The Power Slam Podcast - More AEW PPVs, Bray Wyatt & More

If I bleed tonight, if I am said tonight I don't have a job to find And if I were tonight, I'm so tired tonight I'm fall asleep when I'm home When I'm home Hey everybody, welcome to Brand New episode of the Power Slime podcast here on Patreon a day early or whatever you get your podcasts on Shreddy, my name is Kenny, his name is Fenn, Fenn We were just setting the waddles today before we record as we usually did to kind of get us Is there a little cardio warm up for this podcast? That's that, that's that little warm up That's it, well warm up We're ready to go Kenny What's been going on since we last spoke? Where there's been lots going on But yeah, I want to dive into a few things So one of the things I wanted to ask you It was because last week obviously I think it was on the overrun I can't remember It was one of the I either the Power Slime podcast or the overrun We talked about the collision ratings from last week and how they obviously not been very good So the collision ratings came out for this past Saturday's show and it was 580,000 viewers which was hanging up from 4.50 the week before 5.52 with a week? 4.52 And obviously it's headlight by Pumpkin Joe So it's kind of almost similar to what they were doing in week two Would you say that is that a decent result for what potentially could have happened or is it still not enough for a Saturday nightly Where would you put your flag in terms of how that result looks for them? I mean, I mean, week one 816,000 Week two, 595, week three, 452, week four, 580 So it seems like it's going to be you know, it's kind of settled around about 555, 60 mark I would say Yeah, it's probably what they're going to be expecting to draw most weeks I mean, the punk Samoa Joe match is a big match So I don't know whether the disappointed by these numbers or not It's weird because, you know, years ago you know, WCW Saturday night was the thing before Nitro launched WCW Saturday night was their big show before Nitro arrived in May 5 So Saturday night and obviously Saturday night's main event as well So years ago, a decade ago now Saturday night seemed to be the night for pro wrestling and I just, it isn't anymore, is it? I mean, remember when they brought Saturday night to main event back just before WrestleMania 22 and they stacked the show, didn't they? They had that match between Sean Michaels and Shane McMahon, you know, the Lada match and it was just like, it was Steve Austin and JBL in a bit of drinking contest and it was just like almost a pay-per-view level TV show and they were bitterly disappointed with the right to Nitro, weren't they? Do you remember that Kenny? I do, as far as talking to my laugh with this recently because if you remember, they had that really big set that they made for the return which is like a massive Saturday night's main event set and then when it came back again later in the year, I think it's in the July because it's the March the first one and they just taped it like after Smackdown with no set and I think it's because back when you were watching some Saturday night's main events in real time I wasn't, I mean... Yeah, when they were showing on Skype or whatever it was, yeah. Yeah, but I mean, you know, correct me if I'm wrong but the sale of Saturday night's main event was you didn't get any other weekly TV shows that had, you know, name versus name all the time. Correct, absolutely right. Yeah, they were an event with Saturday night's main events. You know, they were huge with different graphics and, you know, like star interviews and the whole way they were filmed as well just seemed big time. Which is like a sketch of between, you know, superstars or challenge or whatever and Saturday night's main event. You know, they were definitely on a pedestal. And then you know, to your point, I mean, the collision of actually taking a notch from Saturday night's main event with the open videos of the different week, which is obviously from Saturday night's main event. They were, they, that was their staple. But yeah, I'm with you, I think, I think 556 is going to kind of be the average. I think it's going to be interesting to see how they do up against a WWE pay-per-view. So Summerslam with the next one, August 5th, it'll be interesting to see what the numbers are for that. Because Summerslam's a pretty big show. So that's probably going to be a good indicator of like what they can expect to get, you know, against the WWE pay-per-view. Because obviously the one that won on July 1st was actually came after the WWE pay-per-view, which you're going early on the day. So it'll be interesting to see. Elsewhere though, I wanted to ask you about it. And there's a report from Fightful Select. Yesterday that Warner Brothers would like AEW to increase their pay-per-view outputs. Those rumors of what they do, you know, 12 pay-per-views a year, do one a month. Because at the moment they've got five. We should. Yeah. And so would they go from five to nine, nine to 12? I mean, obviously, I think it's one of those things. It might be a tough ask for the general person to follow, you know, an AEW pay-per-view every month and the WWE pay-per-view every month. You think people choosing what one they want to go for. But in terms of the AEW, do you think increasing their pay-per-view model would be better for them, worse for them, in terms of the products? I mean, I think they're putting out too much product as it is. You know, I mean, I might last week actually bounce back through 85,000 last Wednesday. So I mean, they're putting out a lot of product. I mean, I think, you know, let's just see how they cope with it over the long haul. Because I mean, still early days yet. There's not even four episodes of Collision so far. I mean, doing more pay-per-views. I mean, they could do it. I mean, it's like I can't decode with it over the long haul, Kenny. You know, I mean, I imagine right now, the, you know, increased schedule. The weight of it hasn't really been felt yet. By the people who were running AEW. And give it another like four to six weeks. And it's going to show. I think the cracks are going to start showing. If you then add a monthly four hour event, because it's always four hours plus, isn't it for an AEW pay-per-view? That's another massive show. You've got to promote. I think it would be too much. I mean, it's up to them. I mean, they seem to just want to take on as much as possible. And I mean, we saw what happened with WCW and Thunder at the beginning. Yay, this is brilliant. Look at these numbers. You know, there's much huge appetite for WCW programming at that point as well. But in time, Thunder ended up being a massive miscure. Eric Bischoff has admitted that he was. It was something that was basically forced upon WCW. Because, you know, time Warner wanted another show. They didn't want to produce another show each week, because they knew it was going to stretch them creatively, you know, and in terms of actual, you know, manpower putting the shores out there. So, I mean, I would caution against further events. I mean, look at what's coming up at the end of the next one, Kenny. We've got all in London. And then the following weekend all out. I mean, that's going to be a hectic eight days for AEW, isn't it? Yeah, it's going to be. I mean, in some ways, I understand why they would do it, because when WCW both actually stay appropriate in 95s, you know, they didn't do any worse by doing it. But at the same time, I think with AEW, it's one of the things where they're, they're, they're potentially going to be adding papers just right after adding a second show. Yeah. I guess a third show. And I think in some ways, it will be good for them that, you know, now it's like if they are doing a storyline, there's a paper coming up. They don't need to do this kind of long drawn out thing that they might not want to do. But I do worry for just general people. I mean, if you're somebody who watches WWE and AEW, I feel that you're already at real capacity and that's what you should watch. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, we do it as a job and we get capacity to do it. You know, like it's, it's a, there's only so much time. You know, you do, you do the magazine stuff and obviously some podcast and I do loads of podcasting. And it's like, to add in another paper view, it's a lot, it would be a lot of extra time. You know, the stuff that we just don't really cover because there's just not time. There's not time to go into all the different stuff we said this before. You know, there's, I'm sure, you know, I'm sure if there wasn't as much stuff on, we would probably review an impact paper view one day. Good job. They're doing great good stuff. Let's go and watch what they're doing. But so much other stuff on that you just don't get to it. So, yeah, I'm sure. Well, I mean, slam a verse. We's coming up, isn't it? Actually, it's weekend. It's weekend. I'll say it. So, I'm sure we will probably give it a mention. Yeah. Probably next week. Probably watch one of the top matches. Probably watch the main event. Alex Shelley. Older. I believe is the title matchman event there. So when. Yeah. You'll probably give that a mention. But you are right. It's like. It's another show. It's more product. There's only a certain amount of hours in the day. And you've got to actually do work, work as well. And fitting everything in these quite tricky. I mean, this is a really good product out there. I think NXT has been really good lately. Enjoyed, you know, judgment day dropped into NXT this week. And I think Baron Corbin's actually been really effective there in his run. He's changing his gimmick. He's on this voyage of self discovery. So things are happening with him. And like when you take somebody who's, you know, marginal sort of minor player on the men roster. And you transplant them to NXT. They suddenly do feel bigger and more interesting now and have more TV time. And it is, you know, it's interesting to see. You know, what they do with someone who doesn't really get any TV time on the main roster. But does in NXT and they seem, you know, Marvin intriguing character and. Someone is actually worth watching there, whereas on the main roster, Corbin doesn't feel like he is. So yeah, there's lots of stuff we don't cover that is really good. But you know, that's the way it is. You can't fit everything in. No, I mean, it is that thing where it says an AWP review a month. You know, we're probably not able to cover everything. So you know, there's going to be things we're okay. You know, hear songs and I talk about this paper here. Robert and I talk about that paper in Patron. There's just so much stuff. So I just think it will be overkill. I think it will be over saturation. I think they're at that point now. Because also if you have an America is, it is $50 for an AWP review. Yeah. I mean, look, fair play to them, they get the money. But I think it's different where you can ask people to pay $50 five times a year. Are people going to pay it 12 times a year? Because it's not because how much was in your house was in 1995 and in the. I think it is staff at 14.95. I think it was half because it was 29.95 or 29.99 for a regular three hour event. Yeah. The Indian houses were two hour events. And I believe they were half half the price. I think they were 14.95 or 19.99. And you're fine. 19.95, whatever it was. And then they extended them. Didn't need to three hours in. Was it ground zero? I think it was the first one. September 97. I believe there's the first three hour one. And they bumped the price up to 29 or $30. Basically. And that was seen as a turning point for WWF because they were bringing in more money. And they were treating the Indian your house is like proper paper views that you had to see. And you know, that was the drawback to the Indian house model is the first. Oh, yeah, let's give this, you know, we'll give this a watch. And then people cotton on to the fact that they were kind of missible. And only the real die hearts were buying them. And you know, there is also the psychology of pricing, isn't that? And if something is cheap. There are times where people think, well, it's not really if it's worth the money. If it was worth watching, they'd be, they'd be charging me 30. But the charging 15 or 20. So it's probably missible. So I'm not going to order that show. And it's a weird psychology. It's like ticket prices, isn't it? If something is really cheap, you think, oh, they'll sell loads of tickets. But it doesn't always work like that. That way, does it, Kenny? Because if it's more expensive, people think it's more desirable, don't they? Yeah. Which is, I mean, I guess that is, yeah, they do think it's more desirable. But I mean, now, I don't know the exact prices. I'm sure that for the HD version of some EWP reviews, it's maybe $55.60. I'm not sure. But I mean, it's a lot of money. And I've heard a lot of people say that bleachers report, because the people that do the US pay produce are really bad. Like, they're, it's, like, so see, say for example, that pay produced starts 8 p.m. and you get in it half eight, because you've been out and you want to watch on a half hour delay. No, that's quite a tricky thing to do on that app. It's quite, it's, it's a bit, uh, fiddly and you can end up, you can end up losing your play. So you end up until it. And then sometimes the replay doesn't go on straight away. So you're not wait a while to watch it. So, um, yeah. But we'll, we'll see how it all pans out, um, for EW on those. I do want to ask you about some old timers, Finn, who've got, uh, thoughts on younger talent. And I thought we could get your take on both of those. And there's one that you, uh, I think you'll be quite happy about. And there's, oh yeah, well, there's one that you'll find constructive. There's another one that you'll probably roll your eyes at. So the undertaker was talking to Metro UK recently, um, around the time of money in the bank. And he had some thoughts about Bray Wyatt. So here's what he had to say. He, he basically said that he thinks that, uh, he said they need to back, Bray's character up to the original character. Get away from, uh, what it is. Now they've kind of got themselves booked into a situation, which is kind of difficult for him to have matches. I think the original Wyatt family, Bray, that's the money. Um, he says, I got to work with Bray at Mania. The year after I got concussing the Brock match. I worked with Bray. I think a lot of them. I like what he's doing. I think they just have to figure out how to, and then he says they need to back up, I think. So undertaker is calling for him to be made into the original Bray Wyatt. Again, which was, I guess, his most successful period as a wrestler, because he was able to have matches, but if, if Bray Wyatt has to be around, then, uh, do you think going back to the original Bray? I, I prefer, because I know you're just trying to not see him, but do you think if he has to be around, who've been putting back to the original Bray Wyatt? Is that something that you think would work better in terms of him having matches? Yeah, I mean, if the undertaker was such a fan of his, then why did he basically hammer him at WrestleMania that year? You know what I mean? Ainsight is 20, 20. That would have been 2015, wouldn't it? Yeah, 2015. Yeah. Yeah. So he came back and, you know, he's pride was short. You know, his self-esteem was in pieces. He needed a dust pan and brushed to sweep it all up and put it back together. But his aura has gone because he'd been defeated at WrestleMania in a rather underwhelming match. And, um, and then poor Bray was the man who, uh, had to, uh, help rebuild the undertakers, um, your self-respect. I mean, it's hard to know really what to do with Bray Wyatt at this point. I mean, I thought it was great at first. I remember I put him on the penultimate issue of power slam, great cover shot and the headline read, the brilliance of Bray Wyatt. Do you remember that one, Kenny? I do. I do. No, because that was the issue where you had the little blurb and say, tell us the next issue would be the last one. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, that was the next one. I just, I just sprung it on you in issue 237. There was no fall warning. I did it. I didn't remember that. This is it. Yeah. It was a great cover of Wyatt. It's actually really, I really thought it was one of the best issues I put out in a very long time, 236. And I was a fan of, you know, I think I called the article method to his madness or something like that. And I was a fan of that version of Wyatt. I thought it was really good as well. Um, but it was what happened next. And he's like, he'd lost his way. And then, you know, he was, he ran into John Cena. And Wyatt ended up in the Cena graveyard. I mean, that was, he, I mean, that was just, I mean, that was a kick in the nuts wasn't it from Cena? Absolute kick in the nuts. And I think that really damaged Wyatt. And it was difficult for him to really recover from that. Then he ran into the undertaker in 2015. You know, that was, that was really just, that was really bad. I mean, the undertaker didn't even turn up for the build to the match. It was wide in the whole build. And then undertaker came out looking rubbish. And then, I know, I know why I had the ankle injury. But still, I mean, yeah, it was, it was a nothing match. Absolutely. I mean, at that point, it was, to me, it was over for Wyatt as a threat, as a force, as a menace, as someone you could really believe in. And I don't think he was somebody really knew how to get himself over and really rebuild himself after a loss. I don't think that was anything ever, that was something ever mastered. And admittedly, a lot of people can't do that. It's really difficult, it's real hard to that, but there's now someone who can do it. But Wyatt couldn't. And I think it was just, he was on a, you know, downward spiral from that point onwards. I think enough time has elapsed that you could probably bring him back as a, as that character or a version of it. He definitely needs to get away from all the segments backstage as, as much fun as they are. It's just, you know, that character, that ship sailed. People, I don't believe anyone wants to see it again. I mean, I know I don't. It never, it never, it never means it when he does these segments. And it's funny because like, you know, the idea of like, looking, you're looking good in loss and a loss or whatever. I think the problem for him is he never, like, the matches you've just listed. He never got any big wins. He beat Kane at SummerSlam 2013, I think it was. Yes, he did. Which was a good start for him, because he's beaten Kane, you know, that he's on the SN and then, you know, it was one of those things where when he worked with Cena, he did win one of the matches, but it never felt he won anything over, over Cena. And, you know, and if you can't beat any of the top guys, then it just gives the audience the impression that you're not a top guy. So. Exactly. But yeah, I just. I mean, I'd like to see him. I'd like to see him come back as something else. It's just an in-ring character. You just as promos in the ring. One of that silliness. None of the videos. None of the puppets. I mean, it was fun while it lasted, but it was not conducive to having good matches. Just made everything problematic, didn't it? Yes. So, I just got in, as undertaker was right, just got in the way. It just prevented him from being a wrestler. He was just a backstage sort of cartoon character, really. He was just, you know, there to amuse people as much as anything, and when you got in the ring, it just didn't make any sense. It just didn't translate, did it? No. Not at all. Well, speaking of old timers, we've got some comments. Kevin Nash came under fire recently for some comments he made about early night, where he said that early night was just doing the rock in Austin parody. And I think some people had kind of criticized him about that. So, and this is what Nash said in response. He said, there's so many people that agree that early night is doing the rock in Austin thing. I mean, the guy's been in the business for like 10 years. I mean, why didn't he get over it anywhere else? And then he was asked about, you know, can he said he hadn't watched any of his work? And he said, you know, all I know is when I was asked to pick somebody. I mean, can I just stop you there, Kenny? Now she's putting in his customary amount of preparation. I've worked before he recorded this podcast or did this interview or wherever he said these comments. On his podcast, yeah. I've got to talk about gold and idle and work shy. He goes on to say, all I know is when I was asked to pick somebody from money in the bank, I said, Damien, please don't lo and behold who won money in the bank. I guess I'm not as out of it as it appears. And then he goes on to say, I say to myself, all right, I've taken the back. Nash is talking about this guy impersonating the rock. And I said, let me watch him. I watched for three fucking hours. He's not on the show. I swear, Seth Freak and Rollins rest with 13 times. Damien, please, was on 11. Like, there's so many people that made four and five appearances. And this guy was super over it isn't on the show because he's on Smackdown. He's not on raw. But Kevin Nash seems to have a, I think the early night is not got to start quality and, you know, he can't get over it anywhere else. So, I mean, what are your thoughts about Mr. Nash's comments? I mean, Nash's research, pathetic. I mean, Nash's guy, I think he put about as much effort into preparing to make for that statement, for that review of LA Night, as he did it when he was booking WCW back in 2000. Guys are joke. I mean, I can't take Nash seriously. I just can't. I have no idea what his purpose is. And I have no idea what he's brought to wrestling for the last 20 years. And the guy's just taken from wrestling. He's given nothing to the business in decades. And now he's running down LA Night. And there he is knocking a guy or he didn't get over. What about Nash when he was in WCW? Was he over? The only reason he got over was because he put in with Sean Michaels in WWF. And like, you know, I think when he was WWF champion, people say, oh, I was the worst drawing champion ever. I'm not sure. I imagine that he's true. I mean, I don't know for a fact that he is. But I mean, that was a tough time for anyone to draw. LA Night, 495. So I'm not really pointing the finger at him for failing his champ. Because I don't think anyone was going to succeed his champ during that period. But I mean, Nash is a guy who, you know, yeah, the NWR was great. And he was really over in WCW from 96 to 98. But what the hell's he done since? You know, I mean, we just had to sit through those matches. He had to triple H. And we can it. And he's mocking another guy for not getting over or not being a star or being derivative and not being original. It's like take a look in the mirror, mate. You know, what did you really do? Okay, you were really over for a while. But what have you really done in the last 25 years? I mean, now you're running this guy down. He's doing so well. And he's in his early 40s. And this is his moment. He was definitely over in TNA. You know, okay, it was a small company. But he got himself over there. You know, he did well in NWR power again. Very small company. And he was really over in NXT again. You know, developmental league. But I mean, he was a heel, got over as a heel. People wanted him to turn face. He turned face. People loved him. Came into WWE on the men roster. They gave him this, you know, Zah, Max, do pre gimmick, which would have killed a lesser talent. You know, he survived that. You know, he made the best of it. You know, they rebranded him. He reverted to LN Knights. He made the best of the brave Wyatt feud. You know, it was just absolutely humbled and humiliated in that catastrophic match at Royal Rumble. Worst match in years. You know, two months later, he was over again. And now he's doing really well. He's just turned face. He didn't win one of the bank, okay. But I think in some ways that might have been a blessing in disguise. And I think, you know, the company believes in him. I think he. I'm convinced that he believes in himself. And I reckon he's going to rub this in Kevin Nash's face. And he's going to do great for the rest of the year. So go get him LN Knight and stick it to Kevin Nash. I mean, also he's not he's like the fourth biggest merchandise seller right now with. And he's not on TV that much. So just towards what he could do if he was on TV more. So exactly. I mean, I watched that short segment with Hit Raw from the MSG Smackdown taping last Friday. And you know, it was it was really a nothing segment. It was helped there very briefly. People loved him. And I mean, as far as ripping off Austin and the rock. I mean, I don't really see that many similarities there. I mean, there's crowd interaction. But I mean, lots of people have interacted with the crowd. And if someone interacts with the crowd, it's like, Oh, the ripping off Austin and the rock. I don't think there's really that many similarities between them. There's a different character, you know, yeah. But you know, everybody reps off everybody to an extent. In terms of like, yeah, there's, you know, like M.G.F. You go, well, M.G.F. trying to be ready to pay for a wreck for it. But he's, yeah, I guess, but he's M.G.F. It's like, you can't nobody's going to be able to not have any influences of anything they've ever seen before. But, you know, his catchphrase is he, is he like the rock because he's got a catchphrase? I mean, is that the, is that the reason? And to me, someone who. I, if you really look, I guess you see, well, yeah, it looks like he may be what's rocking Austin and his younger. But I don't really see comparisons that are hard enough for you to say he's a knockoff or a parody or anything like that. No, I think it's ring style is uniquely his own. I mean, he does his own moves. He's got his own, you know, style. He's got his own routine worked out, which he does very well. I mean, he's in tremendous shape, you know, amazing cardio. I mean, really confident in the ring. You can see he doesn't do anything that doesn't make sense. Everything he does looks rock solid and believable. So I think the style is, you know, completely different from the rock and Austin style. And the only similarities you could say were that, yeah, he's very confident in the mic. And he gets the crowd to chat along with him. But many other people have done that. Maybe. I don't know what the hell Kevin Nash is on about Kenny to be honest with you. Maybe he's angling for that big return. Early night, this Kevin Nash lives. Well, if Kevin Nash comes back, Kenny, I won't be watching. I mean, I don't think Nash has, let me just see. When was the last time Kevin Nash had a match? I'm sure we must be retired now. Yeah, let me see if he's had one recently. The last match Kevin Nash had was 2018. See, he's not restless as 2018. So we can hopefully rest easy. No, he is not. Yeah, I think we can. I don't think there's going to be another comeback. And Nash should be. So, you know, Kevin Nash is entitled to his opinion, but I would. But there again, it doesn't feel to me like Kevin Nash has really researched that opinion. He's very deeply. Well, because he then said, I just, I decided to go and watch him. So I've watched Monday Night Raw, but he's not on Monday Night Raw. So I've been granted, last week he wasn't on SmackDown. But like the point is, you're watching us show he's not on, expecting to be on it. Exactly. I mean, just, I mean to me, just look foolish by making those statements. Also, he's not on the, he's not on a show that he's not, he's not a part of that show. So why, he's not going to be on the show. He's like saying, I watched AEW and LA and I wasn't on it. I couldn't believe it. But it's like, if you said to me, right, Kenny, Tony D'Angelo and NXT, for example, say you were to play on your Tony D'Angelo, I've not really seen, say I've not really seen a lot of what he's done. So that would be a true thing. Let's say you were to play on your, you need to check some of them out. He's really good. And in my mind, I was like, I think he just seems like a mafia knock off. Okay, I'll go and watch some of this stuff. I would go to YouTube and type in Tony D'Angelo and watch some of the stuff that's on there of him. I would be like, I'll turn on Smackdown, wait for me to turn up. Kevin Nash. Yeah, I mean, I remember just finally on this note, when he was Eli Drake and he did this segment called a fact that's just a fact of life when he was in TNA. And he was out there on his own with the dummy button, dummy yeah. Pressing this button. And I thought, this guy is out on his own. And you know, this was a time, or there's been many times obviously in TNA and about wrestling history in recent years when things have been difficult and the audience something particularly in through for the product or the characters. And he was out there on his own for a long time. And he made this segment work. And he was just out there talking. He just kept talking and he got over. And he like, wow, and I knew at that point that he really had something. Because he was able to make, he was basically turned this nothing segment into an entertaining, you know, power of the show. And you know, actually there's a lot of people who would have just died a brutal death in that position. And he was just out there and he kept going and it worked. And I thought, this guy's got something. I've been a fan of his ever since. And okay, I'm biased in the other direction to Kevin Nash, obviously. But I mean, I really, you know, I feel like this guy has really worked for this spot. You know, and I've said and written how, you know, upsell was when he was treated in the way he was at Royal Rumble. And I really hope that what Paul of X said at the Money in the Bank press conference comes true. And, you know, good things come to those who way and that he's rise is just beginning. I really hope that what the next said, you know, was accurate and, you know, good things do come. LA nights way for the remainder of 2023 and beyond. Yeah, fingers crossed. He is on Smackdown this Friday with what I hope. And I know you could as well this week. I really hope that we are going to see the beginning of an early night Austin theory feud for Somerslam. That's what I want to see. So hopefully we get a beginning of something about Wednesday. So tomorrow we'll report back next week, though. But that is all Tim. We got today for the PowerSlam podcast will be doing an overrun. Ever will be talking a couple more topics like Seth Rollins talking about the world every title. Brian Pilman, Jr. leading AEW and some questions that you guys have sent in. We'll be tackling it as well. So patreon.com for such insight. And so the ropes is the best way to find us over there. You can get a patreon app on any phone that you've got Android Android Apple. And you can just have that app and download the content pretty easily. Listen to it and your phone as you go. Have it downloaded offline. If you're on a flight or a train. Well, or a bus. Whatever mode of transport you take. But anyway. And yes, absolutely not. Probably not. Probably not a let both singlas go at the moment. No, probably not. Unless it unless the pub staff have been recalibrated to drive the buses. Which is the latest novel idea from the head of first bus class. He should be fired for that comment alone. Stupidity. Imagine just like, oh, you know, we're closing all the night buses. But maybe people who people who work in the pub can just drive themselves home in the bus. Well, exactly. You know, they've just done a 12 hour shift. I mean, fine. You know, they can just drive for a few more hours. Why not? Yeah. And also, if you think if you think there's been more, where did they park in the bus? If they're driving themselves home, that's a good question. That's a good question. I mean, they've got to get from wherever it is to the bus station. Which could be like a mile and a half or something. Yeah, it's. He hasn't really thought that one through as he. No, maybe he shouldn't have went to the head. To give that as an exclusive. Run it by a couple of people. Um, anyway, uh, also obviously, uh, issue 35 then said that it was magazine will be out. Two weeks today, which is Thursday, the 27th of July, and cleared of that and said it was magazine.com. So then, I know we're going to record the overrun, but I hope that you enjoy a lovely weekend. Three of the shackles of work. And it gets enjoy yourself. Yes. Yes. I'm heading up to the lake. So I'm really looking forward to that. And, um, yes, I shall report back on Tuesday, Kenny. Excellent.
