Okay, I am sorry that it took me to blow up on you but you came through. Marty was the first to step up to the plate but the rest of you took off.
First up we have Ivy, of the Moorhead Minnesota Ivy's. He apparently is down south somewhere that is not experiencing the best of weather. Ivy what you got?
Peterson:
I was actually thinking a Pack jersey might be OK, as I thought "the" question could be Pack, or Queens? He is an old Gopher you know.
And it is totally appropriate to break tradition and do the 4 fingers with Nature Boy. You really shouldn't do it any other way in my opinion.
Wish I was there. Coldest weather in Florida since the Ice Age and too windy to fish. Oh well...
Later
Ivy
Okay Ivy is for the Pack jersey. Figures since he is a queen fan. Remember all you queen fans are welcome under our tent. No harm done. He is also for the four fingers up. I am thinking that is a good idea also. As for your question, not bad. I might add that one in there. If he says queens, I am not sure if I will tell him he is wrong, even though he would be. I know it would be an honour for him to lock in the figure four on me, but that kinda hurts so I think I will leave it alone.
Next up is Danny McIntosh, of the Regina CTV (sucks) McIntosh's. He is also in agreement on the four fingers up...
I have the solutions to your problems my friend. You wear your very own Ric Flair/Chris Peterson head to toe Armani. You flash the 4 fingers. And you ask him how his kids are doing. Problem solved.
Need anything else - let me know.
Dan McIntosh
Okay Danny. Thanks for the help. Not sure I am going to ask how are his kids. I do know that one of his boys is going to wrestle one of Hogan's kids. The one who is not in jail for killing someone (allegedly). As for the 'anything else' how about coming over and shoveling my driveway. See ya soon.
Next on the list of those who helped is Jon Bauer, of the Minot Budget Tapes and Records Bauer's..
Chris,
thing to sign : your arm so that you can make it into a real neat tattoo thing to wear: Carolina Huricanes Hockey jersey question: ask him if he has ever met Chris Paul
hope this helped
Jon Bauer
First off, no, Jon is not related to Jack Bauer of 24 fame. Second, the tattoo is funny but not practical. I did a story on a guy in GB once who wanted Favre to sign his back so he could do that. He also had a full size tattoo of Lambeau Field, Lombardi, the Super Bowl trophies (viqueens don't have any), and about 10 0ther things Packer related. Nope, not gonna do it. The Carolina Hurricanes jersey is a good idea but I do not have one. Last but not least, who is Chris Paul? Is he a basketball player, and why should Flair know him?
Next up is Heath McCoy, of the Calgary Herald McCoy's. He is as you all know the author of the great book about Stampede Wrestling. You can buy it here. Great book. Let see if his ideas are as good as the book...
Seriously man… That was a funny blog. I'd definitely pose with him doing the horsemen hand sign. It's a show of respect and will show him you're a true fan as opposed to the generic thumbs up.
As for the question… I think I'd ask him what he considers to be the golden era of professional wrestling and if he thinks the art is dying in the current climate. How does today's product measure up to what he was bringing people in the 70s and 80s?
Good luck man… I'm pumped for ya.
Heath
Thank you Heath. I appreciate your comments since you are a big time author and all. Another vote for the four fingers up. I like your question a lot. I was thinking of asking something along these lines but could not word it as well as you did. I guess that is why you get paid to do this by the Calgary Hearald. Nice job Heath. I will ask him that.
Donna, of the Donna's who lives in my house Donna's, also gave me some, ahem, advice.
Christopher,
You sound like a girl getting ready for the prom. I don't think you planned this much for our wedding.Donna
uh thanks, I think. I am not sure if you really know what a prom is since you do not have those here in Canada. But thanks again. Oh and I did plan a lot for our wedding. Remember the keg. That was me.
Last but not least, Venckus Schmenkus, of the Tennessee Venckus',drops this one on me...
Peterson,
You think you're stressed? Really? My stomach has been in knots for months waiting to find out if I'm part of your entourage.
Venckus
Okay Derek, dually noted. I am still trying to get over the fact that I did not get the war hero on a podcast and have got a bit lazy. First order of business next week is getting Mitch Davis on his interview for the Entourage. I have a few days off next week so I can get this done. Oh, wait, he is going to some beach somewhere. Okay, so we will adjust our lineup a bit and skip over to Marty. Then Mitch, if he is back. Or we will just do Weiser. Get ready boys cause here I come.
Tomorrow, Doroshenko is driving me to the airport at 7am so I have to pack. Get ready E Town Here I come.
I can not concentrate on work right now. I know, I work in TV, there is not too much to concentrate on. Screw off. I work just as much as the next guy, it is just in TV you spend a lot of time waiting then when it is time to work, it is fast, intense, and non stop. Get 0ver yourself and your desk job.
Anyway, I am just a bit over 48 hours until I meet the Nature Boy Ric Flair. The 60 minute man, the leader of the most Elite wrestling organization EVER in the history of history, the Four Horseman. This is huge. I have sooooo much to think about. I will mention right now that I got a note on Facebook from PJ Stasko, of the slinging hooch in Alberta Staskos, that he will also be attending the show. Nice job PJ way to man up.
Okay, here is one of the things that I need to think about. This is so big, I do not want to do this wrong. This could have ramifications that could affect the space time continium let alone many other things. What the hell am I going to wear to the show? Seriously. Do I wear my Wrestlemania 19 shirt? Nah, there will be a lot of dudes there with black shirts on so I don't want to be just another jerk with a black shirt on. I know I am not going to wear my championship belt. I will NOT be that guy. I personally don't think I should ever wear it unless I won it. Kinda like the Stanley Cup. Don't drink from it until you win it.
What the hell do I wear? Do I wear my new AJ Hawk Packers jersey? Nah, that is crossing sports. It would be acceptable to wear a Pack jersey if I was going to an event that was held in Green Bay, but this is in Edmonton, so no go with the Pack jersey. Really, what the hell am I gonna wear. Maybe I need to go shopping when I get to E Town and find something appropriate.
This is a tough one, but not as tough as the next one. How do I pose in my pic with Ric? Do I give my trademark thumbs up pose, or pay homage to the Horsemen with the four fingers up? This is so tough. I really have some big decisions to make. I mean, really, in most of my brush with greatness photos I have done the thumbs up thing. It is my thing. Please do not copy it because I would hate to have to call my lawyer and sue your ass.
So do I break with such a time honored tradition to give the four fingers? It is a picture with the greatest Horseman of all times. He is the leader of the Horsemen. I bet if I give the four fingers he will also. That would be cool. But then it would be a break in tradition. Do I give the four fingers up on one hand and the thumbs up on the other. Wow, do I dare put my arm around him like I did with the Rock? Do I dare touch his 'custom made head to toe' Armani suit? This is so hard to decide.
You may be laughing right now at all this, but please do not. This is very serious. This picture will hang with honour in my man cave. Blown up big and framed really nice. You know, every thing looks better framed. That phrase is also Trade Marked so don't try to steal it. Probably hung somewhere near my autographed Brett Favre game ball. Huge deal. I am sooo stressed right now. I should be excited, which I am, but I should not be stressed.
Along the picture lines, my digital camera is getting a bit old and unreliable. I do not want to hand my camera to some jerk off to capture this momentus occassion only to come away with a blurred out crappy pic. That would be tragic. I need to find someone who will loan me their good camera for a few days so that I make this magic moment last forever. Oh yeah, I need to learn how to run said camera so I don't F that up. My head is gonna explode. Maybe Blair has a good camera? I could take my 35 mm camera. I know that will take a good picture. BUT then I have to develop the film and that means that I cannot post the picture within 10 minutes of me taking it. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
On top of those two whammys, I have to decide what to get autographed. The Belt is a no brainer. I have a replica World Heavyweight Championship Belt that I purchased during a weak moment in front of QVC back in 1999. It has Ric's name on it and I have wanted to get it auto'd for a long time. I hope there is no restrictions on what he will autograph because I want this bad. I also have a really cool WCW promo photo of Flair in his robe that would be cool, his book would be cool, the (never opened) box set action figures of the Four Horsemen would be cool, and maybe even a DVD. Choices. Choices. Choices. If I am only allowed one, it will be the belt. If they only allow what they have to get auto'd, that will suck.
THEN there is the whole thing about the question. What am I gonna do about that? As the great Chevy Chase said in the movie Vacation just before he jumped into the pool with a naked Christie Brinkley, "This is crazy, this is crazy, this is crazy...". I have a few narrowed down, but am still a bit torn on what to ask him. I am thinking of recording the whole show on my iPod so as to share a bit from it with you.
Oh and speaking of you. Thanks for all your great help in this question thing. Not one suggestion. Not even a smartass one from Robby like "Ask him if he likes wrestling with men in his underwear?". Nothing. In my time of need, you TundraTalk nation, give me nothing. I know you read my post because I have a site counter. I keep track of if you read it or not. After all the time wasting material I have given you over the years, you come up with nothing in the most critical time of need. Dammit!!! I need your help!!! You sit there in your ivory tower nay saying, always nay saying. ArrrrrrrrRRRRrrrRRRRrrrGHHHHhhhhhh.
Wait, sorry for blowing up like that. You did not deserve that, I am just stressed about this. I apologize. I will just sit up all night tonight and make the decisions like a big boy.
Big day is coming, can't wait..
Now GET BACK TO WORK.
Of course after my post, Marty came up strong. As usual.
Chris,
Wow - you need to stop stressing and just plan out what you need to do.. But always rememer - you need a backup plan in case something that you've been obsessing about for a month now, doesn't turn out the way you want it to.
First off - you can't do the regular thumbs up for Ric Flair.. It's got to be the four fingers, but do it sideways with the four fingers pointing at the man as an homage. Do not put your arm around him - that is bad form in this case.
The belt sounds like a good idea, but then remember - you're going to have to drag that around with you and protect it after that.. You should have a backup item to autograph and your own marker or something that will make a good solid autograph - don't expect him to have everything, you need to be self-contained.
Clothes - I don't know, I'm thinking that you need to go a little non-traditional here.. Maybe an actual button up shirt with a collar.. Oh hell, I just imagined you wearing that.. Never mind.
Now - listen up, this part is important.. Don't get all loaded the night before you go.. I know you're excited, but if you get liquored up you're going to feel like crap and you're going to forget something important. Worse than that - you will most likely do or say something extremely stupid when you meet Ric Flair - or worse yet you will pass some incredibly horrible gas just before the picture is taken and he will have some foul look on his face - and that will be your picture for all eternity. You standing there trying to smile with bloodshot eyes and half a thumbs up... and Ric Flair looking at you out of the side of his eyes and trying not to gag on your beer fart.
Okay, sorry, again that this has taken so long to get to. You know all the usual excuses, CHRIStmas rush, work, went to PHX for my dad's 70th birthday, too much TV to watch. You know, the usual things. I need to keep up with this better. I went from around 10 posts a month to two. Not good.
Lets take care of some book keeping things first. For those of you who have been following the Entourage competition closely, you have way more patience with it than I. Oh and Tony Mutzenberger, of the war hero Mutzenbergers, will not be doing a podcast. His and my schedule have not been able to connect so he has bowed out of the line up. Which is too bad because I had some wing dingers to ask him. What does that mean? Well, not much other than Mitch Davis, of the Regina Davis' is up next. Mitch is in the line up for Nepotism reasons and lets hope he can bring his red rage up a notch and give us a reason to consider him for one of the spots.
NEXT: I want you all to sit down. I have some big news. NO it is not we are having another kid because the operation did not take hold. Speaking of that traumatic situation, it did not work. Yup, you heard me right, the OPERATION DID NOT WORK. You might be saying to yourself, "Self how does Chris know it did not work if his wife is not preggers?" Well to not go into too much embarassing detail, lets just say there is a test, I took it and failed. It involved a cup, a brown paper bag, and a mad dash to the hospital. I think that was too much detail. Moving on.
Now some of you will blame it on me. Not really in a position to make a difference on whether it works or not laying on a table with my junk out, so that is not the reason. Some may take it to the next level and blame it on the Canadian Health Care system. I am not going to blame that because I had no problem getting it done and it did not cost anything so I will not blame that.
What I will blame is the dumb ass doctor. The fact that he said 'oops' during the procedure, the fact that he did not know what an iPod was, and the fact that his damn hands were cold. That is what I am going with.
Where do I go from here? I will tell you that back on that damn table is NOT an option. No way, no how. Screw, a, err, that. I think I need to just sit back and relax for a while and contemplate the gravity of this situation. Then decide what to do. For those of you who are in Regina and have this little procedure scheduled. STAY AWAY FROM DR. SOOD.
NEXT: Here is the meat of what is going on right now. Why may you ask is Ric Flair atop this paragraph? Well I will tell you. Ric Flair, as most of you know, is the greatest wrestler of all time. Hands down. No discussion, no debate. He retired last year at Wrestlemania. I have been watching this man on TV for around 30 years. Every time he hit the ring and I was anywhere near a TV I had it on. I am as you say a HUGE FAN. I own the action figures, the championship belt, the DVD's, and the program.
No one conducts and interview better than this guy. No one. I have been quoting this guy's catch phrases for years. The only thing I did not get to see is him wrestle in person. I saw him at Wrestlmania IX come in and do a run in on Hogan and Vince. I also once saw him in Edmonton do a run in on Chris Benoit during a Raw show. Never saw him wrestle. I once drove from Green Bay to Fargo for a Thursday night Thunder show on the rumour that he was going to be there. I saw something on a website that said he might be there so I got Nick to get tickets and took the day off so I could be there when he came back. Nope, did not happen.
Ric was, and I guess still is to some extent the guy who 'lived the gimmick'. Back in the day before Vince told everyone that wrestling was rigged, I will not say fake because these guys get hurt way too much for it to be fake, the guys would live the character. Like for instance, the night Nick Chase and I sent a beer over to Mr. Perfect. He looked over from the bar, gave us a dirty look and then drank the beer. Bad guys were bad, and good guys were good. Now people like Kane act way too nice outside the ring for me to even believe anything he does inside it.
Ric was the playboy wheeling, dealing, jet flying, limo riding, Kiss stealing, space mountain son of a gun. He said it on TV, he lived it in real life. I thought that was way too cool. Everything he said was cooler than anything I would ever say in my life. I wanted to meet Ric from the first day I saw him on TV back in 1982.
Fast forward to February of next year, and that dream comes true. Blair Stefishin, of the Edmonton Stefishin's, sends me this email...
The time has come. What time you ask? The time has come that the greatest man in history, the man who has shaped the world as we know it today, the man that IS the man has named E-town as a stop on his pilgrimage to spread wisdom as only THE man can. Who could this great prophet be you ask? My children, I speak of the one, the only, his holyness the Nature Boy; WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! When, you ask, will he spread his great gospel to us lowly servants of The Man? February 7, 2009; that's right, 1 night only to have the opportunity to be in the presence of greatness. You say you would give all your worldly belongings to be a part of this great pilgrimage?
Well, my children, that is an awesome show of devotion, though you need only sacrifice a small fee to have the opportunity to hear the words of his holyness. However, if you purport you are righteous enough to stand to the right hand of true greatness, a vial of your life essence and slightly larger fee is all you need renounce for VIP seating (first 2 rows), free autographed memorabilia, and the opportunity to meet, greet and lay your hands upon his holyness.
Thank you, my children, and may The Man bless us all. WOOOOOOOOO!
Wooooooooooo, is right. Ric is doing some kind of spoken word legends of wrestling tour and it's only stop in Canada, so far, is in Edmonton. I am soooooo going. Of course there is no way that I am NOT going to sit in the first two rows and get that meet and greet. This is going to be huge. There will probably be a tremor in the force. I bet that the security threat level (you remember that don't you. Bush used it to get re elected) will be raised to super red. There may be press there to cover this event. Two legends together in one place. Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
I cannot wait. Of course I will have full reports with photos and I hope some audio from the event. Blair and I will provide team coverage that no other multi dollar semi important blog site will have. Believe that. Now there is also the situation that I promised Donna that I would retire from wrestling if I got to go to Wrestlemania IX in Seattle. I checked the contract and I found a loophole that allows me to attend this show. Since there will be no wrestling, per se, it does not qualify as a wrestling event. It is a concert or a lecture. Nick is a good lawyer, look him up.
I will leave you with one last Ric Flair moment to get your humpday going...
Alright. Yup I have been slacking a bit. Okay, you are right, I have been slacking a ton. I have been kinda busy but that is no excuse. I cannot make excuses to you, the TundraTalk nation. In fact a few of you have been feeding me ideas and I have just been out of it. I had every intention of putting up a massive rim rocking post today but I just have been slacking off. Sorry if this one is a bit long so as to catch up...
A lot of things have happened in the past few weeks to talk about. In fact, the queens somehow managed to beat the Packers, Barack Obama managed to whip McCain and that dumb ass hockey mom and is working on turning America into a commie nation (that is so funny that anyone believes that), I went to see Lenny Kravitz and Bob Dylan in the span of two days, the I saw the Riders get their ass handed to them in the playoffs, I got the results from my wonderful operation (no Donna is not pregnant), and McKenna broke her wrist on the playground yesterday fighting with an 8th grader who said something not very nice about the Green Bay Packers. Okay, she just fell off the slide, I just wanted to add a bit of drama. I am telling you though if some 8th grader started talking shit about the Pack she would totally take care of business. Word.
Okay one thing that happened this fall that I just heard about it the passing of Tedd O'Connell. Read the article here. Tedd was my News Director at WGBA in Green Bay. As you all know I usually spit vitirol about News Directors I have had in the past. Maybe in these pages later I will do a post describing the worst ND's I had. That would be good. Tell some of the crazy shit that ND's always try to pull. Now I know those of you who work in the 'real world' have shitty bosses also, but it is a weird breed of person who wants to be a ND. They really are mosty just mall cops who run news organizations. I hate mall cops.
Tedd did not fit that mold, most of the time. Tedd was my ND for less than a year but I learned more about news, and more importantly journalism, than I have learned from any of the other Bozos I have worked for. Mike Chaussee, of the Bismarck Chaussee's, you are not included in the Bozo the Clown category. You are more into the Hamburgler the clown category. I am sooo funny. Anyway, Tedd knew his shit. He was also a hard ass. You knew where you stood with this guy and he didn't like anyone kissing his ass as most newsrooms and ND's are wanting you to do.
Check the jacket he is wearing in the pic above. You have to be a hard ass to be able to wear a jacket like that, ON TV! I also like the weather map in the back with the magnets on it. Old school. I tell ya, if stations would drop all this super doppler radar crap that reads the weather down to your street and went back to that I might start paying attention to them again. Seriously.
Tedd, was a no bull shit guy. I remember once when the Daryl Marquardt, of the Madison Marquardts, had his office upstairs (which was taken away by the dickhead ND who came after Tedd) a few of the shooters had some down time and we were in Daryl's office shooting the shit watching Braveheart when some Production weasel (who will remain nameless because I cannot remember his name), not Marty, walked by and thought we should not be all in one place let alone watching a movie. You know the old adage "A camera guy with out a camera on his shoulder is sluffing off". He went to Tedd and told on us. Tedd told this loser to go away and mind his own business. Sweet.
My favorite Tedd story is early on at WGBA when me and someone else(can't remember who, maybe Hauser?) were sent out to do a live last second in Oshkosh at the court house. The engineers had been working on the live truck all day so we jumped in and took off. Well, the generator that runs the thing is attached to the gas tank in the truck. If it gets to a quarter tank left the generator will not run so as you do not run your gas tank out running the generator then you cannot get home because you have an empty tank of gas.
I guess you can see where this is going. I did not look at the gas tank when we left. When we got to Oshkosh we started to set up and I went over to start the generator. No go. We tried shore power but the cable was not long enough. Needless to say we had around 20 minutes to get gas and then get back to get the live set up and on the air. Tedd was not pleased. We did get the shot up and on the air but it was hairy.
When I got back to the shop Tedd was waiting for me in his office. He tore a strip off of me up one side and down the other. He told me as he held up his index finger, and I quote, "Chris. That's your one. And you only get one." I said okay and started to walk out of the office when I remembered that we did get the shot up. I turned around and told him that despite all the difficultieswe did get the shot up and it all worked out in the end. He smirked at me and said "Yes you did. Now go home."
We did not have issues after that. I think he just wanted you to stand up for yourself and he respected that. The ones in the newsroom who were chickenshit and just wanted to get by he had problems with. Tedd had my respect, and I would like to think I had his.
Another thing I liked about him is the 'morning meeting newspaper phenomena'. In most newsrooms during the morning meeting all the 'decision makers' would sit around and read the paper for their news story ideas. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Hated that. By the time we do the story it is two days old. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Tedd told us that we were supposed to do the stories before the paper had them. While I was there Tedd would take the stories out of the paper that we did the day before and post them. If I remember correctly there were a lot of stories up on that bulletin board. The papers were watching us and copying OUR stories. Way cool.
Derek Venckus, of the Tenneessee Venckus's, has a great Tedd story...
Got a a hundred of em.....most of which are unsuitable for print, broadcast, or blog.Try this:We've just started up the news operation at WGBA. Our sports department consists of four people. Two of them are in Atlanta for the Olympics. That leaves Packers training camp two a days, etc to be covered by Bill Wixie and me.Well, this means six or seven day work weeks at about 10 or 11 hours per day. So, I hand in my time card with 20 hours of overtime and Tedd explodes.
Tedd: "What the f*** is this?
Me: My timecard.(bad answer)
Tedd (screaming); You think your smarta** bullshi* is funny? Well, it's not. I have a budget and you just fu**ed the whole thing up. And guess what?
Me: What?
Tedd: Because you f**ked the entire budget up, you're going to pay. You're not travelling to the Packers game this weekend so we can save the money you just blew. Maybe then you'll get your f**king act together.
Me: Let me get this straight, Tedd. I work my a** off covering Packers training camp...having the time of my life as a one man band. And, because I work my a** off, you're going to punish me by not letting me go to the game? That's absolute bulls***.
(Long Pause)
Tedd screams: Fine, then go to the fu**ing game. Sometimes I think he enjoyed someone challenging him. Crazy dude.
Venckus
Great story Derek. Tedd was a one of a kind. Marty Frey, of the Hollywood is burning Frey's, sends his classic Tedd Story. Take it away Marty...
When old Tedd first got hired - he was picked because he was part of Mr. T's (Jim Tomlin - GM) good ol' boy network and was available.. I think T knew him from his years in Madison and he still had a respected name and was working as a News Director in a small market in Maryland. So - the first real meeting that we had together was with me, Mr. T, Jay Zollar and Tedd and we were talking about the promotion strategy for the news launch. I went through a couple of ideas and the launch of news was to co-incide with the Atlanta Olympics so - I had decided to tie-in Olympic awareness with NBC-26 news awareness - both of them being the biggest things to happen in many years. Not a real mental promotional stretch - but it was in the brilliance of the execution that I was hoping it would pay off..
Well - T also wanted me to do something with Tedd where he was talking about the building of the newscast and he would be giving updates on the physical building as well as putting together the people that would make up the news and that seemed like a good idea to me as well.
So Tedd and I started doing these "Building NBC-26 News promos" together.. I would write up a script and Tedd would look it over for minute or two before we shot - but it was never tough to do and these were easy to finish and there was a logical progression to them..
After about a month of this, we met again to discuss everything about the switch and the building of the newscast and Jay Zollar said "I was talking with my wife and she really didn't get the promos with Tedd in them - she didn't know who he was, and it just didn't click with her and her friends". There was utter silence while Tedd reflected a moment with his pen tapping away like he always did... Looked Jay in the eye and said "Well - maybe your wife should be doing these promos, if we're going to be basing all our research on her and her friends". Then he calmly got up and left the room..
Jay's face was as red as a beet and Mr.T just looked around the room and said - "Let's do this again next Tuesday"...
I believe there is still a scar on my tongue where I was biting it, trying not to laugh..
Marty
Well Marty, glad you brought those promos up because I believe I have one to show everyone...
Shawn Hauser, of the Green Bay Hauser's, also has something to say about the passing of Tedd...
Hopper told me something about that a couple of weeks ago, sad day man....regardless of anything fromthe past.....I still feel the man was a genius and knew what the hell was going on!
Hope all is well up north, by the way.....keep your damn cold air up where it belongs!
Hauserinskinov
Thanks Hauser. Tedd O'Connell RIP.
NEXT:
James Grandy, of the Minot Grandy's sent me this note...
After watching your rider clip, it must bring up the debate. Who are the best/craziest fans in pro football? RIDER or PACKERS. I was at Taylor field this summer (yes its still Taylor field), it was freakin nuts.A nice argument for sure, but even YOU would have to admit the green and white beat the green and gold.
James Grandy Grandy Video Productions
Thank you James. Nice job getting the plug for Grandy Productions in there. Don't do it again, I am the only one that is allowed to plug. My site, my rules.
It is a debate that I have participated in. I agree with you on a few of your points. First, yes, it is called Taylor field. I hate all the corporate sponsorships that take away the names of great stadiums. Candlestick, Soldier Field, Lambeau Field will always be known under those names as far as I am concerned. Next thing I will agree with you on is the crowd is freaking nuts. You are correct there. They go all out. I have enjoyed every game I have attended at Taylor field. When you sit on the lower level you can totally get in the kitchen of the players if one chooses to. I, of course, ALWAYS choose to get in to a player wearing the wrong jersey grill. It is a must.
Now, as for the fans at Lambeau Field. The Packers have a huge advantage on the Riders. If it were face value as for being there no matter the weather, having a sold out barn even in the lean years, noise on the field factor, and I guess over all crazy it is about even.
BUT, and this is a HUGE but. You can Taligate at Lambeau, you can't at Taylor. By tailgate, I mean pull up in your rig, load out a grill and a cooler, then burn yourself some raw meat and tip yourself a few tasty beverages with around 71,000 of your closest friends. Toss the football around, toss a queen fan around, punch a bear fan, you know. Tailgate. Here at Taylor the closest thing you have is you come in, stand on the practice field, BUY a brat that someone else cooked(a good one I might add), BUY some beer at an inflated price (Pilsner, also very good), and stand there. It is nice, but it ain't tailgating. Sorry, the edge goes to the Pack. Thanks James for bringing it up though.
If anyone else would like to share their opinion I will be happy to listen to it then disregard it completely. Thank you.
NEXT: I just thought I would share a few Brett Favre things. First one is Terry Bradshaw speaking on what he thinks the Packers should have done and where they would be had the just kept Favre. Terry B is usually whacked out of his mind, which I kinda like in a rubbernecking kind of way, but he is right on in this video. He went off on Ted Thompson and Mike McCrappy. Said what I have been saying all year long.CLICK THIS LINK, type in Fired Up Favre on the search and then click on the Favre clip. It would not allow me to link directly so sorry about this weak instructions.
Now I want to show you a clip from NFL Network. I know a lot of you don't get the NFL Network so I will share. After the Jets game on Thursday Brett was on the set with the hosts. This is another thing I miss about Number 4. Just the way Brett is. Watch Favre on Set and see what I mean.
Here is a video that we did way back at KXMB TV in Bismark. Don King was in town to promote a fight that Virgil Hill was doing and we managed to get him on camera. This is how great a promoter he is no matter what you think of the man personally, he is a brilliant promoter. He was set to have a look at the Bismarck Civic Center and we had a camera there. He jumps out and with out anyone cueing him he spouts our slogan for KX. He did his research. He later did the promo in front of the sign with the sports guy. You know the sports guy did it because it was not lit and it is framed incorrectly. I have issues sorry.
We rush back and put this promo together thinking this would be great to have since he did not spout KFYR's promo, just ours. I think it is an okay promo for 1992 standards. The GM in his infinite wisdom told us to not run it because King was a convicted felon and it would 'reflect poorly on KX'. Moron. Anyway this promo never got any airtime, UNTIL NOW!!!
First thing I want to share with you is this. No we are not moving again and this isn't our new house. I wish. I know one guy who will recognize this house. Hauser, of the Green Bay Hauser's, spent a few days at the end of this house's driveway this summer. This is Number 4's house in Green Bay. Apparently it is for sale. In the article the author calls this house "simple". Uh yeah. Simple. My ass.
This house is amazing. I would love to live in this house. The house we sold in Edmonton was simple, this one is not. 4890 square feet of simpleton in the greatest city in the USA, Green Bay Wisconsin. Oh and did I mention that it used to house the family of the greatest QB ever to play in the NFL? The house that we had in Edmonton was around 1200 square feet. It did not have a formal dining room, had a modest kitchen, three bedrooms, and only one bathroom. That is simple. The only thing that is simple, and I guess it is because of all the economic problems that W has caused over the last 4 years, is the price, $475,000.
Now some of you are now screaming at your screen "Are you out of your beer and bratwurst filled mind?" "Hey Chris, how the hell are you considering that 475 g's simple?" I know it sounds crazy, but let me finish my thought. AND do the math. How do I base this? Well the house we had in Edmonton which I have brought up here a couple of times we bought it in 2001 for what I thought was way too much. Still nowhere near 475.
Now fast forward to 2007 when we decide to move to Saskatchewan. We managed to sell the house at more than what we paid for it, which is good investing right? What we got I will not get into because I do not want to seem to be bragging here on TundraTalk (which I never do). I will say it was more than what Favre is asking for his house. I of course would like to say that it was my shrewd investing sense that led us to purchase that home and that I knew that I would make serious coin on it and that if you want my financial advice to just give me a call and I can help you out. Oh and soon you will see my infomercial on late night TV shilling a CD on how to become wealthy overnight. But the real truth is that I could not balance a check book if you asked me to and we almost felt embarassed asking the price that we did. The market for houses in the area dictated the price of our home and we got what we wanted. What I wish would have happened is that Favre would have called me and we could have come to some sort of deal for his house shortly after we sold ours. That would have been awesome. Move back to the holy land AND live in Number 4's house. Now Donna of course told me that neither one of us would have work in Green Bay. Details, details. I told her we could give tours of the house and charge 20 bucks a pop. Who would't want a tour of the house that Brett Favre lived in for 6 months out of the year? That's right No One. They would be lined up around the block.
Here is how it would go..."Okay, please do not touch my bobble head collection or my game ball signed by Brett. Thank you. Over there you will see an area of the house where Brett used to watch TV. Here is where Brett ate his TV dinner. Oh and out there in the living room, is where Brett slept when he came home drunk out of his mind." The tour group goes..."Ohhhhhhhhh."
Yup, it could have been great. You know what. I am going to buy this house. Right after I make my millions and put my Entourage together. This will be the house we stay in on game weekends in Green Bay. How great would that be? "Hey Chris you going to the game this weekend?" "Yup, flying out this friday, staying in Brett's house." I can see it now. Just gotta get that screenplay done. NEXT: I would be remiss to not mention the passing of a legend. A guy who was the subject of one of the first "Just a little love on a Friday" emails. Way back in the early 2000's. Reg Dunlop, or Paul Newman, of Slapshot. Slapshot is the greatest sports movie of all times and Reg Dunlop was huge in it. Paul died on September 26th of lung cancer. I can not tell you how many times I have seen this movie. I do know that every hockey team I have know has ALWAYS had a copy of this movie on their bus, plane, or computer. It is mandatory. In fact I think I am going to break that one out this weekend, just for Paul.
Now I never got to meet the man, but it was not for lack of trying. I did once participate in a scrum interview with him at the Grand Prix of Edmonton. He was an onwer of a team so he was there every year. Of course you know me, the autograph hound that I am, I spent many an hour just haning out with a photo waiting for him to come by areas that I knew he should be near. I was seconds away from it once. Cory Blashill, of the Edmonton Blashill's, came by the paddock once whilst I was waiting and told me he was right around the corner. Well, he never came around the corner and I waited forever and did not get the auto. Too bad. I would have been a centerpiece of my collection. I had the picture of him on the bench, the one up above.
So here's to you Reg. I am foiling up in your honor. The next time I step on the ice I will play old time hockey. Oh, and the next time I hear the national anthem I will yell at someone that I am trying to listen to the song. Reg, you will be missed.
NEXT: I will leave you with this video of a fight at the Rider Stamp game last week in Calgary. Seems that someone has not learned that you do not mess with a cop, ever. Enjoy.
Hey everyone, sorry about neglecting you for so long. I have been fighting pneumonia, or however you spell it, for about 3 or 4 weeks and it was rough. At first all I could do was sleep and not eat. I went around 10 days without eating. Literally. It sucked so I am sorry that I have not posted anything.
As you can see from the picture above it snowed last night. Snow on Canadian Thanksgiving. Yup, today is thanksgiving here in Canada. That's right I get two days of turkey and football. Jealous? Yes I know you are. We got dumped on last night, but the sun is out and it should be gone soon. I hope so I need to take the boat out to it's winter resting place. That might be hard to do in snow.
Not only do I get two Thanksgivings this year I get to vote twice. No, I am not voting twice in the US election. It get to vote in the Canadian election on Tuesday. I am geeked. I will of course have pictures for you to see tomorrow. Can't wait to vote against Harper. What a tool. This is the guy if you remember, that would not hug his kid when he dropped him off at school. Total tool.
FIRST: So lets get back to it. I am still waiting for Tony to let me know when he can talk for the Podcast. I know this Entourage thing is taking a long time, but you know, something this important, you just can't go off half cocked. So since Tony is waiting for the right time to blow us away with his wit and charm I will give you a bit of Tony to tide you over. Back in the day in Bismarck Tony was an active member of my crew to make commercials for KXMB TV. He was very versatile, that is if playing himself makes him versatile. These ads are for a local movie theater. When was the last time you EVER saw a local theater advertise on TV. Yeah, never. It stars Yours Truly, Tony, and the guy you can't see in the shadows is Ross Lytle. Production wizard who now works, I have no idea where he works. Anyway, things to watch for in these ads are my bad acting, my bad hair, and Tony's quote "I don't get it". Enjoy.
NEXT: I went to see the savior of rock and roll the other night. Danko Jones played Regina at the Drink. Now whenever I have a chance to see Danko I do. This guy plays balls out rock and roll as you can see in the photo. If you are not Canadian I imagine you have not heard of him. If you haven't you should check him out. Amazing live. Great on CD. He has 4 records out and they are all good.
If he ever comes to your town, go and see him. This guy will knock your socks off. Really good. He has some cheesy videos that you can watch, but they do not do him justice live. Really.
Also check the dude with the camera phone in the picture. He recorded the whole show on that phone. What kind of memory card does he have? Holy crap. How do you shoot a whole two hours on a phone? I would like a copy of that video.
Okay, NEXT: The Pack have had a few bad weeks. Three in a row to be exact, but they put it back on the rails this last weekend with an ass whuppin of the seachickens. I think the queens could even beat them. Speaking of the queens, they really should thank the refs for their win this last weekend. Man that PI call was brutal. No way in hell that was even close to a PI. The Lions? Wow, you queens are an offensive juggernaut.
Meanwile Number four has 6 touchdowns in one game and a winning record. WTF? I am not really going to get into all that drama again. Really. Again the fine photo on the right was provided by PackerPalace Dot Com.
NEXT I would like to welcome back to the fold a guy who for some reason or another just fell off the face of the earth a while back. James Grandy, of the formerly Minnesota Babe Winkleman Grandy's, is now living in Minot. Which I hear is beautiful this time of year. I found an email to him recently, after searching forever, and he reconnected. Not sure why he dissappeared, maybe he was running from the CIA, or from a crazy rabid fish from one of those swamps in Minnesota. I don't know. I was worried that he had been dumped off the boat by Babe in some out of the way Minnesota swamp for insubordination. Nope, just decided to move to Minot and start his own biz. He has a crazy fishin' and huntin' show on outdoor channel that you can watch. That is the trailer up there. Have a look and let us all know what you think.
Welcome back James. Nice to see you again. Here's to you not going into the witness protection plan again.
Me thinks Me likes. I am a captain of a ship, we have lakes here in Saskatchewan with lots of fish, so you do the math. I think an episode should be shot here in Regina. Make sure you email (grandy@srt.com) the producers to let them know that this is an episode you want to see.
LAST - I will leave you today with this video. It is great. The partner of 'Maverick', you know the one. The one that is not qualified to be VP. Here she is at a Flyers game, again propping up the myth that she is a hockey mom, dropping the puck. She got her ass booed. It is awesome. I love Philly fans. They will boo anyone.
My favorite part is when she is getting the shit booed out of her she just ignores it, like she did every question in the debate, and waves like everyone is cheering. Completely oblivious. Good quality for someone running for VP.
Have a great weekend, and Happy Thanksgiving to you Canadians, Columbus day to all the Americans. Now GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!
Allllllllright. The Pack won on Monday night. Sweet game and a sweet result. A Rod looked good. I know I have been critical of the kid in the past but if he plays like he did on Monday night against the queens, we are all good. NOW it was against the queens, the crappyiest team ever, so he should not get a big head. After all a lot of that credit needs to go to me for my goatee shave. That's right, now that I have shaved the 'Rodgers' cut in my goatee, he will continue to win. Not to mention I am starting a huge craze for this style cut all over the nation. I made Packer Palace dot com THE place for all things Packer. Well, besides TundraTalk. Sweet coverage of my goat. Nice. No way I can shave it now. In the infamous words of Crash Davis..."Never Fu#k with a streak".
Another thing that is nice is that Scott Dahl, of the Minneapple Dahls, and Gene Principe, of the Edmonton Sportsnet Principes, both lost bets to me. Suckers. I now am owed 12 Leinies from Dahler and supper from Principe. I love it when a plan comes together.
A few other things to take care of before I get to the classic video to show you. Brett Favre made it to Regina. Thats right, I saw him the other day on Albert Street. I managed to snap a picture of him. Have a look... Nice huh? It is great that he made the trip to Regina to visit. He really is not gone, he is always with me in my travels up and down Albert here in Regina. I guess you could say Number 4 is my co pilot. Speaking of Number 4 Jenna Leith, of the Regina Leiths, is going to see him play this weekend in NY and I have been promised a program from the game. Nice. Mom, of the Phoenix Mom's, sent me this picture she snapped in Wisconsin the other weekend.
NEXT: Speaking of parents. I have the update on the Ahman Green Car raffle. All of my postive thinking and sending out the good vibes did not over ride all the negative thinking of my parents. Every time I spoke with them I told them that it is their car. They WILL win it. Done deal. They would always reply with, and I quote, "Yeah right". You can't go into a situation like this with an attitude that you will not win. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb. Anyway, needless to say they did not win. DAMN. I already had a trip planned in this car. That is a pic of my dad and my aunt standing next to the car. She got a key, they had a party going on so they sat around and waited then Betty got in the car, tried to start it, and.....nothing. Too bad.
So they also did not also win the trip to Texas for the game. Oh well. They got an autographed Ahman Green football. Nice. It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine. That ball will look great next to the Number 4 ball. NEXT:Robby DuPuis, of the Minneapple DuPuis, spent some time at the RNC in St. Paul last week. Here is his account of all those crazy white people who proclaim to want 'change', but I ain't buying it since they are the reason there are so many problems.... Here's a few photos from my time at the RNC though they're not very exciting. I was only in the building on Tuesday and Wednesday and (thankfully) didn't have to deal with the anarchists.
There's a few photos from our studio suite in the Xcel, a couple outside (security entrance and snipers on the roof) and inside the Fox News Channel tent (which was huge).
The week as a whole was a lot easier (for me) than I expected, but the entire production was MUCH larger that I anticipated. Two police officers on every corner of downtown St. Paul and the security zone was quite large and heavily guarded.
That's it. No exciting stories. Saw a few famous talking heads from cable news channels (which doesn't do much for me since I think their part of the problem and not helping matters) and a couple of polititians (same comment there).
I posted an album on Facebook if you're a facebooker.
Peace, rob
Thanks Robby for the update. Looks like you missed out on most of the crazy rich people speeches. Good Job.
NEXT: Now we get to the goods. I recently was cleaning my shed when I stumbled into the boxes of tapes that I have amassed in my TV career and I found some stuff I wanted to share with you. I am not going to give all of it up today, I am going to spread it out a bit over a few weeks. Just to keep you coming back. That my friends, is what we in the biz call a 'tease'. Nice.
First up is a classic Peterson video from around 1998. Right after There's Something About Mary came out. Of course you know that the greatest QB of all times made his screen debut in that film and took off like rockets. Well, I heard that a local golf tournament in Sheboygan, I love saying that name, Sheboygan, was having as a special celebrity guest Chris Elliot. My favorite comedic actor. Those of you who worked with me back in Bismarck remember the Christmas that I gave everyone in the building, that I wanted to, a copy of his book, Daddy's Boy. I am a huge fan, so of course I insisted that I get to go and cover this.
Of course my angles was that Brett Favre was in the movie with him and I could ask him about it. Bingo I get the green light to go. It was in the evening so I decided to take Donna with me for company. It also just happened to be a week when my parents were visiting. Sooooo they went also. Really kinda unprofessional of me, but that is one thing I have NEVER claimed to be was professional.
I of course was going to conduct the interview. Now that is not a big deal, but I do not beleive that I had ever done it before this. Those of you who take the time to listen to the TT Podcast know that I am not, like Roy Firestone, the best interviewer in the business. I, in fact, really suck. I was really nervous when I sat him down for the interview and did not remember any of the questions I had thought of. I now write them down. As you can see when you watch the interview he is a bit annoyed with my style, or lack there of, and cut me down on several occaisions. Chris is a guy who used to write for Dave Letterman back in the NBC days. He is the king of sarcasm and loves to take shots at people. He took many at me. But by the end of the interview I made him laugh and it was all good.
After the interview I had him sign my copy of Daddy's Boy, which he could not believe I had, and took a few pics. One of which was our Christmas card in 1998. Oh, I also remember when I introduced myself to him I told him my name was Chris Peterson, and he said "Shut up you are lying" I showed him my DL and he laughed and said "Do you live over your parents garage?" I said no, but these are my parents. He just rolled his eyes, laughed and sat down. Way cool. In case you do not know he had a sit com on FOX called Get a Life that his characters name was Chris Peterson. He was also a paper boy in that show. Great Show.
Anyway this is the first in many videos that I will show you that are very funny in a self depricating way. Enjoy.
I love this ad. Watch it over and over. RIP Mel. The first fan inducted into the Packers fan Hall of fame. A place I will someday be enshrined. Believe that.
Here is a pic of me with my official A Rod goatee. I encourage all of you Packer fans who can and will grow a goat to shave it in this manner. Lets get behind this guy. The Packers need us.
Go Pack Go!!!!
Plus I thought you all would like to see a picture of the queens Super Bowl Trophy case courtesy of Packer Palace dot com...
The Packers season is ready to start again and I thought I would post the video above just to get all of us motivated to cheer on the greatest football team to walk the face of the earth. I am not sure who shot this footage and I am also unsure of who edited it. Maybe I did, maybe James Rafferty, of the Montana Rafferty's. Who knows. All I know is it is awesome.
This is something I think about on occasion. At WGBA we had a great group of shooters. With the exception of Flan from FOX in Green Bay, WGBA had THE BEST football shooters in town. Hands down. NFL films looks at our stuff and drools. Anyway, enjoy this video. I do daily.
So the new season is upon us and I have yet to proclaim to you that the Packers are gonna win the Super Bowl. It is a seasonly occurrence, one that comes in the fall along with the bluster of the cold winds. Well this year I am still stinging a bit from the whole Brett Favre thing. Oh and to just pile on a bit TT decides to release Regina's own, Jon Ryan. You will know that story because TundraTalk broke the story NATIONWIDE. Those Bozo's dump the 9th ranked punter in the league for a guy who has NO ranking in the league. MORONS. Oh and again, all the great pics of Packers and stuff are from PACKER PALACE DOT COM.
Anyway to get back to my proclamation. Like I said it is tough. Had Number 4 still been here I would have been shouting it from the mountain tops, or here in Regina hilltops. Don't get me wrong the Packers are still going to win the SuperBowl. Oh yes they will. I just needed a little more time to get behind it this year. So here we go...
THE GREEN BAY PACKERS WILL WIN THE SUPER BOWL. Believe that.
They of course open the season this Monday night against the queens. Which brings me to my next comment. Like you didnt' see this one coming. The queens suck. What better team to start your season at home with an ass kicking? Maybe the bears. It will be great to see on MNF, for the whole world to see. A Rod better have his head wired on straight or there will be lynch mobs outside Lambeau.
For all you queen fans out there, there is a standing offer to bet on this game. Not for money, you all know the currencey I wager in. Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch, Funyuns, and the best beer in the world Leinie's. Bring it queen fan. I am running low on the Cap'n and Funyuns. Principe, you owe me a dinner, might as well be two. Bring it. Dahl, wanna go 'round again? Those Leinies that you paid up with this summer sure tasted good. Wanna fill my fridge some more? How about you Keller? You want some? I mean really it is like shooting queens in a barrel. How about some of you newbies out there? Want to get in on the action?
Oh and one more thing. I have been critical of A Rod our new QB that he is candy ankles and kind of a pussy but in honor of the team I have decided to throw my support behind this guy. I will be shaving my beard on Sunday to resemble his. He has this crazy goatee thing going on that I am sure will look crazy on me and sure as hell looks crazy on him. I will post it on game day for you all to laugh at.
To go along with the Packers season opener I also put up the classic CWA interview and video that I shot at Lambeau. This is a band that truly is awesome. I have all their albums and a poster. If anyone is interested in a copy of the CD's let me know. This is great music to listen to on game day, at a tailgate, or any other day of the year. VERY Inspirational. Ask Trevor Doroshenko of the Regina Doroshenkos. He knows.
In the past few days I found some old school stuff that I put to DVD and then to the computer. So in the next week or so I will be posting some classic WhiteHot productions stuff that will make you laugh, cry, and maybe throw up. Stay tuned and GO PACK GO!!!! Shane T Keller, of the Hollywood Kellers, sent Tony some love for being in Speilberg's video...
That is so cool! The coolest thing is not that he is in this video, but the reason that he is in this picture. I am very proud of Tony and am very proud to say that I know him, his wife and people of their caliber. It really takes a special thing to do what they do and to have that kind of conviction!! Well done.
So I spoke with Jon a bit this after noon on Facebook and he said that he has not had any interest from any other teams as of yet, but it is labour day and there should be some in the next few days.
The Packers coach McCarthy said in his afternoon presser that it came down to evaluations. They need to trust their evaluations? I would think a 35 yard run on a blown punt (high snap) would evaluate well. He also in the same breath said he had not seen any 'film' on the new guy. You are the head coach and you have not seen ANY tape, not film, on your new punter? You guys amaze me. Hey coach, maybe you should put your brain in the freezer instead of the footballs.
I told Jon that I love the Pack and am a diehard, but am not happy with the direction the team is going and he said he himself is not sure what is going on there.
Anyway, you heard it here first. If there is news you need to know, or at least news I think you need to know. Check TundraTalk first before you go to CNN or ESPN. Believe that.
Okay, so I am cruising facebook today and I notice that Jon Ryan has on his status "Jon Ryan is looking for a new employer." Crazy. I start looking around on the net for confirmation and can find nothing. He posted it at 10:38am this morning. Happy Labour Day Jon. So I guess this is a TT exclusive since it is yet to be confirmed by any 'mainstream' media.
So here it is...TundraTalk sources are telling TT that the Packers have cut Jon Ryan. Jon Ryan told TundraTalk earlier today at 10:38am that his is looking for a new employer. Sources here in TT headquarters think Ted Thompson is on crack. Does he think that A Rod is that good that they will never have to punt again? They will go for it on fourth down? Or they will never HAVE a fourth down. WTF? Who is going to punt now, KGB? Maybe Chumura will come back? Or Ted will just do it all himself since he is so great.
I am just confused.
For more exclusive updates keep it here on TundraTalk the blog that does not suck.
So I am watching some video from the Democratic National Convention today and I heard the video on the vetrans was really good. So I sat down to watch it and low and behold, who did I see? Tony Mutzenberger front and center in a still picture of a bunch of soldiers saluting. Not sure the situation of the picture but I knew right away this was Tony.
Tony Mutzenberger, of the Minot Mutzenbergers, made the big show. Nice job Tony. It sure will be cool when I put this Entourage together and maybe Tony makes the crew to have a war hero and a TV star all in the same package.
Okay, Tony's co star in this epic was none other than Tom Hanks. Oscar winning Tom Hanks. That's right. That is how Tony Rolls. On top of that, Steve freaking Speilberg directed the clip. Wow, one of the greatest directors of all time put Tony in one of his films. Put that one on his resume. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO. He is in right at the 39 second mark, so watch closely. On the YouTube version above he is at the 2:02 mark.
Also, I am here to tell you that I will be driving that car behind Ahman Green. Oh yes I will. See here is the story. CLICK HERE to read the history on the car. CLICK HERE to read a story on the raffle.
Now here is my story. Dad calls me and tells me that he and my Aunt Betty, of the Omaha Aunt Betty's, decided to buy three tickets for the raffle on the car. Five bucks a pop. The way it works is they draw 25 names that will receive a key to try to start the car. Guess what, they drew one of my old mans tickets. So you all know I believe in Density. It is my Density that I will be driving that car soon. On Sunday Aunt Betty will get her shot at starting that car. I know that her being a lifelong fan of the Huskers, not to mention a season ticket holder for many years, she is sure to get the right keys.
Dad thinks they will sell it after they win it. NO FREAKING WAY!!!! I told him in no uncertian terms will he sell that car. No way. I have already planned a trip to Vegas in that car with my boy Kenny B. I am going to look sooooo good in that car you will not believe it. Apparently it has a replica of Memorial Stadium in the trunk along with replicas of the NCAA National Championship Trophies. It is soooooo mine.
Peterson:
of the great book about Stampede Wrestling. You can buy it here. Great book. Let see if his ideas are as good as the book...
Donna, of the Donna's who lives in my house Donna's, also gave me some, ahem, advice.
Okay Derek, dually noted. I am still trying to get over the fact that I did not get the war hero on a podcast and have got a bit lazy. First order of business next week is getting Mitch Davis on his interview for the Entourage. I have a few days off next week so I can get this done. Oh, wait, he is going to some beach somewhere. Okay, so we will adjust our lineup a bit and skip over to Marty. Then Mitch, if he is back. Or we will just do Weiser. Get ready boys cause here I come.
