And this is the only podcast that gets me through the drive. I drive so much. I'm currently re-listening to every episode. 73 to go. Love hearing the boys talk about. Holy cow. It's a growing industry. And nobody better get info from than the major pod boys. Keep up all the great work. Looking forward to hear the best figures of 2023. It's been a wild year. I think that's a great review to talk about something that Brian pointed out does a couple of minutes ago, which is pretty baffling. As of August 19th, that marks five years of the podcast. That is hell. Next week. Next weekend. Guys, we have never been late, except for the one time that I put it up mid-day on Friday because something happened. Whatever. Every week we do it. Every single week. No best of episodes. No best of episodes, yeah. Yeah. Great job. We're not doing the Conrad and Bruce over here. I'm trying to think over the last five years, there's been some crazy moments that the time that we were recording the podcast in a hotel room and Brian just left. Do you remember that? Yeah. I just could take a guy back home. He just left. In the middle of the recording. I said hurry up. You got to purposely be a dick and be going slow. What do you want me to do? Yeah. There was the time that the power went out in Matt's house or he had some sort of insane lightning strike or something like that. Recorded on a boat. The Jericho cruise. Oh, that was cool. Yeah. It's also true. Yeah. But yeah. So five years. Thank you guys for the support. We appreciate it. Majormarks.com. Patreon.com. Slash. We're not going to bore you guys and all things over there. But we got it because we're recording the pilot live. So Mark, every week we give away a prize to a new and old subscriber, right, Mark? Yeah. But switch it up here. But we're going to do something with these people here, right? Okay. Show hands. Show hands. Who is in the Patreon? Okay. Now. Who joined day one? Peter Simerson. Peter Simerson. We got one. You won, pal. We have to see Anderson's long-haired friend. Can you please come forward? Can we have a prize room? I didn't bring the 8 by 10. Oh, wow.

Appreciate you. All right. Now, for the first time in a... Oh, good one. For Kyle Pearson. Day one. I didn't realize that. Day one. Patreon. We launched that. Shoes raised his hand back there. I don't think he pays for the Patreon. That was bullshit. That was real bullshit, pal. All right. Who joined within the last month? Oh, I knew it. We talked to you earlier. First time in the line. The most recent Patreon person. Come on up. What is your name? Laura. It's getting a prize. All right. Just join the Patreon. Here's an 8 by 10. It's when I was the raw tech team champion. Matt and I, job.ftr. WrestleMania. Never forget it. There you go. Congratulations. Come by the table. We appreciate you. Come by the table. I'll get you one tomorrow, too. Thank you very much. It's a job to mount. Look at that. We have a day one and then a last month in the room right now. That's pretty cool. So if you're a Patreon member, you get this podcast early and ad-free. You get the video form which we're filming right now. Yeah, I had to make sure. Matt says, maybe we don't have to do it. I said, no. Patreon loves the video version. Yes. How many of you guys only watched the video version if you're in the Patreon? What? Yeah, exactly. People wait for the video version to come up. Yeah, we get that a lot. I never watched the video version ever. Even the ones where Matt's just frozen like this. Oh, man. Why have I a situation at the Cardone asshole? It's fixed. It was great last week. So we also do two bonus episodes a month. But this month, we're going to do one on Dick Tracy. We're actually recording it after this. Yeah. But bare minimum, Brian didn't watch it. I got 40 minutes left, guys. I got 40 minutes left. Yeah, the whole month, the watches moving. He didn't watch it. I will admit, and this is a little preview. I watched like some YouTube videos to kind of get like, boned up about it. And it did the opposite. Oh, no. Yeah, I didn't. I was like, man, I'm not boned up to watch this now. This is. There's little kids in the crowd. Sorry about that. Mark, what's the other, uh... Off-the-hop rope is back, Jack. We are going to record an episode where we pair the Hammerstein Ballroom Macardone versus Joey Jenella match with the major wrestling figure podcast IPA. Myself, CPA, Top Shelf, Troy Nelson, maybe some guests, maybe shoes will come on. We're going to record it. We're going to do the video of the match, too, so that it's not even going to be audio. You'll be able to watch the video of the match, watch us breaking down the match. I love it. I'll give you the rights of that video. Well, you know what? It's going on our Patreon. Hopefully he doesn't cease and desist us. I wish Kinnick was here to get update on the IPA if it's any left. It's still available. Oh, sure. Yeah. Also, if you're a hard foundation member and up, you get the free card. Yep. Did we ship those out yet, Mark? They're shipping. Actually, they should have shipped the last couple days. Did they send it to me yet? Oh, they're coming. All right. They're coming. We're always last. What else is going on over? Well, I'll tell you this, though. You know, the signed version of that card, not going to be for a while, so. Yeah. Because we mentioned the person's in the UK. Got it. That's your hint. That's your hint. I can't wait for it to get these cards, man. I'm more excited for that. I just need reactions to both of these for all you guys when they come. All right. Please, thank you. So follow up last week. I was talking about the Undertaker and Goblin and Yooker. And I said, the Undertaker was too tan. But, but psycho-deaf freedom. Where are you out of deep freedom? He pointed out that. By the way, corporate deed. This is where you get the rest up. He's got cars playing. He's got cars playing. He's a right to sensor guy all weekend. Yeah. For some reason, on Undertaker's debut, he did have a little tan. Because you think he's coming off of WWE's mean mark? I don't think so. And the gimmick's not fully developed yet. That makes sense, actually. A lot of sense. It's kind of accurate if it's to that exact event for him to have a little tan ski. Yeah. It's just weird having a tan undertaker in your collection. But do you know what I've ever known? Because I feel like you're going to display with the jacket anyway. And it was what it is. You guys have any other follow-up from last week? I do not. Well, Rush Collector Bulls, those figures are still really bad. I think all three of us are officially blocked on social media. Oh, I didn't check. I'm not going to get into it. But I don't care. I've never really said anything mean. I'm only blocked by JBL and Rush Collector Bulls now. What a list that you know. But then I know of you. Those who don't know, those are the figures that fell apart on us on the podcast. And then I went live on YouTube and it fell apart again. Listen. I think I'm blocked. So he said some bro. Yeah. One bro. What list? Hey, I'm not saying don't buy them. Just be prepared. They might break. But, um, boys. Boys, I'm blocked. You're blocked. Small block is blocked. You didn't even buy them. I didn't even say anything bad. He DM me about trying to sabotage his company. Dude, no, these figures are garbage. You're stealing people's money, blah, blah. Long story short, he told me he kisses ass. So, and then he blocked me. So, I wish them well in their future endeavors. Other updates that we have. I guess we got to talk about our stuff, right? I mean, power town figures. The pre-orders end in soon. Very soon. Yes. Brian and Matt Tupac. I mean, the greatest figures we've ever had in our lives. I think it's very cool. I think we talked about this. Someone's like, why? Why are you running a man at a Tupac? And we're like, why wouldn't we be, you know, like to celebrate what we've done outside of the WWE. We're proud of ourselves. I hope you guys are, you know, like the things that we've been able to accomplish. Obviously, thanks to all you guys and your support. And like, you know, all the other wrestling companies around the world that we've worked for. So. You guys have never had a, or you had a Jack's Tupac? Yeah, long. With a Jack's Tupac. Wow, that's wild. That's pretty cool, though. Yeah. I think there are most detailed figures for sure. For sure. Yeah, absolutely. And I think it's going to be something that's going to look great, autographed. Oh, I guess. Unfortunately, most of the power town guys are dead, so you can't get them signed. We're a little bit of a problem, yeah? It's so alive. Yeah. It's true. You know, you can't get that very God yourself. Oh, no. Greg will sign it, though. Greg will. I think Cardi said of it. Son of a B. Oh, yeah, we got mine. You're a power con. Figures. So these are still available. You got me as the Indie God. Obviously, this guy's trying to rip me off in the front row. Brian. Yeah, mine here. Is my, uh. Yeah. Yeah. Brian. Yeah, mine here. Is my, uh. My latest gear from impact. And then I kind of did a little shout out to Toybiz Marvel TNA there. I love it. So that's what the packaging was inspired by if you haven't seen it yet. What's that gear? Is it like, uh. And is it anything? I wanted it to be Jets inspired. You know, got a real. Back to being boned up. The Jets got on. Rodgers got real boned up. Somebody didn't say it. Probably in here. Yeah. It was. Yeah. They really asked if it was mortis inspired and I've got that way more than I've got Jets. So. Yes. That's his mortis gear, guys. Actually, this is funny. This is funny story. Impact. Uh. We did something where we jumped. Josh Alexander Kushita last loop. Whatever. I barely know Kushita. I'm beating him up in the corner. And he's like, these tights. Liger. You mark. And I was like, yeah. Wow. Yeah. He called me in the back. I was like, is that what you said? He goes, yeah. And he was laughing. I was like, thanks, man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Man, he's really stinging you there. I don't even know him. It's one of our first conversations. Yeah. Mark, what's that suit based on? Well, is that a giant suit? What is that? No, I mean, we got a catering in Columbus. Yeah. Yeah. Earlier in the AW run, I got a nice bright blue suit. Somebody told me I need to get suits that pops. I got a nice bright royal blue suit. And then whenever we go through Long Island, I try to wear, you know, Long Island color. Sometimes I'll do that where the color, the town. So specifically, we had a nice segment. Just wanted a business for himself, trying to get cheap pop. Yep, yep. We had a nice little bar. Yeah. But yeah, but this, I was MJF's lawyer on this episode. And he was a big baby face, you know what I'm saying? Come on. He was wearing all those. He was a big baby face. Yeah. Well, I was in the ring with him. Keep going. Anyway, Long Island colors got power bond by Wardlow for my troubles. And the packaging is also same name. Smart mark business card. Smart mark business card. Smart mark business card. Inspired, yeah. Orange and blue right there. But yeah, it's my first bendy and a suit. So there you go. And this is the first bendy that has an accessory. This Indie God hat is removable. And it's like pretty, it doesn't like fall off. It's all that pretty tight. Yeah, it's actually great. It's pretty cool. And this is inspired from the old school Indiana Jones toys. Probably illegal, but we were tomato and they're sold. So that's it. Don't rat us out. Yeah. We're looking to see Indiana Jones got the product. It's inspired. Yeah. So pick them up. They come with the bonus cards too. And then we'll sign them. We'll, we'll charge it, but we'll sign it, you know. We'll power. We'll charge it. We won't. That's right. It was ever been to one of our live shows. Not a live equipment. Like we need the live podcast. Anybody ever go to those? All right. Well, a couple. Hand full. But we have another one. The star of live 15 in the front row here. Oh, that's right. Live 17 or 17th live show is what is the 20th August 20th? Yep. So next Sunday at Calune in Boston, Massachusetts. It's going to be wild. Hey, fly into Boston from Columbus. I don't care. But it's going to be a great shoot. It's drive like Husvar does. Husvar is going to drive. We got a lot of surprise guests. There's going to be figure reveals. A lot of drinking. A lot of party. It's going to be a wild time. After party at a tiki bar. That's all I got. After party. And tickets are limited tickets are still available. So I mean, if you've been there, I don't have to sell to you. You know how much fun it is and how cool it is to, you know. To do something like that. Absolutely. All right. You guys ready for the news? Sure. All right. The news brought to you by Paps Blue Ribbon.

I like that. A lot of other retro stuff. Mitch has the toy show up the new rockers. Yeah. The sketches, right? Yeah. So, Genetti lead Cassidy. Which I liked. I wasn't thrilled with the same body. Through the exact same body. Exactly. I'm pretty positive of the exact same body. Like change some arms for me, pal. Or something. I don't know. I didn't know they were exact same body. I'm pretty sure exact same body. Because I'm going. I wouldn't have done that. But it's cool. He's making them. Right. Well, everyone's doing Mario Genetti's. Including us. Yes. Big rubber guys. It's Marty Genetti. It's Sergeant Slotter. It's Rick Flair. For those who don't know. They're a throwback. A callback to the LJN. So here's like a LJN macho man. Randy Savage. And then here's a big rubber guy. Matt Cardona. So I totally ripped off the mold. Of course. What would I do that going forward? We're not going to copy old poses. I just want to do it. Because I'm a macho man, Mark. Yeah. And actually, Matt. That was a Matt call. And at first I didn't agree with it. But then they would look like. Customs. And anyone could do this. I'm like, you're right. Yeah. Switch up all the. The poses. They'll be inspired. But, you know. And those are. Upper pre-order right now. Only a two week pre-order. It's Rick Flair. Sergeant Slotter. And Marty Genetti. So pick those up. majorpodmerge.com. Other news that we got. You see all those new micro brawlers? They dropped the. Adam Cole and M. Jeff. Is it a two pack? It's a two pack. It's a two pack. It's a two pack. It's a two pack. It's a two pack. It's a two pack. It's a two pack. Or a two pack. Two singles. They'll be probably two singles, like the acclaim bar. I'm not sure. That must be. Is there ever made a two pack? I don't think so. No, right? Like in the actual plastic? No. Then the plastic baggy days. Oh, no. That's good. Yeah. And then there's the hager in the purple hat. Yes. Well, I like this hat. I mean, we. Which I think you did a promo where you're saying he's not wearing anymore. Whatever. And they dropped the. So they like rushed it out. So. But very limited. And then what about this hook? AEW exclusive? You see that? No. Is he wearing black boots? What? All the shop AWS. The ones that Procent East does. Yes. Yeah. Does he ever wear black boots? There's a backstage like reference shot of him wearing black boots. All right. That's pretty cool. That's what. What? Yeah. I know that. The white hook shirt. Yes. And he's got black boots. And that's the only thing really different about the figure itself. And obviously the packaging is like hook packaging. Right. But he's never wrestled in that? I'm pretty positive, no. If I remember correctly, when he was showed his like prototype or whatever the hell they showed him, it was in the black boots. And you know, he switched to those. What he wears. I don't know if you guys ever noticed. They're cool. They're like custom Air Force ones in like boot size. How the hell you do that? They're little Nike's that go all the way up his leg. It's really, really cool. They're like all white Air Force ones. So he switched to that like right before his first match. I think he was ready to go with these black boots. And then he got those sneakers in. And so he always used those sneakers. I was there for his debut in Long Island and I'm pretty sure he had the white. Yeah. Yeah, 100%. Yeah. So yeah, that's weird. So it was the almost war. Well, there was backstage like reference shot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's a Makina jump ship to Jack. Oh, my God. That's a real question. Jesus. What about our super sevens? We got the packaging. I guess we're not going to cancel my super seven. We saw the packaging. It was cool. It was, it looked like the way I took it was forward. We got an email with photos of the packaging. Like real photos of it. Like real products. No figures included. Not like the artwork of it, but that like a finished thing. And I guess those are coming in the mail for us to review possibly. It's just like the first set of super sevens is different colors. The cover, the title belt. So super sevens here. Do you see that thundercats thing? Yo, I'm man. That one. That took me back, man. Like, I might be taking peace. Like, I might become a thundercats, man. It's just, it's huge. There's so much of like, you see it, it like stops time. And I do think it's cool that it closes a little bit. So you don't have to have like, if you were to have it in your home, it's not take up. I mean, it's going to take a lot of space. Oh, my God. No way around it. Oh, my God. Oops. Jesus.

I started this vlog That eventually is gonna come out about in my toy room. I think in April late April my videos to like a couple days ago So I've been just my room is a carpeted and bagged elite guys I'm just making cuts and categorizing like you know because obviously I want it for you and WCW guy I want you all to be on the close enough on the same show you know like I'm attitude error guys I want to be together, you know just for my OCD can have some rest But making these cuts and deciding so there was so weird there's four figures that I wanted to find here And I found them all yesterday without even trying. I'm not gonna bore you with bring them out here because they're just Updated ones different arms and hands to which guys that you end up getting I had to re-get that undertaker legends with the purple I had to I never bought the JYD legends that just came out okay justifying that that's different enough The Christian fan takeover friend central or whatever because it's the only the only Christian I kept in my collection Friends and colleagues that I thought I think it's the best one. What's the last to be hung out with Christian? He doesn't even respond to it He doesn't respond to our text, but I know but When he sees us he's happy and I know he's genuinely happy. He is a dick. Yes He said I told you in the airport the other day He said so really nice things about you Matt. He did? Yeah, he literally brought you up just that Didn't I know that He just uh he we we were waiting for that. I would hear what look we were waiting for a uh car or whatever And he just started talking about how successful your you are and how good you're doing and oh wow This he must be talking about me. Was he wine drink or something? No, he just got off the plane Yeah, so about macaroid or mind drug I think it's just mean to your to your face, but I think he genuinely is proud of you Oh, wow. That's the way I feel too. I do think he likes us a lot. He just would never say it out loud. Yeah He didn't come to my wedding Well, yeah, he didn't say he was uh and the last one is the WrestleMania three Ricky steamboat in the white fan ticker when it got him It was crazy. I walked around but whoop found him on here very affordable too So those are cuts and gets that I got so I got We're doing that that dick Tracy uh Little episodes where I got this Al big boy Caprice so I bought dick Tracy a couple of weeks ago But I needed like he's like the top guy The top film. Yeah, he's the heel. So I needed it. It's it's coming off the car Like he doesn't matter. I'm gonna let this breathe anyway Like it's unglued, you know what I'm saying? Where's this hunchback? He's like, oh, like I was watching this morning Yeah, well not in the figure really. It's really in here. These figures were awesome Like I had there was so much hype going into this movie so many figures so many villains Yeah, we'll work you're gonna talk a lot about that on the bonus episode Yes, but if anyone has the the blank I'm looking for it But I did in the bag. I'm not gonna open up there. I've got a lot of brosky bucks I if there was a blank here, I would buy it But I wouldn't see the blank. Yeah, I don't want to call that on us. No, no These figures are great. I'm not gonna be a completist. There's so many of them, but I want to have the blank Cheap Yeah, the whole I mean everyone but the blank. Oh, everyone but the blank. Yeah Yeah, I bought this for five bucks Yeah, they're cheap for sure, but I definitely want the blank like in in the box and in the dick Tracy loose and then uh, you want a men on card blank Yeah, preferably whoo. Yeah, yeah, I think you need flat top too, but maybe I put there's a flat top here But it was yellow the white shirt was yellowing. I don't want that. Yeah, I would get flat top Yeah, so Got you can't hear this but the guy in the front row saying that She was released in Canada, so that's why yeah, all right What else did you guys get? I got the uh a marco's me 30 bucks. Yeah, I subriding bought this for me So the the he-man movie with Dolph Lungren is one of my favorite He-man Wow, round of applause. What a what a film guy is a staggering golf club It I do not think it holds up, but it is greatness. Don't you like time with you were just lost his mash We're still learning and it gets the like you tried clap uh Anyways, uh love the movie they've made a number of figures uh to to represent that Dolph Lungren He-man however the heads are really bad super seven head is passable the motel head is awful Uh, and so there's a company and I don't remember the name here Romantoy Romantoy they did these Manufactured Dolph Lungren heads that go on your super seven is they're cool I thought this is a customer. This is a real product Yeah, it's a real product, but it's really illegal. Yeah Yeah, I'm not really sure I can't believe the head is so bad that this guy was able to like I think it's genius I mean the whole thing's genius, but yeah, like well, it's pretty cool. I got two versions of this um Of this Dolph Lungren Said that motel one came out and it was so bad. I just didn't even get it But I bought this head and then I bought it today. It's still on motel creation. So I have that coming in the mail But I got two Dolph Lungren's heads. That's what I got is the motel one supposed to look like Dolph Lungren? Yeah, well they know they can't yes exactly right exactly, but it's the same gear or whatever you would say It's the same look from the film got it. These are two of the exact same heads, but they have different peg hole sizes to fit different Figures theoretically speak right. Yes. Yeah cool I also picked up I also picked up this tune totals Irma bro I said who the hell is Irma got to get an Irma. She's she's Mark said she's necessary. Yeah, she's in every episode Yeah, she's really yes And I have her neck a figure, but these brine this was the the tune turtle. So The turtles that we grew up with the figures didn't look like the cartoons as well as a do you were like 20 when that came out Oh, I was I was out of Since re-bought with the tune turtle. So I need Irma who who is Irma? Worked at channel six. She's April's friend. You need her She's she's man crazed Which was it was a very very weird character choice, you know for a children's show. Yeah Speaking of neka and turtles mark. What are you doing with that sewer that they're putting out? Oh, man, so they have this I was cool to see last time on display I've been told $299 It comes with all the accessories for the turtle layer and decorate your own sewer They want you to buy two I would need to buy I asked the guy he's like it's just suggestive that you buy one of the cool things Is it fits directly underneath that street diorama that they sold so so if you have that and you place it right on top That's your whole display. I guess, but that's not even remotely close to the amount of figures that they've come out for the neka cartoon So you really kind of got to do a lot. I mean, I was talking to Kyle Peterson for like an hour about this I don't know what to do. I might I might buy two and I might put it on my existing display and raise the entire display up, but then I it's like a quarter of my room becomes a ninja turtle cartoon display and then that's just too much. I feel It's just a little weird. I don't think you're like that big of a turtle. That's what I'm saying That's what I'm saying you knew Irma was yeah, that's why the the the nitro ring was wonky to me because You walk into my office where where I was going to put it and then it looks like my office is a nitro office Because of how big it is So I the turtle thing like I'm either going $600 into this thing or I'm gonna sell all my ninja turtle things Because you'd have to buy another city die around the two right? Yeah, it's like I don't know what this is I think Well, secondary market now probably 500. Oh my god. Yeah, I don't know. That's a lot of money Yeah, I think I think stuff like that like because I'm dealing with it too. Like real estate is all just what's your wheelhouse Yeah, like I'm willing to Give up more for Hasbro double of Hasbro stuff 100 CCW stuff because that's like my Complete wheelhouse of what of my fandom Like another thing's kind of trickle down to the way side. Yeah speaking of signed Hasbro's that you need I saw someone had a rick root in our Facebook group. Yeah, Bernard. Where's Bernard? No, yeah, it's cool I don't think I've ever seen one. I do think that was real but it's a two Bernard See you all back as it's two Bernard ballpoint pen, which is expected, but it's a two Bernard and I would get a press a place hold on what if you'd ever get another one would you rather two Bernard or none at all? What's the price? Uh, I didn't even get that far so I don't know Thousands I would have to think yeah, yeah Yeah, I don't know if it was a decent price. Maybe I get the two Bernard you're jumping for joy. Oh, yeah Anyway, anybody know Bernard is a big rick root fan named Bernard Yeah, it's a tough sell. I have a mint on card. Okay. Yeah, so it's like real There's really nothing for now. I get it. Okay, somebody was saying is there way to get the pen off and just get it to say to be But I don't think that's too risky All right, what about what about these Useless brine that you guys it's time. It's time. All right, Mark's gonna have to Okay, yeah, this is great. Look at this. Well, first off Like I said the most professional wrestler's not a gimmick its way of life Prepare to bag these bad boys when I'll mix them up here when we're done I just Man, I'm still not convinced that one's Jay and the others jibby. I think they're both Jay So I think this middle head is Jay everything else is Jimmy and that's all Jay. Let me see deep freedom disagrees He he doesn't know either though. He's just taking his best educated guest too. So the product like What's throwing it off is Jimmy should have the bang's period. Yeah, why does it that's throwing off the likeness And then Jimmy Did get leaner and they they just they're twins and they became even more you know Twin like with that. It's very tough, but I'm look at these this Jimmy. I just see Jay Jay Jay triple Jay one. I see That's definitely Jay I don't know I don't think so. Yeah, let's get at it So you're opening technically Jimmy Jimmy is me open first But you think they're all Jay. So please silence your cell phones out there in the crowd walkies and cell phones off Where's Kassamat? Yeah One person got that All right, we're in packaging Whip At one point do we think the pictures are even wrong because that's corrected. No, no, they that was on the Some other things. Yeah, because this is definitely all Jimmy photo. This is definitely. Yeah, definitely Jay in the box All right, we have the Flower necklace We the ones soft good shirt I mean these guys are definitely worthy of ultimate figures, but I don't think they're old nice and tight new pant molds Bloodline on there I think this is I'm happy with this. I think this is Jimmy Maybe that faces that hair the hair the bangs are throwing it off. What did he ever have bangs like that? I don't really think so no I mean the hair is clearly longer like we'll open the jail see that the hair won't be that long Tats look awesome Very happy with this both belts the hat. I also think we need display Just go hat you gotta go ahead you won't be able to really you know, let me see that hat on them It's a little big little big. Oh, then you don't even see the bags then you don't see that that's I think that's the solve Okay, yeah Uh too much that's a hands the point. I think that's what everyone probably wants, right? Oh, yeah You going shirt Shirt and shirts and flowers. I think it's what I'm doing. Maybe even the belts. Oh, yeah. Oh, you gotta go with the belts That's a pretty cool I think honestly these guys are so hot rings. I was gonna make a killing with this That solo was it like in the top one or two for I'm talking I went the past couple of times I went there you see the outgoing orders and it's just usos and codis like just piles on wow It looks like sweet too But the beard the the beard is the paint application guys are gonna see it here in the crowd But like the gray and the beard is a little suspect It looks like he's eating the powdered doughnut. Yeah It's not good. Yeah, it's a little funky. He's on the pants. I don't know. There's a pants are different. Cool Amen, this is a much anticipated figure for me. I love these guys, so No, definitely worthy of ultimates. I'll definitely be getting them as well I just wish they could get the faces down better because I mean they're twins, but they're not identical twins Yeah, it shouldn't be hard to tell my part It's really those weird bangs because you know, he doesn't have the bangs at all, so All right, well, that's all we got, right? I think there's a new minding else chip skate sterling Oh, I'm I'm thinking I'm thinking about a big big purchase to me. Yeah, what do you get? Well, I don't want to say I don't think you'll go Somebody in this room, Michael buy it Yeah, or they're gonna jack over the price.

There's a microphone in the middle of the room. Please uh, I didn't see that step right now We we got we got somebody come we're going right over there right now perfect Um, well, we'll take some time with these questions. Yeah, so yeah, go ahead introduce yourself speak loudly into the mic please Oh Like Huh Oh, and Chella just did that. So that's interesting. Well, the cello what I think is horrible So this one is an improvement. It's not horrible. It's not it's not gonna I thought the cello on us. All right, it's because it's weird like streaks in there. Yeah, it's got which is all cool It's just not gonna excite you, but it's fun Interesting. You had a joe. Indie God. All right, introduce yourself and ask your question So what is your favorite Jack's WWE figure and why is it Royal Rumble Mark Henry? Yeah, it's a God. Thank you, Mark Henry. Yeah, that Mark Henry is when they were cut and Cut and cost and they didn't put the singlet on them. So I feel like if you didn't live in that collecting time You're not you're never gonna understand. It's like they knew they lost the license and they said fuck it Yeah, you know, they wouldn't put logos on. They didn't give Mark Henry a singlet But favorite jacks Hmm, man, favorite jacks. What anything? Brothers aggression Hmm, man, I would say that the treacherous trio's Kurt Honk is that right? I mean for sentimental reasons That's obviously, you know, you never forget your first, you know, and we actually have the the prototype to the hand-painted prototypes Jack's is really cool about giving talent who cared like the hand-painted prototypes like Mattel won't give you Jack shit You know, so Jack's is really really cool about it and then that three-pack was supposed to come with a gray beanie that I wore like a beanie hat It never did but the soft goods with the prototype has it. So I guess I'm the only one in the world with that so it's cool Great question. I don't know if I can answer I didn't click in a classic that don't doesn't really count Classics count then then the red row brick flare period in the story. That's here is two flare That's in our Hall of Fame, right? Yeah, I think it is phenomenal. Thank you, buddy. Great question. Indy Mad Max coming up Awesome line Thank you but My question was saying when each opinion did then going back to fix the hits on the first wave I think that put them behind the evil for their future Announcements because I haven't heard anything I know they do a bread go announcement, but as far as I'm serious to the ultra line. I would assume so. Yeah, yeah so And besides us being signed as talent. We have no like involvement with the company, but I think that they need to Get serious to roll and quick because you know, you don't want just six figures on a show you the build a collection You know, they're so hot right now the prices on eBay for that that series one is crazy and whoever's Whatever like not a lot of other places picked them up right and when they're selling like crazy So it's like man, you know strike. I feel like I think they're I think they're great figures and they're not like in the same Universes like Matteller AEW, so they need more of their own figures You know I'm saying because they need their whole garden, but yeah, you they're a little bigger You know, so like you need more of them to have a real collection of them in my opinion Yeah, it's common. It's just you know Hopefully sooner than later, but I and I'm not trying to do shot of Mattel but Mattel's got like the same people like Unless you're like a whole Kogan die hard. I am a whole Kogan die hard enough fucking Hogan So like the at least they have that they have a kind of a wacky roll of decks of people that you know We would never get from the tell so that's like what's exciting about that too for me like Jacques Rojo's dad Not that deep down Not that deep down the road, but you know, yeah Oh, man. Thank you. I will say this like so we got the We get to see the actual prototypes of the Matt and Brian they're fucking incredible But they gave me the robe to take home and look at my actual rope to compare and contrast I hate soft goods, and I think it's the best soft goods any wrestling companies ever done And that's coming from guy who hates soft goods. Wow cool He from who I don't I don't think so first of all is a replica I got people talking and No, he would do I don't can fire me. I was already fired It's all good any other thing is you guys Talk about it. Maybe have plans opening up a store That back where we live in New York. He knew your cal though. That's what he talks about that I think it's so for 50 million dollars. I have no idea. Let me tell you my dream This is my dream. I'm still pitching it to connect. I think it's a great idea I read the record in Orlando, right? We we move our major pod merch like warehouse Which basically connects fucking house. Yeah, we move it to Orlando We set it up like a store like figures on pegs below blood small the small captain Joe Schoes is there to greet you like it won't No, but I have a podcast dude in the back Where I record the podcast, but we don't keep the store open money through Friday and like every like other weekend We bring in like Dan house and there's something for assigning and then we open the store up That's my dream. I wouldn't want to have like I wouldn't trust anybody else because I'd want to put like all the haspers like on display Like the rhythm blues Greg Valentine I wouldn't trust some fucking kid in there when I'm not there, you know, I'm saying so that's my goal But we got to get connected to a move to Orlando be get his license No, no well done. He has his license The major wrestling figure store. Yes, exactly. Yeah Probably not gonna happen, but it's a dream. I think it's happening Connect is is has informed us that he's he's taking driving lessons He's going to a driving school and here's the interesting thing He might be the first time any human being has done that while having a license He already has a license now. He's going to school to learn how to drive Yeah, hello Oh, man, that's a loaded question Brian and Aladdin I think Brian and pigment It's a battle pack you versus figman Brian I just don't know he is and they were talking about one time Like are you going to speak English? You got pigment tattooed sorry to hear that man Thank you. Thank you. Well, does Indiana Jones count as Disney? I think so I think so a hundred percent He does they got a ride in Disney Indiana Jones. Yeah Yeah, I think you mean like Mickey or something like that I just a two-packed and Mickey would be great macro or Mickey. Why not? I'd have to just use the cheat code and be like someone from descendants. So my kids would think I'm cool That's where I'm leaning towards because I don't care personally like you know, you're no fun. Sorry Can it can I be in with wreck at Ralph? Yeah, all right, sure, wreck it rough By the way, just saw just saw those two movies and Ralph was like my favorite. You've never seen wreck it right? No No, my daughter kept saying no all the time. So we finally watched it and she loves it It's a good song, too. I think she just thought it was about the big weird dude But but the the girl is like the main character really so Penelope. Yeah, great movie guys We got the yeah, I can take a couple questions We have from the group if you guys want to think about it But we're we're gonna be sticking around here for some time So go ahead and think of some questions and pop right up when you have All right hold on here, okay, we got Yeah, I think we're all gonna be in the WW very soon AJ Lanigan AJ Lanigan says we'll we be seeing more modern talent in the Big rubber guys line down the road Never but it's not in the plan really. Oh, I had no idea. No, we want to keep the the Big rubber guys nostalgic like you know LJM would have continued or if LJM would have gotten the WCW and WA license This is what we're doing flare from end of the way, you know, we only do ourselves as a test run end because we're marks for ourselves That's right business, but yeah, right. Yeah, I mean they're I don't think we would do like a swaggle or like Certain guys like a Nick Gage or something maybe but like I'm no thanks to Fee but no Fee or no Yeah, I just don't yeah, I'd rather like keep it like cool nostalgic line. Absolutely plan. That's cool at the moment Jeffrey Croniac says are you still finding things made during your childhoods that you never knew existed until now? I thought about this a second ago Not totally like this, but walking in power count Tom power con I saw these figures and I don't even know what they are. Maybe shoes knows they came out in the 80s They're like big guys and they have all these like peg holes in it and then I guess Yes, yeah, I saw that and it was just like one of those Oh, I haven't the out of those toys in 22 years or 22 probably whatever since I was four years old Yeah, right and and then I saw that and I remember had all these memories of having all the colors and then building on them and like the Scuba guy it was insane and just seeing that one laying on the on the table Yeah, when you read that question, I was thinking more of that like things that I just I had and I hadn't seen it a long time I got some biker mice from Mars yesterday. I was like holy Had these like I'm thought about biker mice from Mars 25 years plus room didn't I mean it was just cool. It was just cool just taking my one guy had these I couldn't tell you one thing about biker mice from Mars, but I know I had those three figures and I played with them I almost bought you know back in the day They made that WWF like hockey like place it So someone had that and someone has it here and they had like a turtles one And I was gonna get the turtles one if it was absolutely mint But we opened it up and it was like played with and the sticks would have that as a kid the turtles one I did not but I would have bought it Where do you have your wf1? It's just in a box really In a perfect world in that new room or you can try to put it out Like like out like if you were to play with it. Yeah, like on a table or something. Yeah, that's cool 100% if I I would that's something on my list like some day I would like to own that but I don't know where I would put it I think you need some of those pieces Brian like if you're a mr. perfect guy No, I played it in my friends as I never owned it some I'm okay This is a good one. We were just talking about Brian reordering there those Mattel figures John Web says if you could have any Mattel figure re-released What would it be so in a world where we're getting better figures now? Oh, well, is it just gonna have hands and new elbows? Are we talking like a different version? I think you could fix it. No, and I'm saying like a fixed version of whatever the thing Jimmy snooker I would love to have a nice Jimmy snooker the Mattel one sucks Yeah, but I think he's saying like it's gonna just be the fixed elbows and stuff. Well then why no? I mean, I imagine they fix whatever. Oh, well then I can put a different like different parts on him Error of Jimmy snooker's what I was trying to know Jimmy snooker that's out. I'm thinking I'm thinking the fixed You know like with better with hands and stuff I think look um there are now that I was going through. I mean, well God damn the macho man. I got canceled would be nice Yeah, that's such an amazing figure and now you look at it like man to have it with the point they're doing the pose Yeah, a lot better than just secrets standing inside So that's as I'm going through these I'm I am seeing that a lot of them like the old ones are still nice figures But man, if you were able to have different hands and you could kind of pose them hands are better. I mean changes Yeah, I really I need a WCW DDP with the with the diamond hands, right? Good call. Okay. Yeah, that yeah because they've never done that They did the basic with the jeans and then they also have just not a good thing. Yeah, it's a bit whatever Yeah, I don't want that one. I want the WCW top guy. I'd want to produce reduce some of those bread hearts with and correct the glasses Every bread heart Just not make the face ugly we get a 20 pack of bread hearts all correct correct Where's this guy needs to make some bread our heads and make a kill in here Oh Man, we got a question introduce yourself I'm Aaron Brennan. I wanted to ask you guys The success you guys have had carrying on the band of wine and then continue on the LJM line Is there another different toy line that's next down the road you guys Oh, man, I don't think so. I mean There's so much retro stuff out there, especially in the wrestling space like so many people are doing the the Hasbro style Even now figured collections doing that bone crushing style, which I would have picked You know, but I didn't even think it was possible to do But he figured it out with the bone crunching, but then you got two expensive firms. So seriously It's not even gonna have the bone crunching. I don't think you need it But I think we have to stick with the big rubber guys. Yeah, there's no plans, but the only thing that I would even consider Major sweat I would only think I would even consider I would actually I would consider Well, oh, that would now would hate to have this really jacked figure of himself. Yeah. Oh, man. I would it's a tough cell Like a low run. Yeah, I could definitely get it just a maximum sweats major sweat. Yeah Man, look at the whole man the wheels are spinning does he have goosebumps on his eyes? I don't No question. What's up, man? Yeah You all worry more about the impact wrestling figures I know everything there is to know about this It's not my story to tell yet But when it's all said and done, I will be the white knight Of this story and you guys will thank me for it, but uh, yeah, just have patience as all I could say I hand sizes on some of these figures That one open hand is like Yeah Something yeah or the the best example is um What's what was Spud's WWE name? Drake Maverick. Yeah, that's a wild what yeah should put some female hands on him, but uh Yeah, that's just I think that's just a working person. I'm a amazing like someone like I was looking at someone like the two sweets are like a little tiny Yeah, just you know preference, but the open hand is the one that's kind of funny. Yeah, you put on Johnny Gargano goes across the set It's too tiny Okay, more questions from the group. Yeah, we got them. This was like I'm waiting for shoes. I'm looking right at you shoes. Let's go Are you putting on lip gloss? Nigel Bigger said should AW wrestlers be made to keep their gear for longer so their action figures do not age out so quickly That's an insane ass. I thought this was a rule in WWE that you couldn't change hair color etc without permission. Is that true? No, yeah, well, yes, you know, no, I don't think I guess there was for sure And I don't know about right now, but WWE like you weren't allowed to just get a drastic haircut or a tattoo because like And it's not really just toys. It's everything. It's like photos and you know promotional things that they have you on you know Right And it kind of depends on your Status of how much you could get in trouble about that you remember like Umaga. I remember maga coming in with the is the Samoa and it's something that what the fuck and then they just forgot about like Of course the wagas are getting trouble. The major brothers did that. We would have been fired, you know so That's the reason behind that um and that to To coordinate toys that take a year to make with people's outfits on television and real-time is Virtually impossible in hotel stride a couple times. It's just hard the episode and then and then not and then another thing is the boys are doing the opposite like When we used to ride with punkbacker that he was purposely changing his gear Non-stop to get more toys. So like like it was literally on purpose But but also in a world where like you know the television product is the most important thing possible The the angles on TV that the character changes like they're not in a room going um Man, we really need to like, you know get this guy out of this group and then somebody's going but They have an inner circle figure coming out We can't do that. You know, and people would be like we don't care if that figure doesn't sell a single one We have to do this change. I don't think that's ever come up at any booking meeting in all wrestling Exactly. Exactly. The story Oh, well, we got a celebrity first time right here Is this your first power compound? Um Matt mentioned the cats player from Super 7 before so I was wondering is there a premium item From another toy line that is kind of a grail item Something big massive from a toy line you guys would like that could go into production Is there like a an item you decide maybe like a technodrome from Turtles or something like a really big one Thanks You wanted that uh the Jurassic Park gates right? Yeah, one of those goddamn Jurassic Park gates that we're not gonna get Well, I said the technodrome I look I just said on this podcast that I was considering getting out Yeah, but I guess if you were going to do a big thing You know if this if this ThunderCats thing does great and they report great numbers from it I could see Super 7 or neka doing a technodrome type of thing that's that same size for sure That would be huge bro the same size literally the same size of that thing you could do. Yeah Oh my god. I mean if that thing is huge. Yeah, the technodrome would be huge I think it's just unfortunate that the the nitro Stage you get back. I mean in in the wrestling landscape. Yeah, it's tough to even imagine once now that that didn't get back So like I don't think Mattel's gonna try anything that size You know, I keep saying like a Terry like a bloody Terry funk with the ECW entranceway, you know, yeah, that's that could be it That's not market though. Yeah, well, I'm thinking that's the meat on the bone that it's like, you know, bloody or something that Would keep it out of the stores would be too big Don't we think just like a premium raw stage like I don't even know if it needs to have some sort of this is the 97 stage or whatever Like couldn't you just do a premium raw ramp with it with a How do you execute the tron? I don't know you can't pick a time that that looks good I mean there was a just 10 years Given someone to stun her on it like I don't know that's like I mean You know what a flashing lights. I don't know. I don't know raw raw logo. Sometimes the problem. Yeah Yeah, another question here Yes, right single release single release Brian is in charge of that. So I don't know what's going on with that I'm dead set on glow in the dark features. So we're like working on yeah Yeah, she's gonna be a standalone with her own exclusive carding and if we can get it to glow in the dark Then we're gonna do glow in the dark. I'm pretty confident in that that's been going on for a long time in toys I don't feel like we'll hit too many hurdles with that Yeah September we'll put up the next set for pre-order Which we haven't publicly said who it is, have we? No, you want to just drop some knowledge Sure, well now we have to Is going to be heave Diana oh baby Ponderosa Chavo Guerrero with Pepe. Yep, and Conan K dog. Yeah No end of the over low Conan. Yeah All right, Dave Wheeler. Dave Wheeler So this is something I can see around here all the crossover figures like Sartre slaughter Meaning GI Joe and stuff like that What is a line that you would like to see you guys crossover with like in an ideal situation? So we have fucking although it was supposed to be a GI Joe But I think the turtles are like horned themselves out so much Well, let's let's do some age of my turtles. That's a Dylan Postel with the Muppets What I would like goes past sacrifice myself for a Dylan Postel and the Muppets to pack who would but who would they be You know just let's officially make him a Muppet like we always knew that he was oh my god That's horrible. I would love turtles That's I've actually premium item that he could sell a Muppet Swaggle. Yeah Well, he wasn't a Muppet move. I know, but make him a Muppet. How has he not made that already? He could get somebody to design a Swaggle Muppet and then he could just make it sell it That would be great. He's very creative Swaggle Muppet hip Yeah, that was different. That was different than anything I said anyway Uh, did you have an answer? No, I don't know. Yeah turtles would be great turtles major bendy I actually I was thinking what about like um Big rubber guys I was I was thinking earlier if if you were to branch out into Things from the 80s. So maybe like an 18 big rubber's guys. Maybe not mr. T but the other guys I would love like a Rocky Belboa. Yeah, yeah, that would be yeah, that's perfect. Yeah, he man That'd be cool. Yeah John Conn would you buy a he-man big rubber guy Absolutely. Yeah, he's in all right. We got one sale go How far is here? He made it. I didn't see him at the table House farm a dis debuted creator pro wrestling as a referee guys Congrats. There you go. Look at that round of applause So all the things you got guys have accomplished in the five years of the podcast Was there anything that was like the most surprising or they never thought that ever happened and here we are Blink almost everything. Yeah, I think Because I didn't know when we started the podcast it was just us If I can talk about toys I think the first one is like 45 minutes up. We didn't think that there would be merch Where there'd be our figure line t-shirts or or there we get fired Yeah, I mean everything changed like you know, it's like I can't even think to what I was thinking back then because everything's drastically changed so much I mean you never expect you never thought guys that you would be making a rick flair action figure. Okay. Yeah Why aren't you money? Wiring rick flair money Yeah, it's not going through and then him being pissed and having to pay pal it and then he gets at the pay pal and then having to catch the pay pal Shitting his pants. Oh my god. Um, yeah, just everything I mean I say it all the time, but I I'm well forever grateful that Matt pushed me to do this because I did not I didn't have the vision of what it could have been and I don't I don't think you did either Well, at least you do something And it like it was just life changing that we you know that we we did this so It's been been a while right. I'm you know Don't see it ending ever. So I mean, it's been so cool. It started to like a real business like a full-blown job Doesn't really feel like work, you know, we're talking about toys or designing toys or it's just it's so much fun But yeah, like we didn't think any of this We did this wasn't like the plan in the beginning was to you know now even just that we'd be at a I power god and talking about toy, you know This is even a wrestling convention right here. I know it's kind of like surreal in that sense, right? Like that's how far this has come, you know So that's like that's a great question. How's it going? Thanks. I will say that um I on the other side of it. I think I feel like I sought I mean I saw that this book too good. I just coming through here No, no I've said I've told this story before but I saw Brian was my wrestling teacher and I saw him tweet Would you guys like it if me and Matt did a wrestling figure podcast? That's what I saw and I immediately texted him and said if you guys do this, I want to help because I had just launched off the hop rope and You know, I sort of was thinking yeah, I just want to have a good time to start this podcast get a new brand out there Whatever, but I also was thinking the down the line like what's the business plan here? How could I monetize this? Where could this go? What would I need to do to have that happen? And then so when I saw Brian say that on Twitter all I saw where that could go I saw the success that I was imagining in my head for off the rope But times a million because these guys were even more of an expert about the topic They were the perfect Spokes people for the the wrestling figure industry. It was just I saw it. I saw that the podcast would be very successful. However I did not see this I thought that the audio podcast would be a successful venture I was like Like as far as I saw it was like we'll have a t-shirt store and pros and t-shirts We'll sell some funny shirts from time to time. That was about it Like even in the beginning like I've talked about before like we Presented the idea to WWE whatever it was gonna be like the Zach and Kurt wrestling figure show And they said no and they said, you know, they didn't see anything in collectibles or podcasts Luckily somebody who may or may not be in this room said just go ahead and do it Thank you very much. How's far. Thank you for telling me Yeah, and then you know when we got fired luckily it was Matt and Brian because it would have been gone And we were able to build upon it and grow it and Got a question. Yeah, I got a nice. Clark Kent. Can we help you? Good questions from uh, is that the number one referee bendy? Yes. Yes. Referee bendy number one The big rubber guys are great. I'm excited to see that iconic 80s twirline Continue almost what goes into creating a twirline What kind of work you talk a little bit about Sure, that's a great question. So let's let's say Starts with us and are the great connections we've made in the wrestling business for 27 years So we figure out who we want to make and then we actually have to approach them Approach them sign them and we don't do exclusive contracts I want people to make as much money as they can sign with whatever other company want. I don't give a shit The only exclusivity in our contract is that no one else can make a fully rubber figure of that particular style Which no one else is doing wouldn't happen. So yeah at the moment So then you know, we kind of decide like what gear we want them to be in what look and then we have ttd Our artist who is incredible and he He gives us a draft we send him reference shots of things of what we'd like it to Yeah, and then we go back before with him and then we send it to psycho D freedom who Sex it yeah sex it that makes it even more perfect and accurate Um, and then we have to send it to a 3d sculptor who makes a 3d sculpt of it And then that gets into China where they make the prototype Uh, the hand painted prototype. They mail it to us Then we review that because there's always something wrong with it We send it to the D freedom who dissect you. Yeah, that's never just like yep thumbs up. That's always like This that yeah, it's Um, and then once we have like once we approve the hand painted prototype Then it's it's pretty easy. You know, um, there's always like a snap through like and packaging concept Packaging concept sure like you know, for instance for powercon We want to have all we could have just the same package We want to have all different exclusive packaging I think it's fun that way and we wanted these to be you know We like to let him breathe but we know there's a lot of men on card collectors That's why all our packaging is resealable so you can take it out Take pictures of it figure photography and put it back in the in the box if you wanted it so what is a big Team effort with connect and ttd really doing the the hard work I would say yeah, it connects up at the crack of dawn like Cont in contact with China and like right there We had a fiasco the other day where he called them and screamed at them about something So like he's the one who's really getting his you know fingernails dirty like doing all the the hard work really Yeah, the sdl figure that was made like her face just kept looking off and off and off and off and then eventually like connect The factory and like they they didn't investigation. They were us whoever was making the molds was letting air into the mold And it was like warping her face. Yeah, so just a lot goes into it But you have to be like hands on 24 seven or all that's why a lot of these companies take so long Like if you get an email from China get her spun right away You know you can't respond a couple days like it has to be done And that's why we started this toy line is because we wanted to be Our top priority, you know super seven's great being with the rings eyes great, but we're not their top priority Which is fine. I'm not expecting to me. Yeah, but the only way to guarantee that us and our figures are our top priority Is we just do it ourselves and even then it's still process that takes time no matter what yeah, so that was a great question. Yeah Awesome Ken Bruno says Well, we've got life 17 coming up guys He says who is the best guest for a live show that fell through Fell through yeah, nobody nobody bells on us. Maybe not bail, but Uh I feel like there was somebody big we had Christian once, but then he like oh, yeah, you never agreed You never agreed to do it. He agreed, but then didn't I just would have been a prick anyway. I wonder if I could pull the tax I thought there was somebody in Dallas and we have somebody big that was gonna do Dallas and then Undertaker Yeah, yeah, Mark no show that one. Yeah, yeah, we had Undertaker and Dallas guys. I can't There was a lot of we don't know if they're gonna be here We weren't 100% sure Jerry. I always love when people come and they have no clue They're gonna enter and then they have the best time ever. That's like my favorite thing Let's turn this into a positive. What about people we didn't expect in major showed up like Kevin Nash God that was a whole collapse. We put him at the end Well, he's the main event, but we were like if if he doesn't show up if he doesn't show up Like we'll go to this segment or whatever. Yeah, we had plans and he did. Yeah, you just gave shoes cuz shoes could tell he's the best story when he walked in come here Yeah, when he walked into the back. Yeah, I use these mics. Yeah, come on right up to the stage. That one's not It's not going here. It's going to be he's got a pipe guys. Don't round him out Shoes. What was it like come come to my mic shoes. What was it like when uh Big Kevin walked in backstage in Orlando It's like seeing the face of God Uh, we're all standing there. We're setting up for the show putting merch together the the gift bags and all that And all of a sudden Mother fucking diesel right through the front door And you're just saying That's fucking Kevin Nash and I've been around Kevin Nash like I was on the indies for a long time So I've you know, I know who he is. I'm not intimidated by Kevin Nash But this is still Kevin fucking Nash in a major pot like walking into this bar in Orlando With a line of major marks waiting to get in who are all going That's fucking diesel And he just comes in he goes Hey Where are you guys sitting me They take him into this back hallway that hasn't been mopped in I don't know 31 years It's the back of a restaurant. It's horrible. It is literally a hallway And my man just sat down Everyone in the back every single one of us there Like bent the knee Fucking diesel Yeah, sir if you want to say anything we will listen to it We will eat it up with a spoon And that man just held court for like the entire night until it was time to go out and he goes Right, I guess I got to go make my money now and he just went and did Kevin Nash shit Because when I was 17 I was like one of these guys like oh fuck Kevin Nash He does his five moves he sucks 40-year-old me Kevin Nash is the fucking man and all I want to do All I want to do is hang out with that man.
