1973 Podcast
1973 podcast Episode 70
And you know what, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, here we go. Episode number 70, and it's Father's Day weekend. So before we get started, I'm going to say Happy Father's Day to all your mothers out there and the mothers and fathers on this podcast. So the fuck is there you have it. So before we get going, I got a I got a bone to pick with this tournament this weekend that I'm at. They charged us $10 to go in and watch your own kid play. They gave you a risk that is I got a problem to the world of baseball, buddy. I can't believe it. You already paying for a tournament and then they get you to come in and watch your kid and put a 10 spot down. I just totally blown away with it. It's already the second time it's happened, I thought anybody from the panel before we get going on now, bro, they're trying to break you in for high school. Bro, my kid is eight. We played our, you know, whatever World Series tournament a few weekends ago, $20 a piece for me and Jaz to get in for one, I got to say, I never paid for baseball. It was a three day tournament. They tried to cut us a deal and say, well, you could pay like 50 bucks for the whole weekend as opposed to the 60. I was like, I'm paying $100 to watch my kid play baseball for the weekend after all the other fees and just to watch their team get absolutely fucking annihilated. What is the point of this? And then the, the snack bar, the concessions are like Disneyland prices, man, like give me a fucking break. They made a killing for sure. What was the tournament at the Astra don't grow sportsplex and Pascagula, like give me a break. It's not even a nice sportsplex. Dude, it's like average. Do they, do they at least have the trust to pee in or is our nice and air condition. So spoiler alert, that's why, that's why it's a hundred dollars, you're paying a hundred dollars to take a shit. Bro, but all, all the, all the tournaments are like that, though, every time we go to a baseball tournament, usually it's like 10 bucks a person to get in, you know, 10 bucks a day. But when it's the World Series, cause it's the, you know, basically the end of the season, it's the big one, um, they, they rack up the price, man. It's stupid. Terrible. Since when, since when did, um, your sports become big business like this, like, maybe they should kind of scale it back to maybe not having, I mean, I get, Andy, I mean, your post earlier today with, with the uniform, I mean, you know, if you're paying that much money for a tournament, I would, I'd have to say the swag on the, you know, should be a little bit better. I mean, don't give me a run. I like the jersey, but, you know, I mean, you know, I mean, you pay for the swag too. They don't give it to you. I mean, when, when you go into, uh, they get, they get you right off the rip. So with the hockey, it's all the same week, like this, say there's 50 teams in our area, all town, club, whatever, they have it the same week. So you can't even pick and shoot. You can only like maybe pick two teams you want to try out for. And then they'll pull out your hot strings, like a used car salesman to get you in there and whatever. It's as soon as you make the team within like 24 hours, they want already a deposit to hold your spot. And if you don't pay your money in a certain amount of time, your spot's gone. We'll take somebody else. Then once you get your spot, then they send you like this thing for the jerseys and not, it's not just the jerseys. It's like the, so you get the home jersey, the away jersey, you get the home and away socks to go with the jersey, then they try to hit you up for the pants, which really were required. But if you don't want to look like a vendor out there, you try to look kind of semi like you know what you're doing. And it's you could be in just for the jerseys and everything alone, 600 bucks easily. And that's not even wishing for the season. Every tournament's at least, I don't know, I've seen it between a buck 20 and 350, just just to play three or four games, then you're driving to stay like we're going to South Carolina next week. It's a hike that's 14 hours in the car. So yeah, I mean, we were at a tournament this weekend. Two weeks ago, there was another one. And this is just the summer type in September, it's going to be gun's place and we're going to Lake Placid this year. We're going somewhere else. God knows where we'll be all over the place, but not missing a podcast. We'll just say that. I'm not. Right. Where's the tenants? Right. This reminds me of a conversation. I remember here and you talk about, I don't know if it was, I can't remember if it was Austin or Dylan, but the conversation about traveling down the Cape for an elite tournament years ago. And it was like, if you can't have a bad attitude, we don't have to do this. Yeah, no, it's it's it's wild. The stories between the like brings me back to when Andy was talking about the the tryouts and they make you always feel like you've got the last spot against like an imaginary person. So you rush to get that deposit because you don't want the other person to get the last spot. And then you go to the first practice. There's only like 11 kids on the team. Yeah. Andy, I think we just found your new segment, but grinds your gears. Yeah. I'll tell you, you know, what grinds my gears is I watched now. Here's the show from my youth that I love. Now, you know, I am a head of Thomas fan and I do lovely mages. I watched the new fall guy movie. What a shit fest. I am like, what am I watching? It just I'll leave it at that. But I mean, we could do movie reviews for my segment or whatever, but that was absolute dog shit that movie. So don't even watch. I won't I and I refuse to watch new roadhouse. I refuse. I mean, you're not touching the old one. This plus I heard a rumor that Rob Zombie is doing his own remake of Jaws. The first one, so let's let's call you jets there Rob Zombie. Hey, I will say as a as an avid roadhouse fan, roadhouse like my top 10 favorite movie. I fucking have that movie. I can quote that movie from front to back when I watch it. Fucking love it. Can I say that enough? The new roadhouse cannot touch the old one, clearly, but there were enough little Easter eggs and nods to the old one, and Conor McGregor was hilarious. Is it as good as the original, absolutely not as it worth watching and you can suffer through it and it's still in a joint movie? Yeah, I think you would like it. The only thing that would save that new roadhouse Bradford is if Terry Funk was in it. Hey, you know, a lot of a lot of gripes with it, man, but Conor McGregor, he's the new Terry Funk dude, like Terry Funk was, you know, ECW, badass wrestling, Conor McGregor, UFC, badass, you know, so they they there are a lot of nods to the original. There's a lot of Easter eggs. If you watch it closely, you'll catch them. I thought it was good. I watched it two or three times because I thought it was that good. So we're we're segueing in perfectly to this week's email and you want to read this week's email because it has to do exactly with what we're talking about right now, take it away outfit. Absolutely. This is brought to you by Goongar, Goongar.com. Roadhouse. Check them out. What's that now? Roadhouse. So this one is watch along. So this that's the that's the title of the email. So this is from Abe from Bond, Germany. How about that? We are now we are we are going we're broadcasting across the pond now. Well, let me correct you there for a second and not to cut you off. But we have asked the professor. We have had multiple emails from outside the US. So go ahead. Well, I will say that, you know, we're goose stepping on one into the into another country here. So. Hey, I'll follow a comedy. Yeah. Look at that. So anyway, Abe. Take an easy saggis show. I know nothing. I know nothing. Okay. So, 1973 nation, I believe I have an idea that will bring more people to your content. You should create a special watch along for old TV and wrestling shows with your brand of comedy, make it separate from your weekly episodes. Well, Abe, I think that that's a wonderful idea. Um, you know, Abe, um, maybe you should, uh, if I'm just going to say this, maybe you could tap into some BMW money or some Mercedes money and whatnot and send it to us and we'll be more than happy to do that. I'm going to toss this one to, uh, the professor. What do you think they're, uh, Thomas? I am open to any and all ideas and, uh, if it's going to help the show, get more eyes on the show, I'm up for it, but I will say with talking about what you were saying about views and everything Germany, if you look at the, uh, stats, we've got probably a couple dozen downloads from all over the country in Germany. So we're pretty popular over there, I guess. The castle hall kids. Oh, maybe you can sell like one of those Beethoven maybe strips or something at the Beethoven house and like we've just set for the rest of our lives and we could do the podcast and not have to work. I, I think it's, I think it's a really good idea. I mean, when I first read the email when I was going through, I thought mystery science did. It was a great show. I always got to kick out at like the little zingers and because it's robots and it was is actually Jim Henson based show. Um, they take on like the old stuff like plan nine from outer space and B movies like that. I thought it was absolutely fantastic. That's the first thing I thought of when I sent it out, Brad responded with what I was actually thinking when I read it. So it does have wheels and I don't think it'd be an every week thing, but maybe we can, I was talking to the guys before we came on. Maybe we could pick an era and kind of watch it in chronological order and kind of watch like the story lines play out and just tear it apart or we could take a TV show and do the same thing. I think for copyright reasons, I think you have to do commentary over the actual TV show in order to post it. So we'll have to, I'll have to do a couple of trial runs with the guys with that. But I think it's a great idea. And I think our topic could be remakes of classic movies. Starting with warehouse, we should have started. That should be our first episode. We all homework, y'all have to go watch the original. And then we watch the remake and look, man, they remade dirty dancing. They remade footloose. They remade. Roadhouse. Top gun has a success. Ghostbuster says two sequels and they're actually pretty fucking good. I like them. You want to go watch them? I like them. I love them. I don't like the one with the chicks from Saturday Nightlife. No, the Saturday Nightlife one was a complete bust. The ones where they actually got the crew together, those are great. I'll be down for it, man. I mean, it's a top community, but I say we can make it work. I can make it work. Fancy? What do you got? I'm down. It's like a real life beat for somebody. It's funny, too. We all kind of plug into that quite nicely, don't we? Yeah. Like I said, it's all going to come before we move on from the topic. It's just going to have to come down to maximize in the time. And then also what we can actually upload, because I don't know if we can upload a whole movie. We can actually take it through there. We'd probably have to start with something small, half an hour, or under an hour to see how it goes. But I thought that was a great question. Two great emails, two weeks in a row, kind of. Absolutely. Thank you very much. There was a little bit of sarcasm with how I answered the question, but it really was a good question. And thank you very much for listening. We do greatly appreciate it. So I mean, you know, we could do like an all-in-a-family one, or we could do a mash, or we could do. This is going to be the segment that gets us all canceled and fired from work. I can't get fired from work, yeah, no, no, no, I can't use that. And you didn't say the Jeffersons, right? I know the Jeffersons too, I'm for sure. Good times. Oh, absolutely. All those 70 sheriffs. Oh, man. Fantastic. All of them. Yeah. Must watch TV. Yeah. When staying home and watching TV with the parents with the six, 10 and 12. And when everybody was on the same page, let's, you know, we'll keep it at that. So being in of a wrestling, let's talk some wrestling. Let's move away from the email, get away from Roadhouse. And let's talk some, we can talk clash at the castle. We can talk about our weekly WCW deep dive into who killed WCW. We're going to talk. Bradford, let's talk clash at the castle. It's on Saturday. What do you got? And I've been watching like the little clips from the pressers and the, the pre-shows. It looks like the crowd is just as turned up as France was. Drew McIntyre obviously is in his home country. He came out and the crowd went absolutely ballistic. Like how can you not be a fan of Drew McIntyre right now? I know Chris is going to be so mad because we want to Damian Priest to win the title. But look, Drew McIntyre is the best heel we have seen in a while. Give this man a title, let him be the heel. He plays it to a tee face Drew McIntyre, we're boring as shit. He'll Drew McIntyre is epic and it's just building up for a clash of seeing him punk down the road. Damian Priest is boring as shit as a champ anyway. He had it. He got the bell. He had his run. Whatever. Okay. Drew McIntyre needs to win in Scotland. I don't see how he doesn't leave without that bill. And setting up for a showdown with CM Punk is just going to be epic. So let me cut in right there and I give you my fantasy book and as I like to, does CM Punk show up without being announced and screw Drew McIntyre at the end to not win? Or does Drew McIntyre win the belt and it sets up the two of them for his return at Summer Slam in a, okay, cause I don't think they're going to screw him over in his home country. They like to give the home country people their, their credit and their due just like Rio Ripley when they went to Australia, you know, they let her play it up. I think Drew McIntyre wins it just cause hometown hero. Uh, I saw the professor and the phantom, both chuckling because I know that the role of decks was going, but I'm going to go to the phantom first and I want the thoughts on that. I think, uh, I think the best thing going off coming off of Damien Priest is, listen, dirty, dumb. That, that's like one of my, one of my favorite things going on right now. And it's, uh, you know, two people I could really kill us about going into it, but start telling those good stories. He said, I want to see where it's going to go and that that's a little school. That's how I like how to use the women as, as far as like in, in wrestling angles, she's the champion. She's, you know, active part of the wrestling. But the soap opera esque stuff makes it makes for good TV. Yeah. Yeah. I, I still a couple of pages from, you know, people blow up the ECW for the wrong reasons, but there was that stuff that was pop culture based in storylines that was going on at that time with the music and like the whole rate memo and Raven had all that stuff. Yeah. Come on. I mean stuff with his voice. See, you need to steal a page or two for, I think full circle bliss is going to end up being with them and they're going to turn real good when she comes back. You never know. I mean, I live more. Right. Yeah. You said Alexa Bliss, Ryan, um, yeah, hey, she's like the spitting image. You have Alexa Bliss though. I mean, I get a mixed up. You can get a mixed it up with the lights on or off, right? Professor, bring us back to true. No, what do you got? Well, you know, it's funny because I went into this thinking that Damien Priest was going to win. And now I like what Brad said about the hometown and then Drew McIntyre today broke a babe and isn't they had like the kickoff press conference. You broke a babe and he was talking about his wife, his wife's going in for surgery, uh, emergency surgery and she's going to miss the pay-per-view. So she's not going to be there when he fights. So I wouldn't be surprised if they give it to him, but I do think somewhere along the lines, Damien Priest, I could see it somewhere where they turned Damien Priest face and just fits better with having all those European guys, like even if they put Drew McIntyre in there, Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor and JD McDonough, those three right there are all European. Now, I do agree, I think Ray Ripley, when she comes back, is going to be a face because of what's going on with Dom and what's the name. But I think Dom may end up, I think they may end up just having him go out and do his own thing. I think he may just kind of go, I don't think say they'll kick him out, but I think he'll just leave and go on his own. Well, I thought that we're going to blow up Judgment Day way back, Russell Menah or a little after, but I think Priest loses, that's going to implode Judgment Day, McIntyre wins, he's going to be a heel champ that we, you know, we desperately need right now because you know, I read online too that the execs are kind of pissed off right now because since Cody won the sales and viewership and attendance has been way down. So we need, we need something to kind of stir it up. So I think McIntyre winning is going to be what they need for sure. Speaking of that, I see it correctly that Roman Reigns is going to be on NXT next week. Did I see that correctly? I don't know, I didn't see it. I didn't see that. Okay. Cody Rhodes was on NXT last week, last Tuesday. I was talking with Brad, I don't know if he posted it on a trend that we have during the week with stuff we're talking about, but it seems like NXT is the new AEW. It seems like it's getting the viewership that they're stealing from Wednesday night on AEW and now you got Ethan Page over there. I'm curious to see what they can do with him because he's a good sized guy, met him with the kids, all he wants to do is talk hockey because he was from Canada, he was talking to him about hockey, I thought it was fantastic. So when you meet somebody like that and they make that kind of connection, you kind of root form as a person. So I want to see what in that wrestling bubble of what they can kind of do with him because he is athletic, he is a bigger dude. So he does fit what they're trying to. If they are stealing guys a little bit at a time, that's a good one. Anybody have any thoughts on Ethan Page before we bounce because I wanted to talk quick about Ricochet? >> I don't have to go out and eat them page, no. >> No, I like what they're doing, they're bringing in all the Cody's boys. >> You're right. >> Right. >> The rumor is that TNA is under so much that they're falling apart right now, they're actually fired like three of their head of creative within the last two weeks and the rumor is that it's quietly TKO or whatever they call it that owns WWE, they're trying to buy TNA and that's why you're seeing Jordan Grace showed up on, she's been fighting on thing. Moose has already mentioned that he actually asked Jordan Grace to say a good word with John Michaels so he could try to come over. I think slowly you're going to see them kind of combine. >> I wouldn't be surprised if somebody from the TNA shows up at Clash of the Castle like is a secret appearance, wouldn't be surprised at all. >> Now the traction that I don't like when they announce that guys are leaving, it would have been cool just to see Ricochet get put out Rey Mysterio style and then you don't know what's going on. I think they give away too much when the outside stuff, I think they can't keep their mouth shut. I think they need to start doing some non-disclosure agreements with that kind of thing, but Phantom thoughts on the Ricochet. >> I mean, I think that's the way that they should put guys out. If you're switching companies, then you should be like the old days, you got to kind of put somebody over or ever be an injury or somebody broke your leg and then you're gone and you know, whenever you show up after a couple of months, then it's like you're healed. So when you went somewhere else, you ran them out of town. >> I'm with you on that one, I'm always with you. >> So I saw a thing too with Osprey and he was talking about Ricochet and he was pretty much saying that he's like the way that WWE uses him, he's like only using like, I don't know if it was like a third of his moveset, like all those matches were only like 10 minutes long, that if they actually gave him more time than what they did, like the guy should actually be a superstar because I guess I don't know if he wrestled with him in Japan or wherever they were together. I guess they were having like epic matches and he was like, should be like a top guy, but I don't know if it was his size or his style. So maybe if he does go to EEWL, it'll benefit him because they probably wrestled more of his abilities. >> Yeah, he has no cell, that's the other 2/3 of his moveset kicking out from pile drivers on the concrete, that's- >> He has the personality of a brick wall. He has the moves in the ring, he can do all the acrobatic stuff, but let's be real. Logan Paul does a better Ricochet than Ricochet does. Does the same moves with the personality, Carmelo Hayes who also sucks on the mic, and I'm so tired of seeing these stars bitching about not having their time in the spotlight. You can't cut a promo, you don't deserve it, man. That is the huge part, like you can't, Carmelo Hayes fucked up a promo just a couple of weeks ago and LA Night saved him, right? Carmelo is a better Ricochet, they're Ricochet. So if you want to, and I love Ricochet, man, I'm a huge fan, but you can't, you can only flip off the top turnbuckle so many times, if I'm like, you got to get a new bit. >> Not everybody on the roster could be a full- >> Hey, man, guy. >> Yeah, Samantha Irvin has probably kept him in the spotlight and on the roster longer than he used to, he probably doesn't even realize that. >> I don't think he's going to- >> I don't think he's going to- >> I think he's going to take a break, he's going to play the market and he's going to have a WWE maker offer and that WWE counter and he's going to go with, he's staying where Samantha's at, he's not leaving her. As soon as he's gone, let's be on. >> Andy, Andy and Ryan and Tommy, Brad, sorry, brother, I'm tossing you out cuz you're the young guy here, but isn't this what they used to do with guys that weren't as good on the mic? They make them a tag team champion and they put them with somebody that was really good on the mic. I mean- >> Yeah, me and Joe. >> Right? >> Well, there's two guys that they always talk about that because of the structure of the WWE F, WWF at the time. >> EFG, H.J.K. on the release. >> Right. >> The rest of me? >> They stuck the Grand Wizard with Billy Graham and he didn't even need the Grand Wizard. I mean, they worked well together, but they didn't need him and the other one is Rick Frewd would Bobby Hannon. You're taking two guys that were like, I understand why you put them together, but they don't need what you bring to the table from each other. I mean, Big John Studd and Bobby Hannon, yeah, King Kong, Bobby and Bobby Hannon, yes, but no Rick Frewd and Bobby Hannon, but I wonder- >> Who are you gonna get to manage Ricochet? All the managers are bigger than. >> Well, they need the tag team partner with the personality. >> Yeah, that's my point. >> He had an interview with MVP. >> You're installing her at my point, Brad. >> Yeah. >> MVP had an interview the other day and he actually said that he tried to get Ricochet into the hurt business when he started and for whatever reason, creators said no. >> Wow. >> It's the role of the Dye Stone, but look right now, say what you want about CM Punk, he has gone to NXT during his off time and his mentor, Trick Williams. That's where he's working with him at. It's not his in-ring presence, his skills or moves, it's the mic work. Because again, Trick Williams, huge athlete kind of sucks on the mic. But Trick Williams is so over with the fans, you get that his my skills polished up. He's gonna make the jump to the main roster and very soon. And seeing Punk is helping him with that. Ricochet needs somebody like that. >> Go ahead, Tom. >> But you could also go back to back in the day, I mean, look at Kamala. I mean, Kamala good over, all right? >> Yeah. >> I mean, look at Kamala, look at George the animals still, nice, nice. I mean, come on, man, he good over too. So the thing about it is just like, the thing is is that these guys, they don't listen to the people that have been there before by help. That's the biggest part of them with all of them, period. And I don't even watch WWE anymore because I don't. And then AEW don't like it because the product sucks. Because funny story is just that all of us on this program, if we got loaded into a plane and stuffed in a room, I know we can come up with better story lines and anything they got. >> We're doing it right now. >> Yeah. >> I'll turn it up, man. >> Speaking of Kamala, this is just a rapid fire question. Phantom, Kamala, Hall of Fama. >> Uh, I don't know, go. >> [LAUGH] >> Kim Chi, Hall of Fama? >> No Friday. >> [LAUGH] >> So let's talk one of the things we've been doing all kind of spring season. I were at Dockside of the Ring. Now, the second week of Who Killed WCW Thoughts on my first thing was the Eric Bischoff story. Do you feel bad for him? Do you kind of, what's the thoughts? >> No, hang on, hang on till the non-roll. >> Let's give Ed the floor because he didn't chime in too much during the last segment. So go ahead Ed. >> Well, first and foremost, I can respect Eric for the fact is that he got thrust into a position where he had an opportunity to take it and he ran with it. He took the bullet and he ran with it, he did a great job. He attached his wagon to the wrong force being hogan. And it just seems like all the stuff that you hear is, this happened. So I did this and I did this and this and that and all this other shit. And it's like, come on, bro, there's an excuse for everything on why you did something. Come on, man, like, oh, like, hold it. Be like, look, hogan had eyes on the TV screen, like, hold it. Come on, man. >> My God. >> And no, it's enough. I mean, you made at least half a million dollars in all those t-shirts you made out of Rhode Island, dude. Come on. >> We have a guest. We, Ed, do you want to give him the floor, too? >> I'm going to give the floor to Christal, the ice cream man. >> The ice cream man, listen, here we are live at Midget Mayhem in time. There is a show and a half going on in there. I wish I had service to bring it to you guys. I got videos. If you want it, we'll get it later, load it up on the podcast. But man, it's loud in there. It's awesome. These guys are spanking each other a little silly. It's great. I love it every minute of it. >> We got two demands. We want to run in and in a rest video. >> That might happen tonight. Don't request too much because, you know, I'm in real form. >> So, Chris, we're going to stay with you as long as you want, get us the best we can, and then we'll attach it to the podcast. All right, I can sneak in there for a bit, but if you lose me, there's what it is. All right, guys. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> All right. >> This is crazy. >> We lost him. >> Oh, Andy's gone. We made it to the door a little bit. >> [LAUGH] >> Andy, you got him. >> Chris can take it out. >> Look at pictures, the video of that kid that got tased the other day on the baseball field. He did a backflip. He'd run it on the field and did a backflip, and as soon as he finished a backflip the guy tased him, there's a close-up of his bacon. There he is. He's back again. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> You say he got to look it up, right, Tom? >> Yeah. >> It's a metal fortress in there. It's a metal fortress in there, man. >> All right. >> As soon as we go in there, I lose everything. >> All right, cool. Just go back, tear it up, and send us some videos. I'll add it. >> I will do that. All right, guys. I lose it must appear on the podcast. Hey, do me some justice, tear it up over there, all right? >> Keep your pants on tonight, Chris. >> Yes, sir, Mr. I see. >> Never that. Never. We don't keep pants on. You just saw that. Come on, guys. >> You can't use his ice ice baby, no. >> You can't use that excuse that you went to see midget wrestling and your pants blew off. >> Oh, my God. He's out. Lost him. >> Thomas. Thoughts on who killed WCW? Let's get back to- >> I thought it was really good. I actually caught up with both episodes and I thought it was really good. I really liked the second one, and it does make it a little sympathetic towards him, but to be honest with you, he's got to grow a set of girl pair of balls. If you're in that business and he plays off like he's this big businessman, you got to play businessman, you got to fight back if you don't agree with something. Don't cow-tow to these guys and granted the execs have money or the money, but Ted Turner in the end, Ted Turner had all the money at that time and he was the only guy that liked the wrestling. I think he would have been all right, but the whole Goldberg stuff, I never liked him and I don't like him after seeing that. >> What I take away from it is if you ever want to kill your- we can put this message out to Tony Kahn with AEW. You give somebody creative freedom of their character and you're not the final say, it's a slow death or a quick death. How else can you put everybody from when Nash got the book? Everybody is kind of self-serving when it comes to that stuff and they're going to put themselves over and the way they had something there with Goldberg. He was a big part of that 83 weeks where they were rolling and to have that streak end like that and especially, like Christoff said, if he loses to a 6'10 giant, then that's kind of believable, but was he the guy to do it, Hogan put him over a clean, which for him is a big thing, he was eventually going to get that win back somehow. But yeah, it's a lot of talking heads and you always don't know who to believe because hindsight, looking back on it, they can backtrack too. And like Fishoff had said, those guys are the ultimate politicians, so how do you know that they're not politicking in an interview? I mean, you see a lot of shoot interviews that they contradict themselves. Let's look as notorious for that with the whole Miss Elizabeth thing, so thoughts, Phantom? The thing that I thought was cool about it was when they were talking about the Goldberg gimmick, which to me was always like the Virgin of Stone Cold and the Black Trunks and all that. I was like more of a play on the Mike Tyson thing, but who's shot boots? I didn't know that. I thought that was pretty cool, which kind of made sense. I mean, Tom just said he didn't like him, so we're going to go against what I like. At that time, when he was doing that run, everybody liked him. He was like, flavor of the month or whatever it was, the way they first brought him out and he didn't have any music and he didn't, he was going against Hugh Morris and he kind of had that squash match and then the whole thing with the streak was really, really good. But then they have him dropping it with the cattle prod. It's like kind of like what we talked about with Sting dropping and getting the adults off of Hogan. Great story, right through and then that's the conclusion that that's how you can make them lose the belt. And then to have Hogan get the adult from NASA, the way they did it, ridiculous just so just made the part of tarble. I'm a side guard heater first, thank you. Randy, I'm going to ask you this question because I know that you're going to know where I came from with this. I mean, Bishop Care loses some credibility because Bishop said that Bret Hart has no talent. You know where I got that from. Was it from a cereal box? Maybe. Yeah, I mean, isn't it Hulk Hogan that said that Brahad had no talent? I mean, that was one of the things that when he took the belt back from Yokozuna, when Yokozuna beat Brahad, he said he had to take it back because Brahad had no talent. I know that he, these stories, it's almost like stories on a reality TV show. They never seem to jive all the time. I thought Kevin Sullivan was great talking about going back to what the Phantom said about the Mike Tyson look. It was Kevin Sullivan that he had said that and I think that, I don't know what Kevin Sullivan was doing at the time, but maybe he was the right guy to take the book for America Bishop at the time. Instead of Kevin Nash, well, who knows, who knows, 83 weeks, that's, that's a long time to be rolling like they were, but the best guy that, that seems to talk the most open and honest to me and I think Conan Conan, Conan, he, he just, if you want to get not age well either, he's had a lot of liver problems, only 18, we're going to say he's probably 85. Yeah, that's, that's some hard living right there, we'll leave it at that. But yeah, Brahad, what should take on this week's episode? I mean, I, I agree with what y'all said, you know, when the professor said, you know, I wasn't a big fan of Goldberg either, like growing up, I was like, who the hell is this guy, ex NFL player trying to make it big and my wrestling, like don't come in here with your washed up career, but he was so over and it was so fun to watch. Like you were, I was in for it, man. I don't know why you would explode that or implode it rather when it was, they were cooking with Goldberg, man, like do they, the WWE just go in and destroy undertakers of undefeated at WrestleMania? No, like it was a work, it was a long time that they built that up. Like, why would you do that to Goldberg? You're beating the competition, you're beating the brakes off of WWE. But I think what you said, 80 Tony Collins, he's watched these episodes and take notes because what he's doing right now, it's the similarities are, it's on real. And when he gave creative and booking over to Kevin Nash, I was like, oh, this, well, this makes a lot more sense now because I remember that chain of events. Like, as a kid, y'all think I was in high school watching that and when Nash just laid down and Hogan pin him up was not a fan of that and Nash was like, listen to the crowd. They, I was so over. They loved it. And I was like, bro, I don't know what you're hearing. It sounds like they're booing. It's just this kind of wack, like this whole process, do I feel bad for Bischoff? No, he got ousted by executives and financiers and CEOs and bookworms that are way more into it than he was. Like, he was in way over said, he was a sales guy. He got ousted by guys that were down into the legalities and into the leads of it, man. And did you see where his, he retired to Wyoming, but I don't feel bad for him. Yeah, he's living the best life ever, making these documentaries out to t-shirts, bro. Yeah. Yeah. I think AEW really needs to look at what happened with how they let Kevin Nash book these and they're even Bischoff said he was trying to please too many people. And it just, it imploded on itself, man. Like you can't do that. But it's got a line somewhere, but it goes back to, like, the thing about it is better to reiterate your point and his point, Ryan's point, and Tom's point. The thing about it is just that the blow off on YAEW and WCW shit the bed is because it, it, the story lines great up until the point and then when the blow off happens, it's crap. Yeah. They didn't know they were doing it over. Look at that. Look at that whole devil gimmick that, that AEW did was really cool, but I mean, what's the same screwed up when he got hurt? Well, same shit. Yeah. Yeah. So like when they blow it, when they blow it, when they blow it off, it's crap. And like, WWE always seems to have like a play on leg. Okay. This is where we're going with the story. Like, blow up happened, where we're going to next, but you look at the difference between the two of them, they WCW gets brought hot coming off of a screw job with zero plan for them. But then going the other way, when Jericho went to WWE, into the superstar. By instant. Y2J. Yeah. It's like, I can't see how you're going to invest, what do you say, $2.5 million contract that he got? Yep. You're the only plan is just to have him show up on Monday, you know, just get that initial pop just like AEW does the biggest, the biggest thing they ever do with any of the guys is the first day they show up. Then after that, they got nothing else for him and it's sad. The thing that kills me about when they get these guys is don't tell anybody you signed them. Have them sign an NDA and so that it's all hush hush. You don't even tell you're in a circle of EVPs or whatever that you got them. Whether you get written, say Ricochet, and then if, is it better to save him for a surprise on a TV show with out being announced, or is it better to do like they do wait a very few people pay for the pay for views anymore and then you got to wait until one in the morning because the pay for views are like six and a half hours. And then this, I think all the, I think the ratings changed all that because now it's like the only reason why they want to get these guys is for the ratings. So they're going to tell you ahead of time that he's coming because if he just shows up and nobody's watching, you'll have the chance to get the ratings for him. So two similarities there though, Andy, right? WCW in this episode said they were putting these great matches on Monday nights that should have been put on pay per view. They would have made a shit ton of money. AEW is doing the same thing. The put on great matches that should be reserved for their premium or pay per view is what they call them, right? And it's like it's mind-boggling why they're not doing that, man. So the point is the same mistakes. Any anybody that watched wrestling growing up in the 70s or 80s, they never gave you nothing for free. They wanted you to go and pay your money to see the payoff. It was like the first really big angle that I remember as a kid that really stands out that was like an old shit moment was. Now I wasn't a Bruno fan because Bruno was already done when I started watching, but he was back and it was like Bruno was like the Gordy Howe or the, he was like the guy that like built the WWF in there like the way they present them and he would come on as a commentator or whatever. He would wrestle every moon, but it was like, and then Larry Zabisco, who was his protégé turns on him and hits him with a chair and Bruno gets bloody on TV. And I was like 70, that was probably seven years old when it happened. And that whole year with the buildup to the Shea Stadium show, people wanted to freaking kill Larry Zabisco because of that, because some of us had never seen Bruno wrestle. So we're like, oh shit, this guy's getting back in the ring to take care of business and you had never really seen him. So it was always like Bruno would do like maybe a show at the gun. So and it was all like warm up matches and he was just fighting job is, but you were going as one to go to the gun so you could see Bruno live because you were never seen it more. So they lose that luster by giving you too much on TV. There's no, it's like a hot apple and just keep putting a little air in it, a little air in it and just let it go, let it go and I don't get the philosophy of not building a ticket sale, put NASA's in seats, say what you want about Hogan, but you know, if it all about spending money and getting you to go, Hogan in the eighties was changed wrestling, changed it, changed the whole landscape and wrestling experience, baby. All that stuff. I mean, they were on MTV, they sat in a night's min event, they were on prime time. They never had that before that. And so I would always like the NWA because it was more sports based of what I like in the finger point of doom that, you know, the Hogan Kevin Ashley is not sports based present. You would never see that in the UFC. Why wouldn't you? You know what I mean? That's, that's what I'm saying. Look at your wrestling product. Like with the UFC do that, if you say no, then don't do it. Try to be sports based to spend the disbelief of, hey, these guys really like shooting in a match or do these guys really hate each other? And don't go on Twitter and be buddies after that. Just present it though, in a way for an intelligent audience, not smart marks. Yeah. Did I, did I go off too much on that one there, Professor or what? Rise my gears. Yeah. Rise my gears. Yeah, what's that, Brett? No, I did like what Kevin Nash said when they gave him booking power. The first thing he said in the interview was a face of the sell tickets, it put asses in the seats. He'll champion is do that. I'm like, Oh, well, it's funny. I know Tom wants to dive in, but I will say that the professor and the phantom will agree with me that the chase is in the heel champion, the money is in the heel champion because you hate him so much. You just want somebody to beat him and people nowadays don't have the mindset to to wait, you know, it's a, it's a instant gratification and when you make him wait and you make him wait, you get more and more heated. So there is a philosophy to that too. That was always the WWF versus the NWA. The money was always in the chase of the heel champion, highly race, the replays. So do you want to add to that there, Professor? Well, what I was going to say was about the WCW thing was I liked how they had, I know the rocks production company did this, produced this, but I liked how they had him on there given the WWE perspective and saying like, oh, they were watching it backstage and how Conan was saying that he was when WWE finally started coming back, how he and he, I think he said it was disco inferno or it was buff bag or one of the two were watching WWE backstage and they were giving him shit and he was like, Hey, it's good. Yeah, I wonder if they're ever going to bring up the thing with Bischoff that he fired stone cold. When he was stunned at Steve Austin, he fed ex them when he was home. That was always the, no face to face. They would always hit you when you were home with the thanks, but no thanks. So, you know, if they had just kept on keeping on with Steve Austin, I know he would have never turned into stone cold, but I mean, he was, that character was always there was just hidden under the robe in the long, blowing, balding hair. More wrestling talk, or you want to move on and talk some sports, sports. All right, it's time for Tom Shady pics. Nope. Okay. He picks is brought to you by Brock Street Broome Company, located at 244 Brock Street South in Whitby, Ontario. Everything they brew is in house, including their beers, their Celsius, their vodka sodas and the hard ice teas. So if you're in the Whitby area, go check them out and tell them in 1973 broadcast sent you. All right. This week, I'm running out of like getting out of the easy way and picking sports finals. So I'm going to go back to going back to the fantasy baseball and I'm going to say pick them off tonight. Yeah. We'll get into that by like 20 something. Yeah. I'm going to go with the catcher from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Michael Smith next week, he's got six games, four of them are against Colorado in Colorado and two are against the Angels. And I just think he's, he's, he's batting 294 with 10 homers. I think it's just Colorado's made for him with his, he's got that swing that hits along the slide balls, get it up, get it up in that air and he's going to hit a couple low. I think he's going to have a big week. So what before we get into the NBA finals, the NHL finals, we want to mention a passing of a legend this week. One of the guys that when I first started watching sports and basketball was on him and Dr. J, were probably the one and two when I started watching it and fond memories of, you know, Jerry West and his, his foul shooting was always a thing when I was a kid that I was enamored with Thomas. You want to add to the Jerry West passing? Yeah. The guy, he's a legend. I didn't realize that the silhouette was him on the NBA logo. I never realized that. I don't know why I never knew that, but I mean, the guys he won at West Virginia, he was an NBA champ, finals MVP. And I mean, the guy was a great GM with the Lakers. I mean, they won, I don't know how many championships with him, but the story I liked was this week, Joe Missoula played at West Virginia. He said when he was playing there, he said, he got a phone call from Jerry West and Jerry West ripped him a new ass. He said he, about 15 minutes long, he says, all he did was yell at him. You know how you've got such a great opportunity and you're pissing it away and giving him a hard time. And he said it helped him. He says that's how he, he says, he's one of the ones that takes that and feeds off of it. And they became pretty good friends. He said that he actually stayed at Jerry West's house in California during the summer, one year. And he said that one time he got up and he was late for the workout that he was supposed to do. And I don't know if it was with Jerry West or not, but he said, Jerry West just started yelling at him, told him not to eat breakfast, just get on the, he said, you know, does, you haven't worked up an appetite yet, go out on the court and work up an appetite before you eat. So he has said he had to go out there and work out, but it's just good stories. And I've never really heard a bad, bad thing about him. Phantom, do you want to bring these guys up to speed on the show that you keep trying to tell me to watch about the Lakers and the Jerry West character? You got to watch it. It's so good. So good. The title is like escaping me right now. What's it called? Showtime? Showtime. Oh, yeah. How was that? Yeah. Have you, have you watched that? No, it's on my list though. Oh, yeah. You got to watch it. Especially if you came up during that, during that time, it's, it's funny because you look at how they cast, how they cast the different characters and it's like, you're first looking at them going, and I think they kind of could have got somebody better, but as the show goes along, they actually nailed it quite a few of them. It's, it's actually really, really good. So the Jerry West thing that I is noteworthy that he went to the NBA final seven times before he won his first title. That's pretty amazing. So talk about, talk about the first player to lose, to win the MVP on a losing team. Yeah. So we've, since this podcast has started, we've lost so many of the, the people that we grew up watching. So we just put some basic perspective when you, when you see these things, that's because we're becoming the old people. We're all getting older, we're all getting older, I'm still in my prime. We're still sexiest, we're still sexiest, fuck Bill Bradford. Just as your baby face professor over there. Yeah. Maybe he's not available, just saying, I disappoint everyone. Yeah. So let's talk NBA finals. Let's go with the mayor of Hasid County in his mass. And Bradford, what do you think there's nothing to talk about, man, like they're getting smoked as a blot every week, every game. Tom called it, you know, the shutdown Kyrie, you're going to have a different, different ball game, which they've done pretty effectively, but Lucas is not getting any help. He's a huge liability on defense. And like I said, before the series started, like they battled through the West, they're at a point now where their star players, Luke and Kyrie are tired, they're exhausted, they're playing injured. And I've been watching this game because it's been on during our podcast, but in game three, Lucas shot was just like, they just looked deflated. Every shot he took, every play, every move, he just, he's not looking like he can go the distance. And that kind of leads me to my point. Like if you want to win a championship, Luca, bro, you're 25 years old, your professional athlete, get in shape, man. Go hit the gym, get your cardio up, get your weight up, build some muscular endurance. That way you can go to the distance in the finals. There's blowing out Boston right now, but let's be honest, there's no money to be made in a four game sweep and any championship series. We knew that we're going to get at least one. They're going to take you back to Boston to blow them out tomorrow series over and a win in the garden, they'll win at home for Boston and then not tomorrow the 17th is the next game. Boston wins it series over NBA, make their money off five games. Professor, you want to answer that? It's just the Celtics just have too many weapons right now. I mean, the secondary guys for the Dallas aren't doing anything. I mean, the three guys, Gafford, Jones and Lively, I mean, neither none of them are averaging double digits right now in the series. Listen, that's no defense, my God, dude. Celtics have five guys and double figures averaging double figures for the series right now. It's just in the defense, they just stepped it up defensively and I mean, they're just they're frustrating, don't you? So bad. I mean, and that brings me to another thing with, and Brad and I were talking about it before we went on the air. He's just, I'm so sick of seeing him whine and it's not just him, the whole league does it now, but it's like every play with him, all he does is, first thing he does is look over at the reps and start crying and I think it has affected the series. I think the referees have stopped calling things because he complains too much. Yeah. Phantom want to add anything for you, Celtics? Yeah, you know, I'm glad I get to see him win. I don't, I don't really enjoy it the way that I used to enjoy it, but you know, it's still my favorite team. So you want to, you want to see the championship get in, but as I'm watching, dude, Tatum, that guy's got this zero killer gene for a guy that's like a superstar. I don't want to say socks, but it's like big games, he doesn't do shit. And it like any, anybody that's like your top guy, like y'all go to guy, go go back to the past. The best guys are always the best guys and it's like, you're playing in the finals and it's like, this guy doesn't do shit when it comes. I don't know, man. I think kind of blows. So you're kind of comparing Tatum to add in the championship game. Oof. Superstar. It doesn't show up. Drunk during the championship. I have pitches to prove it and a black guy. Oh, yeah. That's a story for another podcast. Yeah. Yeah. Professor, we're moving on from the basketball. So it can start the clock. Yeah. Put it down. Darren Scottie. You've got three weeks in a row. We've talked basketball, right? And we didn't even talk home. Globe Trotis. So let's, let's, let's get back to our true and what the Stanley Cup finals. Florida Panthers, that's the way hockey should be played. Grind them out, make them pay. Do they finish it in four or does it go five? Professor, let's not win deal. I think it's over. I think I predicted five, but I don't think it's, I don't think it's going five, but they just, to me at Edmonton, they're not getting, it's funny because Edmonton's actually getting secondary scoring and Florida's shut and dry side on McDavid down. I mean, they're getting shots on that, but they're getting shots that, I mean, out too deep where it's not, not effective and the defensively, I mean, Bob Robsky up until this last game, I think he had like a string of like 12 straight games where he hadn't given up more than two goals in a game. And thoughts on Edmonton's power play from a guy that didn't get a lot of power play time. I don't really have much to talk about about their power play because this, this series is 100% gold tending and Thomas, I disagree with you because the thing about it is last night, Edmonton had 18 shots from the slot last night and they didn't hit it. So the thing about it is this that I think honestly, game one and game three Edmonton outplayed Florida, but to both Thomas's and Andy's point, Florida is just built to win the Stanley Cup playoffs. All these other teams that like they've matched up against were built for the regular season. These guys are like sandpaper and they grind and grind and grind and grind and they score timely manner and Bob, he's the wall man. And the thing about it is that the goal and what is it, let's see, his same percentage is like what? 820 something versus 886, I think or 896, you're going to win every time. And Thomas to your point, bottom line is is that the big, the dry cycle, zero points, right? Zero points. See, and I'm not even the professor on that, but I know this. This is true, you are correct. The thing about this series is it's amazing when you get the whole team buying in to a philosophy and it's not that devil's trap crap that it's born to watch. You cannot tell me that watching the Panthers play that style is not fun to watch. It's long overdue. You know, they're heavy on that four check. You watch that four check and those guys are like rabid dogs trying to get that puck or break up some kind of play or a frustrate dry cycle and McDavid. And for me, I always say that you can beat a team multiple times during the season because you're not playing them back to back nights. You stop playing the team with that kind of style for a seven game series. If you're not ready for it or you're like, we got the talent to beat that. No, you don't. No, you don't. Phantom thoughts on the series. Are they done? Yeah. The thing. Yeah. I hope that had been to get least. Oh, no. Let them into like, look like, make it a little bit interesting. I agree with that. I thought it was going to all play them two out of three games. It's uh, this Florida sounds like structurally sound. That's the difference. That's the difference. The veteran coach versus rookie coach, maybe if the adjustments I'm being made on the oil is side, I almost kind of feel like the, uh, the oil is, uh, knew that the Panthers were going to come in and tough. And it's almost like they're coming in with the attitude like they're not going to pump us like they do to everybody else and they're kind of getting out of their game a bit. It seems like Edmonton's the one that's kind of playing actually a little dirty as if to say like, you know, you're not, you're not going to pitch us out here, but it's, they're kind of not playing the game because of it. And then I think the superstars, uh, I don't know, I'm sure they're definitely pressing, but they're trying to do too much rather than just, just, you know, play within the, like the Panthers play within your system and do your thing. I hate when they go on the power plate and I've seen them score there a thousand times. But Joyce had a legs to take that shot from like almost like on the goal line, like below the half wall. Fuck man. Work that thing back up the bush, I didn't, I didn't fucking rip it and just crash the net. I am not a bush on fan. I think he's overrated. Oh, I think I think he's good for, you know, he's like in the public, you know what I mean? Any tapped out in the show from X off, go to go to, get in there and put you to sleep. I also, they'll never say it, but they always show it like they'll zoom in on a guy's face that's having a bad game and they won't say his name, but they'll just show him like having a bad day on the bench and he's one of them. And in the Rangers series, they were doing it to what, what's his name on defense, John Dre Miller. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All the time. It's like. He's looked like he didn't even belong there to tell you the truth away he was playing, giving up box up the, up the wall and stuff like that. Terrible. Terrible. Like a lot of times too, they have like, uh, like lazy journalism where it's like, if you've got a guy that's on the top here and he's playing half the game, they love to throw the plus minus out of, oh, he's been on the, he's been on the ice before goals. The series, he's like, he's playing almost the whole fucking game. Like, yeah, you're losing the series, he's going to, he's going to have minuses. I'd like, Nersh has been playing like shit, but it's like shit last night, big time, but they're not losing because of him, he's just out there all the time. If he doesn't, if he's not on the team and you're not getting that 25 minutes from him, it's really going to get bad. What? And they do it every, every series, every round, there's always a guy, the Bruins fans were doing it. So, uh, McAvoy. Yeah. It is. If you have a number one in your team loses, it's like, hey, guess what, you're going to be out there for goals. If you have a team scoring and you're not, but it's like, if all, well, that's just like that second goal, the thing about it is just that that, the, I think it was the winger that came in, the defenseman released him and he stepped in there and all of a sudden Skinner went to go get the part, the defenseman released the guy, shit, even I could have scored from there. And Andy, in search of Ryan, in search of Tom, in search of choke on that one. Come on. Yeah. I could never see anything. I was never on that side of the blue line from a career minus play and that's saying something at. Hey, hey, look, hey, look, I advance this to the playoffs from my face. So come on. That is true. That is true. That is true. Just saying. You know, we, oh, my head put through the ice invited a president and I can see it on my own. Oh, look, there's a puck. I should probably chip at it. And wait a minute. The only reason why I knew it when it was because the whole bench went out. That was goal number one of the season. Oh, yeah, that was like second, second, second, second season. So before we move on from our Stanley Cup finals talk, we have to get a. Braffet. Thoughts on the series of the Panthers sweeping or is it going further than four? First of all, is the Stanley Cup final still going second of all? What teams are in it? That's not bro, who's in it? It's the Savannah bananas in the body animals. Okay. Bananas in seven. Okay. I'm gonna say it right now. Well, speaking of bananas, it's another good segue to the mayor of Mayberry, Bratford, and his tin foil hat professor lead us in. Okay. That's tin foil hat conspiracy of the week is brought to you by the 1973 podcast store. Check out both of our stores at either www.bonfire.com/store/1973-podcast-store or our other store at spreadshop.admin.spreadshirt.com/1973-podcast/ or we're gonna put the QR code on here and that's the easiest way to do it. Yeah. Can you repeat that again? Because I only got like four letters in on the first one. No, sorry. I got it. Let me go get some oxygen first. I got to watch my oxygen back. Also, if you noticed, all during every one of the podcast, t-shirts and swag will pop up all during the episode. So just-- Are I calling you faster? Yeah. Buy a coffee mug for your father for father's day. My father. My father's like coffee. Yup. And love is like coffee, too. Mm. Some of you father's a love is. Your mother's mother. Mother. Take it away. All right. So this week's conspiracy theory is a little bit of a history lesson for America. Pre Christopher Columbus in North America, basically stretching from Louisiana, Mississippi up to Wisconsin and the Great Lakes. There were a race of people known as the mound builders. They were-- the skeletons have been found all throughout the country. There were seven to 10 feet tall people. There are stories of the Native Americans in Utah battling them in these great epic battles. They found a seven foot mummified version of one of them in Yosemite. They lived in these-- they called them mound builders because they lived and get to this flat top pyramids. So again, pyramids, ancient cultures, it was common throughout more places than just Egypt and in the Mayan cultures, they were-- these pyramids were everywhere. So the conspiracy is that these giant human skeletons have been found. They found them in Wisconsin in 1897. They found them in Georgia in 1886. But the-- so the question is, where are these giant skeletons? The Smithsonian, allegedly, has been dumping this shit into the ocean or burying it somewhere and trying to keep it out of public eye because if we discover that there was an ancient race, they call it the lost race myth. These giant peoples that lived in America, pre Christopher Columbus, it essentially destroys the narrative of Native Americans living here in harmony with the pilgrims and then the cowboys versus Native Americans history that went on in the Wild West. It destroys their whole narrative. So that's why the Smithsonian is being accused of destroying this stuff. So one conspiracy, if you want to call it that, do you believe in the giant, the pre-Columbian race of seven to 10 foot people and do you believe that the Smithsonian has been trying to cover this up? I do. I'm going to jump in here because the famous story from the Grand Canyon, I believe it was 1912, 1910, where they were canoeing down the Grand Canyon through the rapids. Some kind of opening in the side of the cave, pull over, they go in, mummified, almost looked like an inside of an Egyptian tomb, different size races of people mummified in there, all kinds of gold, frankincense, and mer and all that stuff and is actually recorded documentation of the guy kind of flipped out, went back to the local town that had a telephone called the Smithsonian, the local newspaper got a hold of it, ran the story. It's out there somewhere, Bradford, you've probably seen it before, all of a sudden they close off onto the Grand Canyon, that part you can't do anymore, and this supposedly cleaned out all the cave of all the remains of what they found, great story, they kind of touched a little bit on that in the Red Dead Redemption 2 video game, there's a lot of war in that. Not that we've talked a lot about video games, but I'll stand on this hill and say that it's the greatest video game I've ever played before, it's uber deep, and if you're a conspiracy theorist, historian, all that stuff, great game to play, so many Easter eggs in that from Bigfoot to Native American law to UFOs to everything, they put a little stuff in there for everybody, so I agree 100% of Bradford is stuff that's out there that if the general public knew that would change the whole foundation of what we know and how we do business, professor can full hat your recap of what Brad has to say. I totally agree with him, I think it's legit and people are crazy if they think we were the first ones here, so I think there's a lot more and I want to delve into a lot of what, go and do some research on what Brad said, because this one interests me a lot. Check out the mound people, yep, and that Grand Canyon story is out there, there's been videos of it, there's actually, it'll pop up every now and then it seems like people have screen shot at certain things and it pops up and then it mysteriously goes away, there's pictures of, I know there's a lot of fake AI pictures and that's the one, there's pictures of people stand next to skeletons that they found and it's, you know, those old separate tone style photos that were taken with the, with the gunpowder type camera. So they're out there, Phantom, what do you think? Oh yeah, I'm in on this one, I've seen some videos and I don't know if it ties to the same story of like archaeologists finding these big giant books, but these books were so big that they weren't like 10 feet tall people, I think the books were like 10 feet tall and they found like a whole library of them and it's just, it's wild, I really enjoy this stuff because it just opens up your mind to just wander and, you know, I'm sure some of it's BS spotted and a lot of it seems like space data, some kind of truth. Yeah, yeah, the whole thing about the conspiracy theory that I always love is, you know, you look at the way the structure of America was based where everybody, we talked about Ted Williams, believe it was baseball career and going to World War II to fight out of volunteer thing and everybody was on the same page until the Kennedy assassination. And if you look at that timeline of the Kennedy assassination, that's when America changed, there was a ton of people that said, well, wait a minute, something is wrong. We're not buying war bonds anymore, we're not chipping off to a foreign land at 18 years old where you had the hippie culture, the counterculture come out of after that because people were like, there's something going on that, you know, and it created more thought about what is everything we see actually, what's going on. And so that's my timeline as, you know, loving kind of history and conspiracy theories, the Kennedy assassination is what changed America for the thought process of not all being just lumblings going off the cliff, you know, I do agree with, there was a time where the America changed with it became all the 1%ers and how they erased everything before that, you know, with the Rothschilds and all that stuff, how they changed everything that if you look at, they say to give books previously to like 1920, because the books are all different compared to when classes were set up for kids to learn, it was all structured a certain way to become just part of the workforce. I tell the kids all the time, you want to stop a teacher dead in their tracks, ask them to teach you how to balance your checkbook, or how to pay the credit card, or how to play the stock market, they'll never teach it out. That's all stuff that you have to look for. You have to do deep dives because they will never teach it. Everybody has bill is a ramp for me. Everybody has bills, but they'll never teach out of pay them in school. They'll never teach you that. It's true. Right? Am I wrong? It's not lying if it's the truth. It's true. No, it's just like what George Conn said. Just make you smart enough just so you can spend the gears a little bit more. Everybody, everybody has a credit card, but they'll never teach how to use it. They'll never teach you how to buy a home and out of the equity of your home. You've got enough money that you can go buy another home and rent that one out. Then when you get that one going, you got equity in that home and you can buy a third one. Next thing you know, you got four homes out of equity that you just had off of one purchase of a house that you live in. The other ones are all getting paid for. That's the stuff they don't teach you, that's all the stuff that's hidden. You've got to go look at anything that is worth doing, you've got to go find. You've got to go do the deep dives. You've got to look into the conspiracy theories or whatever you think is BS. Just go from there. The search for knowledge. That's not because. Think about Brad, to go back to Brad's point about like gigantic people, think about this. I mean Brad's tall, I mean Brad's a tall guy, I mean I know I've worked. To the Portuguese community, he's like Andre the Giant. He had sat in the ring and make money. If he could only drink a case of wine and it's not going to be good to go. But I'm being serious, so think about this. You look at the Bible, you talk about David and Goliath. Goliath was his giant person. Right, I mean you talk about that footprint that they found in that piece of stone. I mean there is no ifs ands of buts about that footprint in stone. That's a footprint. Yeah. Right. And the thing is like five feet tall, you know, there's no dynamic. The Bible talks about Nefilentune, which were giants. So I mean it's the Bible is, if you're going to say the Bible is historical reference, you know, these men, there's dragons and Leviathan and giants and there's a cudalacky stuff in the Bible. And then there's that whole series of pieces of the books that they've taken out like that. They always talk about what if you do that deep dive into the book of Enoch with all that, where they, you know, that supposedly there was whatever you feel as a race of angels came down, breeded with normal people and created that race of giants, right? Am I, am I right or am I wrong? And that's, I mean, they referenced that in the book of Genesis though. Right. And supposedly one of those floods is what wiped out that it was like a reset. So a lot of things to talk about a lot, lots and lots of stuff, almost just do a whole hour podcast on conspiracies. Oh, we could also do that Brad's tin full hat deluxe, the deluxe edition, the direct is cut. Yeah. Number one segment to his own show. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So a couple of things before we wrap up, Thomas, want to talk some album of the week and wrap this up for Father's Day weekend or this week's album of the week is brought to you by Purchase Street Records, located at 53 Pope's Island unit to New Bedford, Mass or online at purchase st records.com. They also have a Facebook page. So hit them up on there purchase street records as southern winglets, largest independent record store. So let's do some shout outs, wrap this father's day episode up. I'll start. I must wish all the fathers that I know. Happy father's day. And have your father and he's still around, give him a big hug till the 1973 5th century. And what do you got this week? Oh, I'm going to say a big happy father's day to you, to Brad, to Brian, to Big Ed, to Jeff, happy father's day. All the fathers out there, thank you very much. Thank you very much for everybody for listening and no, have a great weekend. And some, what do you got? My shout out is, I don't know if you had guys have ever eaten there before. Have you ever had Dave's hot chicken? Nope. No sir. I went to this place today and bring to me coming back to New Hampshire, Dave's hot chicken. Shit was awesome. We're good. Check it out. Shout out to Dave's hot chicken. Don't be a chicken, have some hot chicken. Don't give those off for free Andy. It might not be, it's probably not southern hot chicken, but for up here, pretty good. Brad, I know that you've been a father more than once, a couple of them. You acknowledge a couple of them, maybe you don't. There's probably some running around New Mexico, Korea, Virginia, who knows, man? You get around, you've been a witness protection. You've been on the USS flag. You served as part of the G.I. Joe Cobra Corps. You've been all over the place. Yeah. What do you got? Government, the government sent me out some international business trips and who knows what's out there. There's, you know, some little blonde haired Korean kids running around. I don't know. Yeah. I just want to say six foot seven, so you know they go on. There's going to be a Korean basketball star here in a couple of years. I'll be like, "Holy shit, that's my kid." No, I'm playing. I do want to say happy father's day to everybody. I think there's another conspiracy, the war on families, they've tried to devalue the power and authority and the importance of father figures. I want to say fathers, you do matter. You are a big part of a child's development. You matter. It's Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. If you need help, reach out, hotlines, health clients, hit me up on my socials if you need to talk. I'm here for anybody, day or night, all the time, but happy father's day. Yeah. Before we close it out with the professor, I just want to reiterate that thing that I told you last week, that it's pretty sad that out of all the holidays, Blue and Arbor Day, Father's Day is celebrated 20th on the list. I think that that's from a society, stuff like that needs to change. When you get that pair of socks this weekend, you can have done better than socks all the time off I take for you. All the vacations I have, and they all go to the kids. Sounds like another thing that's grinding your gears. I'd rather fail to talk to the shows, baby. Hopefully, I hope they give you, I hope you get socks for fathers they've been. Oh, and they're going to be tube socks, the one that you don't even know where the heel is. If they give you socks, man, you better wear them shits proud with your denim cargo shorts and your Nike Air Maxes, you better wear them shits proud. For a guy that knows a lot about tube socks over the ass, pay us just a thought. My shout out is to Doug Keating and cardboard promotions this weekend, Sunday, I believe it is on Father's Day, they've got a big show in Dedham. They're two big guests, they've got Ray Bork, and they've got 1980 Olympian, Rob McClanahan. So if you're in the Dedham area, go check them out. Very cool. Well, let's wrap this up for this week. That's 70 episodes in the book and I'm going to know, well, you find gentlemen and you to it. Thank you so much.
