Yeah, it's the same group. My bad, we're in the same Yeah, there's like eight or nine of us going. That's a big group. That's the cool thing about wrestle Kate too. When the get together like that and they have a group of guys, it's not just one person sitting at the table, and
it's this whole conglomeration of talent. It's very cool. So yeah, I feel like we're always going to have a line for somebody. Somebody's gonna want to see one of the nine of us constantly. There's never going to be all that's good. That's a lot nine, that's pretty. It's a deep crew. We're gonna need a bunch of tables, I'm telling you. And that's another thing, like there might not be room for all this extra stuff that you want to bring because there's a lot of us that are
going to be there. Yeah, I'm curious to see COVID wise, you know how they they they kind of space out the building because that room can get very tight. And I know they've they've gotten into a bigger room, but it can get tight in there with all the people. So I wonder how COVID restrictions in North Carolina will change the setup. I don't know, but we recently, you know, I've been booked for Rhode Island Comic Con and they just send out a very long informative letter saying uh
and it contradicts itself. First it said everybody must wear masks who entered the building, but then it says it's your choice if you want to do a mask for your photo op. I didn't really understand what they It was mandatory a minute ago, and then when you take your photo you're allowed to take your mask off. So that really didn't make sense to me. And I'm assuming
since it's two months away, it'll change again. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm just gonna you know, I have my mask in my bag if I need one grade If I don't, great, I don't know. But you know, that's three days in this building and that's a big one as well. It's going to be packed huge, So we'll see what happens. I mean, I followed the rules whatever they tell me, I do, so I don't I don't know if it's going to affect people coming to see us or what. For a queen of extreme you are a queen of
rule following. I do follow the rules. I'm not a rule breaker usually, you know, I just need to I need to know ahead of time what I have to do and I'll do it. Yeah. Very cool. But yeah, So anyway, but getting back to earlier, we had to put Brian on because I told him twelve and it was twelve twenty three and he's texting me, are we ready? Are we rady? I'm like, oh, I did a podcast with a lovely gentleman from the UK. His name was James, and you know, we have issues every week with my
computer and my sound system and my microphone. And as soon as I got on, he was like, uh, you know, I really can't hear you that well, and I'm trying to adjust things. And then it got to the point where he couldn't hear me at all, and I'm just picking different systems and nothing was working. And then I tell him, can we go to my phone? And he says yes, And I go on the phone and there's too much background noise even though yeah, like he could
hear himself over you know. Then I get off of there and he says, oh, you should have just put the headphones in the phone. I said, oh, I didn't even think of that. I ran upstairs, I got my iPad. So yeah, now we're on the iPad for this. But I have no idea what's wrong with the computer in the audio. I couldn't tell you. It's a mystery because you know, we recorded in stream yard for X amount of time, but then that was experiencing the microphone problem.
So we moved to zoom. You know what, Chad's got a master plan. He will go ahead and he'll he'll try to figure something out for you. Please do before next week, because well it might not be next week, it might be a few weeks. You got something. I think he's got something up his sleep for you. I don't know it's it's the microphone's not old. I bought a new cord. I just don't know what's going on.
I don't know, We'll say. And I think Brian's mocking me because he sent me this gift, that little dickhead, and she's got brave, says and I have braces now he's making fun of me. Ha ha, yeah, damn it. I can't wait to get these things off. Well, it has been quite the quite the week, so to speak. We're recording a different day, but just man, what a week it's been. How have you been doing? We really chatted much, but what's yeah, you know, just just taking
everything day by day as always. Kids started at school, so we've been busy with the homeschooling and getting them on a schedule, and I had to take my mom to the doctor, and uh, you know, just living life, just being thankful for each day that I have, even though some days I want to rip my hair out of my head. But for the most part, it's okay. I'm okay. I had so many people have been worried about me. I'm okay. I'm you know, you need to
allow people to grieve. Yes, and I did, and I still hurt, but I'm at the point where I'm not sitting here crying every day. You know, I think I'm past that. I think of her, I get teary eyed, but I know in my heart that she's at peace now, and that's what makes me happy, because that's all she wanted. So I'm okay, and I'm just trying to think of
happy things and the kids. The kids have gotten me through these last couple of weeks, because I mean, if your kid can't make you smile, then there's something wrong with your kid, and there's something wrong with the way you're raising your kids. Because my kids can make me smile every single time I look at them. Yeah, no, that's true. And you know, and it's a sign that you're such a history you guys have. I mean, nobody expects you to just move on the next day. Yeah,
it's going to be an everlasting thing. And you know, you shared so much over those two weeks. You know, it's even tough to go back and do it again last week and have you relive it all over again. It was. It was very emotional to be sitting here watching you doing it, and I just you know, you shared so much of us and we're very appreciative of it.
So thank you for letting this in. Yeah, it needed to be done, you know, it needed to be done, and I just, I don't know, I just had to, you know, grieve the way that I felt was right. And I still think of her at night before I go to sleep. But I and I find it's weird. I find and I found myself doing this with my sister as well, when she passed away. Something will pop in my head and like this week, I go, oh my god, I got a text Shannon. I got to call Shannon. And then I'm like, no, I don't have
to call Shannon, Like you know what I mean. It's an impulse to want to talk to her and tell her something, and then I realized she's not here. I can't do it, so and I know that'll stop eventually too, But my mind, it's just it's weird how your mind thinks. Sometimes that's Honestly, the hardest part is to yourself, you know, yeah, the deal. Yeah, but you know, yeah, we we started up our fall softball season over the weekend. Now, we did not win any games last year. We were a
punching bag for the league. I mean, they must have gotten together and they I don't think the league is a big fan of the old Chadster. Chadster tends to do things a little differently than everybody else. But they they came together. We tied the first game, but what a victory. Were down ten to one going into the last inning and ended up tying eleven eleven. Wow with our yeah, with our last at bat, literally a bases
loaded walk to tie the game. I gave out a game ball to a girl who was hysterical crying before the game started. She was so nervous. She had two hits, drove in four runs, and made a game saving play at third base. Oh she's it was great. Circle crying for the game start. Yeah, it was, that's fun. But then we've been you know, a second game already that was going until eight o'clock last night. It was tough
for these kids. Oh yeah, girls could barely hit the plate with the pitch because they were so tired from the right. That's cool all day, and then you're going to play a game for three hours. It was. It was brutal. It's too much. I agree. I did it when when the kids had cheerleading and they were this was when they were in second grade, and we would have practice and then we would be there until, you know, the games were over, like nine thirty, and then they
had school the next day. Yeah, it's ridiculous. So you gotta go. You gotta get there a half hour early, so you get there at five. The game starts at five thirty, so you gotta leave your house at four thirty to get to the game of five for the five hours start. And then when we walked off the field and loaded up the car, it was seven fifty when the game was and it's like, holy crap. After a long day of school, it's pretty it's a pretty
long day. And my little one kindergarten her first after school activity today and that it's just crazy that that popped up out of nowhere. She's already Yeah, what is she doing doing robotics? Oh so they're building a robot that walks backwards. Okay, better than what you'd been doing here. I been like, yeah, jelly, I okay, you're good. Yeah right anything, well that's fun, good for them, sounds good. Well, yeah, that's that's about it. Again, we're recording a different day.
It's a it's a whole different outlook when we're recording on a Friday and there's been more happening, extra days and things. Oh how about this one Norm MacDonald passing away? I know, I felt too bad. Yeah that was crazy yesterday, like it. That's an l He did the monolog where he came back a year and a half later and he explains how he got fired because he wasn't funny but now he's funny enough funny as the host. Yeah yeah, yeah. Watching out yesterday, he was hilarious. He was hilarious. Bert
Reynolds was like, top notch. You and Norm McDonald have one thing in common, we do. He loved to joke about Frank Stallone, Frank the Left. I don't joke about Frank. He would always talk about Frank Stallone. Oh yeah, Frank likes to put himself over, That's all I say. But uh yeah, Norm McDonald, who knew nine years bount with cancer, right, what kind of cancer did he have. I don't know if that's been disclosed yet, but just apparently no family,
no friends, only very close constituents new that he had. Yeah, so it was quite the shocker to everyone. But I don't know what he had. But I mean, he was always a smoker, you know, he was always smoking on the side of you know, gigs and whatever. He was always that was not a private private thing. He publicly smoked.
So I mean, I don't know if that was the cancer or not, but I mean, just when you lose somebody of that stature in the pop culture world, you know, a comedian of that ilk who didn't subscribe to one specific ideology. You know, it wasn't beating you over the head with he's got liberal you know thoughts or he's way conservative. He was so let me rip on everybody, let me riff on stupid crap, let me just do abstract, funny things. And it's like he was so introspective in
a way. But it's just it, I can't believe that he's gone. It's like the craziest shit that that came out of nowhere. Yeah, side very sad, nothing uh nothing else. Uh. We took our pool down, and it pissed me off because we've had three days of nothing but beautiful sunshine that we could have swam, beautiful weather. Beautiful weather. Last week was the shit. It was like seventy one in cloudy and we were like, all right, well we'll drain it,
we'll take it down. Whatever. And the last three days I've taken my children for walks, you know, around the neighborhood to get some gym time in and just you know, do something healthy and the kids, I mean the sweat. I can see my son because my son gets a buzz cut, and I could see a scout when we walk. It just dripping sweat. Just why are we not in
the freaking pool. Well, that's right, we need it prematurely again because we thought it was the summer was over, you know what I mean, And uh yeah, it's uh, Mother Nature, totally throw your eagles. They're back football. My Eagles could ask the other day and uh, you know, it's it's it's a good thing. I'm not going to get too hype about it because we've done this before and we've totally you know, face planet and then the season was over before it began. But we it's a
good start. Poop pooed the bed is what we like to Oh okay, now will you and Scottie having any kind of Dallas already? He started tweeted me already. I was like, bro, that's game one dude, so uh, you know it's on every year. We were of each other a little bit back and forth, but we'll see what happens. I can't stand the Cowboys, man, and I'm not the
only one. I just can't stand them. How about a friendly wager at the end of the season, whoever has the better record has to record themselves to in the American males. Oh, I'll do that anyway. The clap on that's fun. That's a fun dance to do. I like it. Oh, speaking of dances, I showed my daughter the safety Dance video from nineteen eighty four. Whatever you we show. We were laughing so hard. She's like, Mom, what kind of
dances that? I said, it's the safety Dance. It's an s and and I showed her where the guy's walking through the field. So random. But we were talking about like crazy dances that people used to do in the eighties, like that wouldn't get over today. Basically, and she's like, remember the pac Man and it was pac nan fever. I was like, I got one worse than that. And I showed her the safety dance and she thought it
was the most hysterical dance in the world. So when we were walking, she busted out with the s in the middle of the streets. So it's so dated when you look at it, but it was, oh my god, it's so bad. Oh yeah, it was great at the time, it was. It was just so bad. Like an Egyptian too. Oh I did them all well. I was trying to explain to her dancing on air. Remember dancing on air? Yeah? Do you watch that as it Yeah, and like I remember it, well, you were younger. So for me, I
was like thirteen fourteen. I would get home from school and I would want Dancing on air was like everything, you know. But they would play these songs and the kids would do the dances from the videos and you see people doing this. That is the worst dance move in the history of the world. I think it's worse than the Dad. It's just bad, you know, like the day No, no, the dove is the floss, They're all
they're all cringe. Now, my daughter tells me nobody does them anymore, so we have to come up with something new so they don't do the combination dab floss that we've called the bloss in this house. Oh, I don't know the way he does this whole thing, which should be called the Boss. No, I don't know about Virginia, but North that's a no. No. Oh god. So but uh yeah, I've been showing I was trying to Culture eighty. They know all the songs, but they haven't seen the videos.
So once in a while show them an old video and they're like, oh my god, it's so lame. You have it back then it was gold. Hey i'll tell you what now. I know we're not a fan of Dark Side of the Ring, but there's the Dark Side of the Nineties on Vice and it's all nineties pop culture.
It's pretty freaking awesome. I have to say. I watched the first episode or what maybe it's the second episode was the first one that I watched, and it was all about the Viper room in la Oh yeah, oh my gosh, so cool, just like the background on it and Johnny Depp and what like that. Oh so cool. I like the you know, it's not always about the wrestling. Somebody tweeted them and said, you should do an episode on me. I was like me, what do you find the dark about me? Yeah? I said, it's better to
pick somebody else, you know. It's I find it very strange that they haven't done and I know they've done ECW related people, but just an ECW specific episode. And what I think is is they're saving that for their like Coup de Gras. When they need to have like a full series, like a five part series on one topic,
they'll use ECW. But I find it strange that it hasn't been that way yet because obviously all the stories and everything that we've heard, you know, I'm sure they can spice it up to make it even more salacious. But this was very good. Now, look, it did deal with the death of River Phoenix in a very major way, but just the story behind the Viper Room was so awesome just to see it was like, you know how Studio fifty four in the late seventies was this hangout
for celebrities and it was this like safe space. The Viper Room acted the same way, but it was like it was like the guy from Counting Pros. I forget Adam. Something from Counting Pros was like on the Billboard charts with Counting Pros on the cover of Rolling Stone and the bartender at the Viper Room like and it was like nothing, he was just it said, he said it saved his life, like he was going down this dark path and the Viper Room saved him. Just crazy, crazy stuff.
So I highly recommend Dark Side of the Nineties on Vice. Okay, something uh, something I might be able to watch. Have you started heels yet? I have not, but I actually had my work It guy recommended to me too this week. Yeah, got to start. It's pretty good. It's pretty I watched for the most part. Yeah, I watched episode I'm I'm up to date. So this week was I think the
fifth episode. It's it's pretty good. I don't want to give anything away from those that haven't watched it, but if you like wrestling and you like Southern wrestling, this is something you'd be interested in. So use a lot of a lot of lingo. Oh yeah, and then they explained the lingo, which to me, i'lmost like, Yeah, I mean like serious necessary, like they're talking to if they're talking to like a family friend who's not around the business, and they'll go, oh, that's Kate Fabe. What does Kate
Fave mean? Well, Kate Fave mean, and I'm like, uh, glad I could do about It goes back to what Brian said earlier, you know about the the you know, the wrestling figure fan closet. It's like, this is stuff that I always knew of on one side of the of the landscape of life and never thinking it would
translate over to the other side. So I would never expect somebody who's not a wrestling fan to know about kfabe and lingo and stuff like that that we've learned from all the things that are out there, just you know, process it. Same thing with the wrestling figures. I've been doing this since the nineties. Never realized there was this many people out there that would jump on based off of a fan base. So it's just it's it's cool
to see how things have done evolved. There are so many different categories of things that people are into that they congregate for and get together and praise, and like the dungeons and dragons, you know, the people who play back. They have their own little language that if I sat in. I wouldn't know what the hell they're talking about. No, now, don't say that, because everybody's into something different. You're saying
you think you're the coolest person out there. I think it's fun that people have stuff that they can do. You know, if you like it, you like it. I don't judge anybody for what they like. You know, people are into different things. User you're a square, You're a dick, is what you are. But I say, be your own person. If you like it, go for it. Agree, that's what I said. I agree, it's just cool. I never would have thought it. Oh it's no, it's cool. I agree
with it. It It look, if I was in my mind, i'd probably be a part of their patreon if I if I was to think about it, because I know everything that those guys are talking about. It's it's probably a really cool group. But the response they get is unbelievable. But it's it's it's amazing. It's not just wrestling figures and dungeons and dragons, it's everything. That's what I said.
There there is a niche for so many different things out there that I've never probably even heard of, And everybody has their own universal language, That's what I'm saying. It's like the wrestlers have their carni k fave shit that they listen to and they know then they speak. Maybe the dungeons and dragons guys have their own words verbiage that they use that only they understand. Everybody's got something. That's what I was trying to say, Like, it's not
just wrestling, it's universal. There's so many different things out there, and I, you know, being in their world, in the Action figure world, I just was like, I didn't know half the things that were going on. But I adjust it, you know what I mean. I adjusted and I think I fit right in, and I just I did my best, and I got a micro brawler, so you're and I got a micro bowler and I didn't even know what it was and now I have one. Oh man, all right, well let's let's get into what we're going to do
this week on Patreo. Yeah, I have no clue what's going on. Okay, So we're going to head back to our favorite destination on the internet. We're heading back to BuzzFeed to check out a truer false the mind blowing food fact addition, So we're going to go through questions that are going to be true or false as it relates to different foods. You like food, right, Yeah, we're gonna blow your mind. I think. No, there's something that's gonna blow your mind. Hey hey hey hey wow. But
first of all, we go with the shoot names. Now we we we go with Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just trying to take outside the box because I will ask you some funny questions now coming off of our funny bad acting video that we watched last week. Whoever the uploader is has some of the best videos I've ever seen. Uh, so we are going to be checking out. Uh hang on, let me see which one I pulled here, give me one second, because I closed the window, do do I send it to the Queen of Extreme it is and
I quote uh the try not to cringe compilation. So it's gonna be mostly news clips and some awkward moments that we get to see captured on video. And uh for our match, this is one that I mentioned last week, I believe. Uh, but we are going to check out from IWA mid South Ian Rotten's promotion on me Eaton and Mark Wolf accompanied by the Queen of Extreme Francine versus Yes, mean and hard. I don't remember anything about this. Oh I think I think this is the one where
I got the thumbtack in my in my thumb. Yeah, this is gonna be an interesting one. We're probably not gonna be able to watch this whole thing because it goes on past the match. It's gonna have to be a definitely two part. But it's just a weird one because for like the last like thirty minutes of the video, it's a riot with Tracy smothers, but like it just keeps going on and on and the guys are talking over it, and it's like it stops and it's like
moving around like it's not really a right. I don't know, So we'll talk about it because I don't really know what to think. Hmm okay, but I just my question is gonna be out the ring. I don't remember. Shit, it's gonna trigger when you see this ring. It is disgusting so perfect, okay, yes, yes, So if you ever have an itch in a weird spot, it's probably because of that. That's from that night, Okay, perfect, that's where That's where I got it from. Oh guy, But that's
